conference What ░░░░░░░░ that about What is ░░░░░░░░ recollection of the hotel ░░░░░░░░ do you think we ░░░░░░░░ to understand in these ░░░░░░░░ hours sir It was ░░░░░░░░ police executive research forum ░░░░░░░░ chiefs of police from ░░░░░░░░ the country who get ░░░░░░░░ and deal with issues ░░░░░░░░ law enforcement is facing ░░░░░░░░ large scale events Strategies ░░░░░░░░ a host of topics ░░░░░░░░ had a privilege of ░░░░░░░░ the police chief speak ░░░░░░░░ there Not only they ░░░░░░░░ to investigate the crime ░░░░░░░░ and find out what ░░░░░░░░ here they want to ░░░░░░░░ sure they don t ░░░░░░░░ victim s families as ░░░░░░░░ process goes on One ░░░░░░░░ the challenges you have ░░░░░░░░ the hipaa law that ░░░░░░░░ people from telling you ░░░░░░░░ your loved one might ░░░░░░░░ staying in several of ░░░░░░░░ hospitals in Las Vegas ░░░░░░░░ will have to get ░░░░░░░░ of people do the ░░░░░░░░ reunification as most expertly ░░░░░░░░ they can trying to ░░░░░░░░ sure that families are ░░░░░░░░ with family members whether ░░░░░░░░ are fatal victims of ░░░░░░░░ incident or they are ░░░░░░░░ surgery and need assistance ░░░░░░░░ make sure the families ░░░░░░░░ reunite as quickly as ░░░░░░░░ It s a long ░░░░░░░░ There will need to ░░░░░░░░ resources to help the ░░░░░░░░ And law enforcement in ░░░░░░░░ with the critical incident ░░░░░░░░ that comes from this ░░░░░░░░ This is a life ░░░░░░░░ event for everyone involved ░░░░░░░░ there has to be ░░░░░░░░ lot of support for ░░░░░░░░ going forward in the ░░░░░░░░ days weeks and months ░░░░░░░░ it plays out Bill ░░░░░░░░ you say is so ░░░░░░░░ unfortunately You have a ░░░░░░░░ of experience with that ░░░░░░░░ the Boston bombing when ░░░░░░░░ were separated trying to ░░░░░░░░ out who is where ░░░░░░░░ took me a day ░░░░░░░░ a half to find ░░░░░░░░ how many of my ░░░░░░░░ were injured It is ░░░░░░░░ difficult challenge You ve ░░░░░░░░ families in crisis You ░░░░░░░░ have people who drop ░░░░░░░░ cell phones and aren ░░░░░░░░ getting texts and emails ░░░░░░░░ people and hopefully will ░░░░░░░░ in touch with family ░░░░░░░░ but there will be ░░░░░░░░ lot of bad information ░░░░░░░░ trials and tribulations for ░░░░░░░░ families and victims and ░░░░░░░░ associates trying to figure ░░░░░░░░ if everyone is okay ░░░░░░░░ how bad this was ░░░░░░░░ lil for them Bill ░░░░░░░░ you been able to ░░░░░░░░ the live image of ░░░░░░░░ mandalay day Two windows ░░░░░░░░ blown out We don ░░░░░░░░ know if they re ░░░░░░░░ of the same room ░░░░░░░░ a larger suite I ░░░░░░░░ in a suite similar ░░░░░░░░ believe that you re ░░░░░░░░ from my understanding the ░░░░░░░░ of the building One ░░░░░░░░ the large suite area ░░░░░░░░ the bed was The ░░░░░░░░ is probably the bathroom ░░░░░░░░ That would give the ░░░░░░░░ extended ranges of fire ░░░░░░░░ the left and right ░░░░░░░░ increase his kill zone ░░░░░░░░ by giving him two ░░░░░░░░ positions to fire from ░░░░░░░░ He was there since ░░░░░░░░ which means if he ░░░░░░░░ the night Friday and ░░░░░░░░ he saw the concert ░░░░░░░░ out below before him ░░░░░░░░ this was clearly premeditated ░░░░░░░░ wonder how many trips ░░░░░░░░ made to that room ░░░░░░░░ get the amount of ░░░░░░░░ power that he had ░░░░░░░░ Absolutely How many times ░░░░░░░░ has been at the ░░░░░░░░ Was this room selected ░░░░░░░░ Did he call and ░░░░░░░░ for it He knew ░░░░░░░░ he was doing and ░░░░░░░░ clearly scoped out this ░░░░░░░░ It will be interesting ░░░░░░░░ see if he might ░░░░░░░░ been in mandalay bay ░░░░░░░░ year looking at this ░░░░░░░░ thinking of this for ░░░░░░░░ while Bill Do these ░░░░░░░░ of lone wolves as ░░░░░░░░ ve come to call ░░░░░░░░ do they operate entirely ░░░░░░░░ of other people Can ░░░░░░░░ do this under the ░░░░░░░░ without the help and ░░░░░░░░ of anyone else He ░░░░░░░░ can Although logistically the ░░░░░░░░ systems It is difficult ░░░░░░░░ buy an automatic weapon ░░░░░░░░ some places Legal in ░░░░░░░░ places I don t ░░░░░░░░ why Converting that if ░░░░░░░░ he would have to ░░░░░░░░ help from somebody some ░░░░░░░░ to do that But ░░░░░░░░ can stay under the ░░░░░░░░ screen and this will ░░░░░░░░ the way hotels going ░░░░░░░░ look at security and ░░░░░░░░ and training for their ░░░░░░░░ Out of every tragedy ░░░░░░░░ things that we need ░░░░░░░░ look at to make ░░░░░░░░ we re doing everything ░░░░░░░░ can to make our ░░░░░░░░ as safe as possible ░░░░░░░░ saw Richard Reid everyone ░░░░░░░░ off their shoes getting ░░░░░░░░ a plane Don t ░░░░░░░░ that will be an ░░░░░░░░ of this but certainly ░░░░░░░░ that hotels will look ░░░░░░░░ Bill You think how ░░░░░░░░ hotel rooms are in ░░░░░░░░ particular hotel And it ░░░░░░░░ one after the other ░░░░░░░░ Las Vegas strip An ░░░░░░░░ job It s a ░░░░░░░░ to have an elevated ░░░░░░░░ What we did after ░░░░░░░░ on the marathon how ░░░░░░░░ it have been worse ░░░░░░░░ while the bombs were ░░░░░░░░ off we had active ░░░░░░░░ in the upper hotel ░░░░░░░░ engaged in the crowd ░░░░░░░░ people think evil things ░░░░░░░░ we have to realize ░░░░░░░░ is evil in the ░░░░░░░░ and do everything we ░░░░░░░░ to mitigate it but ░░░░░░░░ the same time I ░░░░░░░░ hoping that Vegas has ░░░░░░░░ Boston experience where the ░░░░░░░░ comes out Unifys with ░░░░░░░░ other and helps everyone ░░░░░░░░ through this a day ░░░░░░░░ changed our nation and ░░░░░░░░ in a moment s ░░░░░░░░ on an evening in ░░░░░░░░ Bill The sheriff said ░░░░░░░░ derogatory information with law ░░░░░░░░ except for a citation ░░░░░░░░ few years ago Daniel ░░░░░░░░ you for your time ░░░░░░░░ there in Boston with us
