Not much, really. The Branch Davidian standoff took place near Axtell, TX, which is in unincorporated McLennan County. The local law enforcement in that area is the McLennan County Sheriff's Office.

The media have, for years, associated the Branch Davidian compound with Waco, probably because of their rank ignorance as to the location of Axtell. The Branch Davidian episode didn't occur in Waco at all, of course, but about 10 miles northeast. Consequently, few (if any) of the law enforcement personnel involved would have been City of Waco police.

*************

Keep in mine the Branch Davidians were located some 10 miles or so northeast of Waco.
So the Waco cops would not have been involved. I think some federal agency was the
one in charge up there.

Likely nothing since that one involved the FBI and ATF.
