These events are inherently dangerous if they rise to the level of a civil disturbance or riot. The goal during a dispersal is to increase public safety and stop the dangerous criminal acts. Officers provide these warnings via the sound truck and on social media and provide a lengthy opportunity for those in the area to comply with the orders given. PPB continues to provide clear direction and warnings to disperse when events become unsafe and criminal activity is occurring. A Riot is when six or more persons engage in tumultuous and violent conduct and thereby intentionally or recklessly creating a grave risk of causing public alarm, excluding persons who are engaged in passive resistance.
