When you don’t work for that agency, you better damn well let someone in your agency know you are rolling. I didn’t say they were freelancing, I said that you just can’t have neighboring agencies respond to each other’s calls, without letting their commands know they are going.
Yes, you did.
I am going to repeat this one more time. They were with the guys they were training with.
We do not know exactly what these guys did. They showed up. After that, it is all speculation.
However, if SWAT officers are a few minutes away and they don’t respond to multiple shots fired at a school, we would be LIVID. Doesn’t matter what department they care from.
You actually think that happened? I see on local TV every night a police pursuit that goes through many jurisdictions. You think the LAPD, Fullerton PD, and back up to the North Hollywood PD are not in constant comms? They just pull out of their respective jurisdictions to meld in with others? Of course not. There is a protocol that all neighboring PD's, along with surrounding County Sheriffs that is rehearsed and used on a specific radio frequency to coordinate the chase.
How do you think the Broward Cowards, Coral Springs PD, SWAT trainies and Miramar knew it was happening? You know less than you think you do. This is not the wild west when different jurisdictions had to telegraph to await a backup posse. Cops have body, handheld, and car radios. There is not a cop out there, yes even in SWAT training, that doesn't have access to radio comms. Please, just stop.
