A Security Plan must be made and a clear chain of command must be established immediately upon receiving information of the fact of the potential or actual occurrence of violence by the OIC of the police station having jurisdiction of the area. 3. The above must be shared through the chain of command up to the level of the Senior DIG overseeing law enforcement activities related to the relevant protest. 4.
