Right
now,
these
are
basically
task
force
agreements,
one's
the
dea
task
force.
We
are
already
a
participant
in
that
we're
adding
a
officer
to
that
task,
force
to
fill
a
slot
that
was
vacant.
We'll
have
two
officers
on
there
and
I'll
just
note
that
this
underlying
agreement
is
coming
up
for
renewal
at
the
end
of
this
month.
So
this
addendum
will
take
us
to
the
end
of
that
contract.
So
we
don't
lose
that
spot,
but
then
we'll
we'll
be
coming
back
to
council
again
to
approve
another
dea
agreement.
C
It's
a
conglomeration
of
federal
state
and
local
agencies
providing
maritime
security,
marine
security
in
the
charleston
area,
we're
already
a
member
of
that
but
they're
forming
a
an
executive
steering
committee
working
on
some
standard
operating
procedures
and
basically
getting
together
the
the
executives
of
the
different
agencies
to
kind
of
look
at
the
role
of
this.
This
task
force
on
a
a
broader
level,
a
higher
level.
B
B
B
The
other
item
on
our
agenda
is
item
number
eight,
which
I
wanted
to
get
to
as
quickly
as
possible,
and
this
is
the
after
action
report
regarding
the
south
street
shootings,
the
shooting
that
took
place
on
memorial
day
weekend
and
I'm
heather.
I
believe
that
you're
going
to
leave
the
charge
on
on
this.
As
I
correct.
B
F
So
in
performing
this
after
action
report,
the
charleston
police
department
looked
at
several
factors,
and
this
is
a
standard
practice
for
the
department
when
there's
a
large
event
that
occurs
in
the
city
as
they've
done
before,
and
you
all
are
aware
of
that.
The
department
will
undergo
these
types
of
reviews
so
that
they
can
look
at
what
they
can
learn.
Lessons
learned
and
also
positive
practices.
So
they
look
at
the
good,
the
bad
and
the
ugly
when
they
look
at
these
issues.
F
In
this
instance,
we
know
we
had
a
shooting
on
may
30th
in
the
city,
the
shooting
resulted
in
10
people
being
injured,
nine
of
them
sustained
gunshot
wounds.
There
were
also
three
police
officers
that
were
injured
in
this
incident.
On
that
night
on
on
south
street,
and
one
of
the
officers
was
a
cpd
officer,
his
police
vehicle
was
shot
at
when
he
arrived.
He
was
responding
to
a
nuisance,
call
arrived
on
the
scene
and
his
marked
cruiser
sustained
gunfire.
F
F
F
I'm
sorry
that's
april
30th,
so
it's
april,
30th
may
28th
and
then
may
30th
and
in
summary,
what
the
department
found
was,
if
were
a
few
things.
First
of
all,
they
noticed
that
there's
this
ongoing
nationwide
trend
towards
these
new
types
of
pop-up
parties-
they
are.
The
word-
is
spread
through
social
media
quickly
and
a
lot
of
these
parties
grow
rapidly
in
size.
F
There's
not
always
intelligence
that
the
police
have
beforehand
and
they
spread
around
rather
quickly
and
another
important
aspect
that
was
found
about
these
parties
is
that
they
often
contain
individuals
that
are
confrontational
to
the
police
and
they
are
there
to
do
no
good.
So
it's
kind
of
a
different
animal
that
the
police
have
noticed
has
been
emerging.
F
Typically,
the
police
found
that
when
they
respond
to
large
parties
within
the
city,
they
are
able
to
disperse
them
quite
easily.
They
can
work
with
a
landowner,
homeowner
talk
to
them
and
then
the
party
can
be
dispersed
with
these
types
of
new
parties.
It's
a
little
different,
because
you
have
that
confrontational
aspect
and
there's
some
criminal
element
involved.
F
So
the
response
is
going
to
be
different
and
the
analysis
found
that,
because
these
are
now
appearing
within
our
area,
the
police
now
have
to
change
the
way
they
handle
things.
There
was
a
party
after
on
april,
30th
large
party,
large
gathering
and
cpd
responded
in
a
typical
fashion,
responding
to
individual
calls
for
service.
F
F
F
The
findings
were
one
that
there
was
a
delay
in
implementation
of
that
executive
command
directive
to
shut
parties
down.
The
directive
was
given,
of
course,
after
after
april
30th,
but
the
parties
on
may
30th
may
20th
and
may
30th
were
not
shut
down
and
in
looking
at
the
particulars
and
what
happened
in
that
incident,
it
became
clear
that
there
was
a
difference
between
giving
the
executive
command
to
shut
down
the
parties
and
actually
having
a
process
and
an
understanding
of
how
to
accomplish
that
objective.
