If your LE is still training to sit outside and wait for swat, the whole dept needs to be fired. Everbody….even the janitor! If the dept head orders this approach they need to be fired and sued. DHS has stated single officer response is ok and recommended. There is more risk. Active avg someone shot ever 8-12 seconds, and have high hit to kill ratios. Waiting outside is unacceptable.
Why does it happen? Poor or no training, it won’t happen here mindset, people freeze up, talk is cheap and they get overwhelmed.
The fact is most of the time LE doesn’t get there until it’s all over. We show up in our cool guy gear but the show is over or damn near done.
