Stand Down? Police Captain Gave Broward Cops the Order to Set Up a Perimeter, Not Enter the School, Despite The Fact That That's Not the Protocol for Live-Shooting Situations

Trust your betters.

Only a deplorable wouldn't trust his betters.

The Broward Sheriff’s Office captain who initially took charge of the chaotic scene at a Parkland high school where 17 people were killed told deputies to form a perimeter around the deadly scene -- which they did instead of going in to confront the shooter, according to a partial BSO dispatch log obtained by the Miami Herald.

Capt. Jan Jordan, commander of BSO’s Parkland district, gave the order, the log shows, identifying her by her police call sign.

Broward Sheriff Scott Israel has said BSO training and nationwide active-shooter procedure call for armed law enforcement officers to confront shooters immediately rather than secure a scene.

[The Broward Sheriff's Office] did not directly dispute that Jordan issued a stand-down order. Nor did the agency confirm it.

Captain "Set up a Perimeter to Make Sure the Victims Don't Escape" Jordan is one of the three finalists for a police chief job in a town called Tequesta.

Sounds like everything we've come to expect from civil service training.
