Stacker,
I’m agreeing with you, not everyone is an SAS Trooper, but as I relayed the most laid back can become one with training. Again, now that it’s seems a total of four Deputies do the same thing and the City cops rushed in as soon as they arrived, I have to question that Dept’s training and/or atmosphere of complacency that was allowed to flourish.
I was a supervisor for 11 years, that School Deputy had to have one or more in the 25 years he was the school Deputy. I would like to know if anyone ever asked him “ok what’s the plan if this happens ?”
When I was a new Sgt I was made the“Hurricane Sgt” for the Precinct (before Sandy) and I had to come up with a plan, in writing, of steps we needed to take if there was a Category 5 Hurricane.
