During a hostage rescue attempt, you should not try to assist the hostage rescue team. Interfering with their operations can jeopardize the safety of everyone involved. It is critical to prioritize your own safety by remaining still and low to the ground, following all instructions given by the rescue team, and encouraging others to remain calm. You should also expect to be handcuffed and detained temporarily during the operation. Any attempt to resist, offer advice, or act as a negotiator can increase danger and disrupt the rescue efforts. Staying passive, compliant, and calm is essential for a safe outcome.
