The DOJ Uvalde Report – Part 1
19th January 2024
The Department of Justice report on the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Tx was released today. It is about a 600-page report. I’m just starting to read the report, but I will say that the law enforcement response was an epic failure.
Words matter in training and in my opinion the words ‘Hunter Cells’ should be used to reinforce the concept that in an active shooter situation the first officer(s) that arrive at the scene are not perimeter builders and should not wait for a supervisor or incident commander to start hunting for the shooter. The only reactive part of searching for an active shooter is the dispatch call. The proactive action is searching for and neutralizing the shooter.
I will try to write a series of posts involving the DOJ report.
