Since the police presence was around the clock, that would be about 10 policemen at every moment. So if they had three in the death room, two in the hallway, and two snipers, were there just three policemen on the street?
Actually there quite a few more in both sides of the driveway, up the block, down at the west entrance (dead end street) and mercifully for them a donut stop nearby. They told us they volunteered for the duty. They also had various unmarked vehicles, a large truck full of (surveillance?) equipment. Also, they were augmented but I can't ascertain the relationship, by Sheriff cops, the ones with the white shirts. Also, they patrolled the neighborhood heavily.
I would suppose two to four or even six at each entrance of the main driveway at all times. When time to arrest the little kids, they were there aplenty.
Oh, no. They had drive by cops too in unmarked vehicles and sometimes the Sheriff's would drive by on their breaks. Even State Troopers drove by on a looksee. When we saw the State Troopers, we thought maybe they were the beginning of a rescue. Well, they were just on lunch break. There were cops, Wackenhut ladies, swat, sheriff's, you name it. I nicknamed it COP WORLD (like a theme park).
