The techniques for neutralisation and mitigation will be tested according to the scenarios in terms of reliability and safety.The outcome will be a recommendation matrix for the Police forces where they easily can chose the correct countermeasure for the current situation.ENCOUNTER will also look into the legal and societal issues involved."
