I think the words "responding officers" speak for themselves. If Chief Dinse were talking about detectives who arrived on the scene much later, I think he would have made that clear.

Guess it's pretty well known who Suann Adams is, a close friend of the Smarts (so it is reported), and Susan Dixon is the name of the former LDS bishop. Could of course, be a different Susan Dixon, but a very interesting coincidence.
In the zeal of you and others to parse every word out of a Smart mouth, you have missed what I consider to be the glaring problem with the Adams woman's story - at least as reported by the Trib. As I have stated previously, a reliable source has told me that a single officer responded to the residence, followed shortly thereafter by a second officer. This was also confirmed by a second source. This is typical in that most "patrols" are manned by a single officer. The Adams woman claims there was a second officer sitting in the "lone" patrol car. Why would a second officer just sit in the car? That is the real question that emerges from the article - not the drivel that you, Neenah, Bella and varina propagate. There are three possible scenarios:
1) the second "officer" was a ride-along i.e. a student officer or citizen such as a member of a "Citizen's Police Academy" riding with the officer. This is fairly common, but usually only happens on day or swing shift - not mid-shift. Such ride-alongs sign waivers, etc. and are instructed to remain in the car or otherwise do exactly as instructed by the officer.
2) The second "officer" was off duty. That doesn't fly. In a middle of the night situation like this, it is unlikely that an off duty officer wouldn't have taken part.
3) The second "officer" was actually a canine. This is the more likely scenario. At least some SLCPD dogs ride in the back seat and could easily wander to the front in the absence of their trainer.
