Triage of injured victims is the first priority at any accident scene because life safety supersedes all other concerns.

Answer: Armed robbery in progress
An armed robbery in progress poses an immediate threat to life and requires the fastest response.
Upon arriving at the scene of a reported shooting, an officer's first priority is to:
