Page 4 - Breaching Tools News Today

And americas children and american citizens need this report fast so americans police can make the changes today and not six months from now. so they should be putting this out a lightning report. i dont care if it is three to five pages, but the major findings that were the critical failures. no breaching tools, no tactical training for the commander or officers. 19 officers in a hallway with rifles but nobody goes around the back to the window or nobody ports through the door with their rifle ...

You could have a shotgun and you could have a semiautomatic rifle in the car. all of this needs to be explored whether training was academic in the classroom or whether they practiced. we need to know where the master key was and why wasnt it in the hands of a sergeant or the chief of the school police? where were the shields? where were the breaching tools? where was the county s.w.a.t. team, the city s.w.a.t. team. why did border patrol have to take over? was the right guy in charge or was he ...

Was no shooting inside, its except for at the police at the door. thats the information we got. thats a critical point. because if that is true, he wouldve had a few minutes to set up an emergency assault. maybe with a sniper an issue that fight through the window, and an assault going through with the keys right away. it beat the killers trigger finger. but if its not true, if the killer was inside shooting, or children were. then, you dont have time for an emergency assault. so what you have t...

Barricade, or situation like this. you have to train your local sergeants and lieutenants to be able to do it. like frank said, you have to have ballistic shields breaching equipments on the cards. if theyre killing, find a way to port the window and shoot him. this guy was hiding in the closet. if they poured it a window, or even in the hallway, they couldve been able to kill him when he came out of the closet. theres a lot of things that couldve been done, we need a few more facts. its so trag...

Which may apply depending on the facts with regard to this school chief of police and what he knew. the hope here and what this unit does for a living at doj is that they discern best practices and share them and make recommendations for training and even grant money. so, for example, if they were to find that nobody, none of the police on scene, which by the way they find hard to believe, none of the 19 officers in that hallway had proper breaching tools, they might make the recommendation for ...

Was this? am i wrong in thinking that this was beyond, look at this big doesnt describe this mistake? >> i agree with you. i think its a huge mistake in time, and entering the room. i think people get the semantics mixed up. they confuse active shooter training and hostage barricade issues. let me try to clear it up a little bit. its an active shooter situation. the training is, you move quickly, within the first, long guns, to move toward the shortage eliminated him. which was the initial delay...

I knew back then that this was going to be a problem. of course, covering virginia tech where they padlock the doors. it killed 32 people. the school in lancaster, pennsylvania, and i talked with agents and colleagues. since that time, does patrol have the ability to breach? they need to fix that. one last comment, if you do not have the tools >>. just get it here quicker. they have all of the breaching tools to get you inside or outside of court. >> jim kavanaugh and thank you, secretary castro...

To understand, i was a hostage negotiator. if you reach the other side of that door and the killer is in that door and you have no breaching tools, how are you going to get in? the smartest thing try the contact. if you can contact, you may be able to stop the killing through talking. if you can engage, if he will talk, that may stop him from killing and you may be able the buy some time until you can get an officer around to the window and maybe take him out with a sniper. by time you could eve...

Any breaching tools. this is systemic in policing. after the virginia tech massacre where they barricaded and locked the doors. the ammish school in lancaster, pennsylvania where they barricaded the doors. i always brought this up. i know we go to training but nobody is prepared to breach. they get in and get to the point of contact right behind the door. here is patrol officers. maybe they have tactical rifles. i hope so but they cant breach the door. this is a police barricade. a barricade is ...
