Uvalde: Command, Communication, and Forcible Entry

With so many topics floating around the feeds while we were off, HM decides to ask MC some specifics about training on the LEO side compared to some of the issues that have arisen following the mass shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas. Our show always tried to share what we can learn from one another and this week we focus on three glaring issues that came from the Texas DPS investigation into the Uvalde response: Unified Command, Radio Communications and Forcible Entry. HM was very surprised at some of MC's answers. Editor's Note: In his confusion over mass shooting suspects, HM incorrectly states the killer in Uvalde was taken alive. He died at the scene. Also, the training was hosted 2 months prior to the shooting, not 2 weeks. This week we learn: If PD sets up ICS Command like Fire does and what elements are different That SWAT isn't always the answer in an active shooter scenario Radio communications failures can range from antenna issues to "I forgot to turn on my radio" That Mrs MC has to constantly add "Retired!" when MC mentions he's in law enforcement Support the show Join our Facebook Community!
