  • I believe so, in a lot of respects. Multiple agencies working together is always tasking no matter what the problem. I know we could not communicate with Secret Service or Pennsylvania State Police, or really in effort, the patrol directly.
  • We were supposed to get a face-to-face briefing with the Secret Service when they arrived, but that never happened... I think that that was a pivotal point where I started thinking things were wrong, because that never happened.
