taking down of fanatics OR containment of fanatics Explanation: I am more confident about forcenés = fanatics than I am for réduction = taking down of (see URLs - which link to the EN and FR version of a Govt. of Canada National Defence website probably written in EN) "taking down of" might be too colloquial for your text. Also 'réduction' may simply mean "reduce the number of" -- not clear in the limited context. Reference: http://www.forces.gc.ca/site/commun/ml-fe/article-eng.asp?id...

reducing the number of lunatics Explanation: or maniacs or madmen. Here's the TLFi entry for forcené: II.− Substantif A.− Personne en proie à une crise de folie furieuse. Se démener comme un forcené. Le vieux paysan, retirant son arme des plaies, la replongeait coup sur coup dans le ventre, dans l'estomac, dans la gorge, frappant comme un forcené (Maupass., Contes et nouv., t. 2, St-Antoine, 1883, p. 201). Les gendarmes, venus arrêter Léopold dans son établissement, s'étaient vus dans l'obligation d'abattre le forcené (Aymé, Uranus, 1948, p. 267) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 32 mins (2011-08-16 20:55:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oops!, réduction may not be "reduction" here! :o |

subduing gunmen Explanation: I usually hear and read "subduing" in the police context. "Neutralizing" could also work. I don't think "crazed" or "lunatic" or "maniac" is necessary--the term "gunmen" says it all, because it immediately conjures up an image of people who have guns but are not using them in a law enforcement, military, hunting, or self-protection capacity. Furthermore, while it would clearly be desirable to reduce the number of gunmen, lunatics, etc., I don't know how the gendarmerie would go about doing so. To me, it's far more likely that they would be able to subdue/neutralize gunmen than to prevent their existence. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2011-08-16 21:25:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If "gunmen" is too specific, then how about "armed madmen"or "violent madmen"? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2011-08-16 21:28:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "armed individuals" or "violent individuals" could fit the context, but the word "individuals" doesn't seem to capture the "mentally unbalanced" part of "forcenés" |

overpowering crazed gunmen Explanation: > -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2011-08-16 22:02:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- En français, un forcené dans le langage de la police c'est quelque chose de précis : un homme armé qui se barricade dans une maison et menace de tirer sur la police qui lui demande de se rendre. Un homme avec une bombe ou un couteau... ce serait un terroriste, un gangster, mais pas un "forcené". http://www.cyberpresse.ca/actualites/quebec-canada/justice-e... Example sentence(s):

neutralizing/containment/incapacitation of the active (frenzied/mad/deranged) attacker Explanation: Old policy was CONTROL, CONTAIN, NEGOTIATE but often there is no time to plan if there is an active attacker/shooter who has taken hostages. "... The old doctrine of control, contain and negotiate could cost people their lives in a so-called "active shooter" incident. Now, SWAT teams and patrol officers alike know that sometimes they have to act immediately. An example of this new active shooter doctrine at work occurred in December 2006, when an angry man armed with a gun entered a Chicago office building and began shooting.

subduing beserk individuals/persons Explanation: I prefer "subdue" to "neutralise" because it is not a euphemistic way of trying to get us to accept unrestrained violence as routine. Beserk is a common way of referring to people who are acting in a deranged manner and has the advantage of not purporting to give a diagnosis; they might be certifiably insane, or just temporarily deranged. "exercised in order to subdue to the subject. ... berserk person, the Officers shall use extreme caution. " www.nyclu.org/pdfs/crc_police_mental_illness_report_120205....
