Officers with SWAT and the Crisis Negotiation Team (CNT) have responded to the 2200-block of Muldoon Road for an on-going investigation.

APD Special Operations has responded to the scene. That work unit includes the Special Weapons and Tactics Unit (SWAT), the Crisis Negotiation Team (CNT), and the Tactical Support Unit (TSU). Depending on the actions of the suspect, our response may require using a variety of tactics and tools (to include the drone) to apprehend them. This could also involve the deploying of gas; nearby citizens with respiratory illnesses/sensitivities should remain inside and make sure doors and windows are closed.

Please avoid the area. Please follow officers’ instructions if you are in the area to include evacuation of your home if necessary. If you do not need to be in the vicinity, avoid it and seek alternative routes until further notice.

We ask both the public and the media to refrain from posting/publishing photos and/or video of the scene until the situation is over. Showing tactical positions and movements in these types of situations can put the public and officers’ safety at risk.

We appreciate the community's cooperation and understanding during our response and we will keep you informed of any new developments. 

APD Case: 22-22731
