I don’t have my notes handy, so my recollection won’t be comprehensive, but among the recommendations were one of the things that they tried to do - tell the dispatcher that there’s an armed good guy on scene.
The dispatcher’s failure to inform the cops is a grievous mistake.
Also he recommends to convey a description of you to the dispatchers.
Another is to, if possible, stand in such a way that you’ll see the responding officers before they see you, and you can call out to them. Back against the wall, facing the entrance, and the like.
I’ll see if I can track down my notes.
Yeah - but if the story is correct, these guys were not responding to the 911 call. They heard the invasion on their own (???) And were responding on their own, not to the call?
Sure... absolutely if you make a 911 call about a home invasion, and you are armed, you should disclose that. My brother actually has a rather amusing story to tell about that, but in this case, if the telling is correct, it’s as if there was no call, the cop in the room only had what his eyes could see to guide him.
