The LEO's number one priority is Officer Safety, the public is secondary and this only for the public as a whole (the community) and not any one group (the university).

Officer safety is a high priority. However, I just spent my day training 25 officers from the area in rapid response to active shooter. This is the third Friday of 10 installments involving this training. My goal is to train 300 plus officers this year in this tactic.
This tactic is designed to pursue, contact, and stop an active shooter. We give officers the necessary training to do this as safely as possible.
Unfortunately, our area is a minority on this training but more and more agencies will begin to buy into it.
While we still give officer safety top priority, we also give them the tools to do the job the public is paying them for. Disparaging remarks like this do not help in achieving this goal.

I think after officer safety is government officials.
