Answer 1

False. In general, the first officer on the scene of a robbery in progress should assess the situation, call for backup, and establish a secure perimeter before attempting to intervene. Rushing in without a plan can be dangerous and is not considered best practice in law enforcement. Always refer to your specific law enforcement agency's protocols and training materials for guidance.
