Former secret service agent weighs in on Uvalde law enforcement response: KPRC2
Jim Napolitano is a retired US Secret Service agent and the former Police Chief of the City of Montgomery Police Department. He is now the President of Universal Safety & Security Solutions. His passion is helping to keep communities safe. KPRC 2 asked Napolitano to weigh in on the timeline of the Uvalde school shooting, after Texas DPS officials said in a news conference that there was a series of missteps in responding to the situation.
Napolitano said more information is necessary to get the full context of how and why decisions were made. Ideally, Napolitano said, the active shooter training he received advises that teams try to get to the shooter right away. However, he said, active shooter responders are trained thoroughly. However, he said many tactical teams lack access to the equipment to breach doorways.
“They used the best thing they could which was the key. And I don’t know how long it took them to get--- from the time they said we need the key to get in that door until the key was produced,” Napolitano said.
