Who can be assessed under the criteria of the Priorities of Life model?

The Priorities of Life model is designed to assess the needs of all involved parties during critical incidents. This model acknowledges that various stakeholders—including victims, suspects, bystanders, and law enforcement personnel—can be impacted during a crisis and their safety and well-being should be prioritized.

By emphasizing the need to consider all involved parties, the model supports a more holistic approach to crisis management. This means that not only the immediate victims should be safeguarded, but also the broader context that includes any individuals who might be at risk or who could be involved in the situation, whether they are actively engaged in the incident or are simply bystanders. Therefore, the assessment under the Priorities of Life model is inclusive and comprehensive, aiming to ensure a balanced response that prioritizes safety across the board.
