Instances?
an instance is where the event takes place in a personally generated area, meaning that 10 teams could be doing the same event at the same time without seeing each other as they are in their own instance of the event.
@pr0ph3cy 117 - The devs said it was a "group event" which sounds different from the police station going critical. However, they also mentioned how events dynamically occur on the map so that might hint at the idea that it's not instanced and just luck of the draw
From what I gleaned in interviews the system has a mixture of open zones that anyone can encounter the events (Dark Zones - PVP) to the missions like the police station which only has a 'meta' connection to the bigger open world. Hence it's all just you and your friends in that area. When you clear it out it signals that you are one more group to do so, and thus maybe increases its secure zone rating for the immediate future.
It is seamless though, you won't notice matchmaking and instancing going on for the most part.
Same thing that Destiny and upcoming games like Star Citizen will use. All that Cloud jazz.
