I wouldn’t believe her if she offered me a wet Cheeto.
For the state and locals to have comms with the SS all the agencies needed to share a tac channel. To do so everyone's radios need to be programed with the same encryption key.
It takes under 60 seconds to load the key but when you have hundreds of LEOs using dissimilar radios it can be quite a challenge.
To get around this problem it is SOP to have a command center or TALK so that all the information comes into one central location where it can be deconflicted and passed to those who need it.
It is my current understanding that the keys were never programed and no command center was set up. This is not incompetency, longstanding SOPs were not followed.
It was so bad the only way state and locals could get a message to the protection detail that Trump was is danger would be to fire their service weapon in the air.
