Crowd Control is a function generally associated with the police more than the military.  However, the Canadian Forces are occasionally asked to intervene in riot situations either in Canada, in support to Federal, Provincial and Municipal Governments, or overseas, during Coalition operations. Thus, there is a need to understand crowd behaviour and to determine optimal intervention strategies for crowd control. The Canadian Forces have skills and resources that might be called upon if a situation gets out of control and must be prepared to deploy on short notice. A model has been developed that can be used to understand these events in the time dimension both inside the event and from event to event. The model has been developed theoretically and “face validated” using data from two case studies. The model is required to evaluate appropriate tactics such as the employment of non-lethal weapons, and as a training simulator for strategic and tactical commanders.
