And per the Butler town manager I think there's some misconception about overall response. I can only speak for our officers transitioning from what was supposed to be a primary traffic control assistance to where it became … a suspicious person...Once the suspicious individual was identified as being in the vicinity of the building, our police, who were primarily assigned to traffic duty and traffic control, did … because of the proximity, move towards that building... one of our other police officers … literally boosted one of our [other officers] up high enough in the air to grab hold of the edge of the roof...and lost his grip, at which point he fell "approximately eight feet" to the ground and sprained his ankle, the township manager explained

They weren't there to provide security or monitor the building. The Secret Service appears to have lied. The building and area were unmonitored. As traffic police who reacted to the threat I think they did a recent job.
