After a force incident, which action is required regarding medical attention?

After a force incident, the immediate priority is to ensure medical attention is available and provided if needed. This means evaluating the person for injuries or medical issues and arranging appropriate care—such as transport to a medical facility or calling EMS—if there are any signs of injury, pain, dizziness, chest pain, breathing problems, or potential delayed effects. Injuries can be hidden or develop later, so offering and facilitating medical evaluation is a duty of care that protects the person, supports proper incident handling, and helps ensure an accurate record. If the person refuses care, document the refusal and continue to offer options, but do not ignore medical needs or rely on them to seek care on their own.