F
The
cpd
really
understood
how
to
shut
down
parties
without
these
aspects
of
confrontational
individuals.
They
had
done
it
successfully
in
the
past.
In
this
instance,
you
could
not
use
those
same
tactics
so
between
the
directive
and
the
actual
developing
a
procedure
and
a
way
to
shut
the
parties
down.
There
was
not
an
accomplishment
of
the
objective.
The
the
officers
on
the
street,
the
command
duty
officers
and
sergeants
didn't
have
an
understanding
of
how
that
could
be
accomplished.
F
Before
I
get
into
the
well
yeah,
let
me
hit
on
the
response
to
the
shootings
too,
because
there
were
two
responses
on
may
30
from
cpd.
We
went
over
the
previous
parties
and
we
went
over
the
party
that
occurred
on
may
30th
on
south
street,
but
then
we
know
that
there
was
a
shooting
that
occurred
that
evening
at
about
11
40
p.m,
and
a
lot
of
the
calls
for
service
were
reviewed
and
listened
to
and
coming
up
with
this
analysis
to
determine
what
cpd's
response
was,
so
the
shirt
shooting
occurred
on
at
11
40
p.m.
F
That's
when
the
individual
officer
arrived
had
arrived
and
his
mark
cruiser
and
he
took
gunfire,
calls
went
out
following
the
shooting
and
we
know
there
were
injuries
that
were
involved
with
citizens,
but
there
was
a
tremendous
response
of
mutual
aid
that
came
out
to
help
first
responders
and
officers
across
the
area
immediately
responded
and
there
were
multiple
shootings
that
were
occurring
at
that
time
and
again,
a
notation
of
a
very
confrontational
and
aggressive
crowd.
At
that
moment,
the
order
to
that
area
was
quickly
restored
and
life-saving
measures
were
immediately
taken.
F
F
Positive
practices
with
the
intelligence
and
information
sharing,
there's
a
notation
that
these
new
types
of
events
can
rapidly
grow.
So
information
sharing
is
critically
important
for
these
parties
and
there's
a
note
to
encourage
citizens
to
continue
to
share
information
with
cpd
to
assist
them
in
their
awareness
of
the
parties.
F
F
There
some
of
the
officers
were
not
expecting
to
use
similar
tactics
that
they
usually
use
in
civil
disturbance
training.
This
is
the
shift
and
the
response
that
I
was
talking
about
with
this
type
of
activity,
a
shift
in
the
way
you
do
things
a
shift
in
the
way
you
respond,
which
is
where,
which
is
what
I'm
trying
to
explain,
is
where
the
gap
is
between
giving
the
directive
to
shut
down
and
then
actually
learning
how
to
do
that
and
an
effective
way
to
do
that.
F
Once
the
commanders
arrived
following,
the
shooting
the
incident
command
system
was
quickly
set
up,
it
fell
into
place,
it
was
effective
and
well
organized
the
scene.
The
shooting
scene
was
stabilized,
staging
locations
were
managed,
there
was
personnel,
accountability
put
in
place
and
safety
officers
were
identified,
the
public
information
team
responded
and
a
media
briefing
was
coordinated
within
a
few
hours
of
the
stabilation
stabilization
of
the
event.
F
F
So
there
are
several
action
items
underneath
that
lessons
learned
category
for
cpd
to
take,
and
several
of
them
have
already
been
done
and
have
are
not
are
complete.
The
first
one.
First
action
piece
is
command
duty.
Officers
and
supervisors
have
been
given
a
clear
directive
and
guidelines
on
how
to
handle
large
pop-up
parties
that
rapidly
increase
in
size
involving
confrontational
individuals,
so
that
directive
and
the
guidance
on
how
to
handle
them
has
been
solved
and
that
information
has
been
given
to
officers.
F
The
next
action
step
command.
Duty
officers
now
meet
on
a
weekly
basis,
with
the
deputy
chief
of
operations
or
his
designee
to
discuss
current
issues
prior
to
the
cdo's
rotation,
to
ensure
that
expectations
are
understood.
That's
part
of
that
clarity
of
communication
and
and
making
sure
that
the
command
duty
officer
has
the
information
about
what
is
going
on
in
the
area
and
any
any
other
helpful
information
that
may
be
needed
prior
to
going
on
duty.
F
Another
action
step
that
was
noted
in
this
category
is
cpd
continues
to
improve
its
use
of
internal
rostering
systems
that
enable
supervisors
to
immediately
review
the
availability
of
additional
personnel
when
needed.
Part
of
the
clarity
that
was
needed
on
that
night
was
the
availability
of
resources
and
how
to
obtain
those
resources.
So
again,
there
was
a
directive,
but
not
a
clear
understanding
of
how
to
carry
out
this
new
way
of
responding
to
this
type
of
party.
F
After
the
shots
were
fired,
the
command
duty
officer
responded
directly
to
the
scene,
although
the
cdo
initially
faced
challenges
in
managing
both
the
scene
and
the
res
response,
due
to
it
being
a
very
chaotic
environment,
he
initiated
cpd
command
notification,
which
allowed
for
a
command
response
that
has
resolved
the
issues
there.
So
there
was
some
initial
confusion
in
that
point,
but
then
it
fell
neatly
into
place
and,
as
I
mentioned,
there's
always
ongoing
training
in
that
area.
F
So
the
next
part
of
the
after
action
review
is
always
what
steps
do
we
take?
We
we've
come
and
then
that
analyzed
what
we
did
well
and
what
we
need
improvement
on.
But
what
are
we
going
to
do
next?
So
when
you
look
at
the
memo,
you'll
see
there's
a
section
on
steps
taken
immediately
following
may
30th,
and
also
some
of
the
actions
that
are
in
progress
I'll
briefly
go
over
those,
so
that
you
can
understand
what
the
status
quo
is
right
now.
F
F
There
were
officers
placed
there
to
maintain
a
high
visibility
and
engage
with
the
community
community
and
also
conduct
foot
patrols
after
30
days.
The
plan
concluded
after
no
further
incidents
occurred
additionally,
on
june
1st,
the
owner
of
a
vacant
lot
on
south
street
that
was
utilized
by
some
of
these
large
crowds
during
these
pop-up
parties,
permitted
cpd
to
go
and
place
no
trespassing
signs
in
the
on
that
vacant
lot
and
place
barricades
on
the
property
and
also
request
removal
of
any
unauthorized
persons
and
vehicles
on
the
property
team.
F
One
officers-
that's
the
team,
one
area
where
south
street
is
have
conducted
patrols
regularly
to
ensure
that
the
the
signs
on
that
property
are
complied
with
per
that
owner's
request.
So
part
of
the
review
showed
that
there
were
some
va.
There
was
one
particular
vacant
property
where
some
of
the
the
party-goers
would
gather
and
the
owner
actually
did
not
know
his
part.
His
property
was
being
utilized
for
that
and
did
not
agree
with
it.
So
cpd
was
able
to
reach
out
and
resolve
that
and
put
some
fencing
up.
F
Then
there's
also
an
immediate
action
that
occurred
after
the
shooting
residents
on
south
street
were
evicted
to
due
to
incidents
involving
lease
violations.
So
there
were
some
livability
type
actions
that
were
taken
with
residents
that
were
causing
trouble
and
had
lease
violations
and
they
were
evicted
in
that
incident.
Additionally,
two
homeowners
on
south
street,
where
the
party
started
on
may
30th
were
issued
public
nuisance
citations
for
holding
this
command
duty
officers
were
given
updates
by
the
legal
staff
regarding
criminal
statutes
and
ordinance
in
place
to
address
unlawful
events.
F
There
are
six
of
them.
One
continue
to
meet
with
patrol
officers
and
frontline
supervisors
to
discuss
these
positive
practices,
and
lessons
learned
commanders
will
continue
to
review
the
policies
regarding
these
aspects
of
the
review
and
sure
they're
being
addressed.
Ensure
training
is
being
done
and
it's
ongoing
and
that
the
continue
communications
are
clear
and
the
procedures
are
implemented
and
followed.
F
In
addition
to
the
weekly
command
staff,
crime
intelligence
briefings,
the
operations
bureau,
deputy
chief,
will
continue
to
hold
these
one-on-one
meetings
with
the
command
duty
officer
to
ensure
that
emerging
crime
trends
ongoing
investigations
incident
action
plans.
Special
events
are
reviewed
prior
to
the
command
duty
officer
going
on
duty.
F
F
There
are,
there
are
more
details
regarding
the
parties
in
the
report
than
than
I
touched
on.
I
did
give
you
a
basic
summary.
However:
I've
gone
over
all
the
positive
practices,
lessons
learned
and
next
steps.
The
chief
will
be
addressing
the
final
portion
of
the
after
action
report
report
regarding
conclusions
and
final
thoughts,
but
if
you
have
any
questions
for
me,
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
ask
me
now
or
later
we'll
move
on
to
the
chief.
B
F
F
B
B
B
B
A
We're
going
to
have
my
surgery
done,
but
I
I
spoke
to
the
tree
prior
to
this
after
the
incident
and
my
only
but
I
when
I
saw
what
happened
and
when
I
was
out
there.
I
stayed
out
there
from
12
30
until
8
o'clock
that
morning,
and
it
was
myself
and
mr
steve
alston
and
mr
edward
jones,
when
they
called
me.
A
I
was
out
there
from
that
time
from
7
30
until
sun
came
up
to
8
o'clock
that
morning
and
speaking
to
a
lot
of
the
the
residents
on
the
east
side
time
the
what
happened
and
with
the
information
that
I
received-
and
I
just
say
the
information
that
I
received-
don't
know
how
true
it
is
or
not,
but
speaking
to
all
the
people.
Even
some
people
on
south
street
was
the
first
incident
when
this
party
started.
A
That
was
next
door
to
their
home,
which
is
probably
was
not
correct
to
use.
But
that's
what
they
were
using
and
that
party
was
going
on
and
one
of
the
residents
on
the
on
south
street
called
because
of
noise
or
whatever
the
case
may
be,
and
the
patrol
came
out.
I
think
just
been
spoken
to
the
residents
who
was
having
the
party
at
the
time
and
the
party
still
went
on
because
they
said
on
private
property.
A
Someone
put
it
on
social
media
that
they
was
having
a
party
on
south
street,
so
everyone
from
those
particular
parties
came
down
on
south
street
and
that's
when
this
thing
got
really
thrown
out
of
proportion,
because
these
parties
was
a
graduation
party
of
people
who
was
graduating
from
school
and
that's
how
it
came
about
when
the
social
media
got
a
hula.
But
then
everyone
came
down
on
south
street,
so
I
looked
when
I
looked
at
it
was,
must
be
probably
was
over.
A
100
people
out
there
so
far
as
I
could
see
you
know,
I'm
more
and
I
told
the
chief
the
only
problem
that
I
had
well.
That
was
when
the
officer
was
passing
by
and
they
saw
that
people
were
in
the
street.
They
were
not
on
public
pro
private
property
anymore
when
they
dispersed
in
the
street.
It
should
have
been
to
me
shut
down
at
that
time.
That
was
my
take
on
it,
and
that
was
before
this
incident
happened
with
the
shooting.
A
So
if
it
was
dispersed
during
that
time,
I
think
we
could
alleviate
some
of
these
things.
That
was
happening
at
the
time,
and
that's
was
my
only
dilemma
on
that
on
the
proposal.
What
happened
in
that
community,
I
said
anytime,
you
and
they
didn't,
have
permits,
or
nothing
like
that.
So
any
time
when
the
party
dispersed
into
that
street,
they
are
not
on
private
property
anymore.
The
inhabitants
have
the
right
to
be
out
there
because
they
didn't
have
any
permit.
A
So
when
they
see
that
when
officers
was
passing
by
and
they
noticed
that
that's
to
me
should
have
been
shut
down,
it
should
have
been
dispersed
before
it
really
got
out
of
hand,
and
that
was
my
dilemma
on
the
whole
procedure
at
the
time,
and
I
relate
this
to
achieve.
Also,
I
spoke
to
him
about
it.
The
sheep
will
tell
you
I
spoke
to
him
about
it.
A
But
you
know
I
don't
know
all
the
procedures
that
you
have
to
go
through,
but
this
is
what
I
noticed,
because
I
was
out
there
and-
and
I
saw
when
all
the
policemen
came,
the
county,
the
state
north
charleston
my
place
and
all
these
officers
came
in.
I
was
out
there
when
all
them
was
out
there.
You
know
I
can't
go
in
the
crime
scene,
so
I
was
just
standing
there
and
speaking
to
some
of
the
officers.
A
So
that's
the
only
the
limit
I
saw
with
it
once
we
see
something:
that's
in
the
public
ram
coming
out
into
the
public
into
the
streets
and
things
it
should
be
shut
down
when
they
don't
have
it
from
it
and
don't
not
waiting
to
see.
What's
going
to
happen
because,
anytime,
you
have
a
big
crowd
like
that.
A
A
I
really
used
to
the
chief
also
that
when
the
press
conference
was
held
by
the
the
chief
and
the
the
mayor,
a
lot
of
the
community
members
got
upset
because
they
said
it
seemed
like
everything
was
relying
you
know
relating
to
the
officers
and
not
the
citizens
that
got
hurt
in
the
community
also,
so
they
got
a
little
upset
about
that
and
they
were
angry
about
it.
They're
still
angry
about
that
they
said.
Well,
they
don't
think
about
the
the
citizens.
That's
got
hurt.
A
All
they're
thinking
about
is
the
police
officers,
and
I
said
well,
you
know
this
is
what
they
see.
No,
no,
no.
He
said
you
should
come
on
there
and
talk
about
all
not
just
saying.
Oh,
our
offices
is
this,
and
the
officers
got
shot
and
the
officers
got
hurt
and
this.
So
this
is
a
dilemma,
and
this
is
what
got
them
upset
in
the
community
which
they
still
are.
A
You
know
pertaining
to
it,
so
I
hear
all
these
kickback
because
they're
going
to
jump
on
me
but
pertaining
to
all
of
it,
because
I'm
out
there
every
day,
I'm
out
there
all
night
till
one
o'clock
in
the
morning,
twelve
and
one
two
up
in
the
morning.
So
these
are
the
things
that
I'm
hearing
from
the
community
and
that's
when
I
mentioned
it
to
councilman
shade
who
was
over
the
public
safety-
and
I
mentioned
it
to
him
also-
and
this
is
the
dilemma
that
they
have
and
they
saw
this
press
conference.
A
You
see-
and
I
wasn't
I
didn't-
attend
the
press
conference,
but
this
is
what
they
heard
about
it
and
that's
what
they
saw
in
the
press
conference.
So
they
feel
that
the
you're,
not
thinking
nothing
about
the
community
you're.
Just
thinking
about
one
entity
running
the
t,
was
the
officers.
So
these
are
things
that
I
wanted
to
kind
of
throw
out
and
and
let
you
know
exactly
what
they
are
saying
about
it.
B
B
But
you
can't
tell
me
before
you
head
out
you
you
and
I
have
discussed,
and
we
talked
with
the
chief
and
the
mayor
about
this.
I
think
it
would
behoove
us
to
have
an
opportunity
to
engage
in
the
public
more
directly
with
with
this
and
hear
from
them.
Following
this
meeting,
which
you
know,
I
have
chatted
about
I'd
like
to
follow
through
with
that
with
you
in
the
immediate
future
as
well.
A
A
Got
shot
and
I
was
out
there
and
councilman
shade.
We
were
out
there.
We
all
kind
of
take,
took
care
of
the
rare
by
walking,
along
with
the
young
people
that
wanted
to
go
out
there
on
their
own
from
the
school
they
wanted
to
do
this,
and
I
told
the
community
I
said
I
don't.
I
don't
need
to
see
a
whole
bunch
of
adults
out
there
walking
with
the
young
people,
because
this
is
something
they
want
to
do.
A
They
want
to
do
and
we
don't
take
the
focus
of
the
young
people,
so
henry
the
school
sadness
glad
school
and
the
principal
and
teachers
they
all
were
out
there,
the
police
officers
about
there-
and
I
mean
they
manned
the
whole
various
areas.
They
did
a
good
job
of
mandating
the
areas
to
make
sure
everything
was
safe.
These
young
people
walked
walked
america
street
down
to
to
what
street
was
it
harris
street
and
walk
around
the
whole
block
and
came
back
to
the
school
with
their
signs?
A
Even
the
young
man
that
young
young
10
year
old
got
shot,
he
was
in
the
wheelchair
and
he
was
pushing
him
around
and
the
kids
them
the
youth
themselves
wanted
to
do
this.
This
was
something
that
they
wanted
to
do
so
I
applaud
them
for
that,
and
I
made
sure
that-
and
I
told
them
I
said
a
lot
of
adults
going
to
be
out
there-
I'm
not
going
to
be
a
part
of
tooth
because
the
young
people
want
to
do
this.
A
We
don't
want
to
take
the
focus
of
young
people,
so
people
can
see
that
young
people
are
concerned
about
safetyness
concern
of
what
they
have
to
go
through
in
these
communities.
So
that
was
something
that
we're
going
to
need
to.
You
know
address
with
them
too,
but
I
can
tell
them
gun.
Violence
is
everywhere
and
it's
hard
very
hard
to
deal
with
this
gun
violence,
and
I
said,
even
since
the
state
passed
the
open
carry
which
I
didn't
like
it,
which
I
I
spoke
about
it
against
it,
but
it
is
what
it
is.
A
You
know-
and
I
told
the
police
officer
can't
do
it
so
much
because
they
can't
even
stop
you
if
you
have
a
weapon
on
you
to
ask
if
you
have
a
weapon
until
you
commit
a
crime
and
that's
after
the
fact,
so
it
puts
you
it
put
them
in
a
dilemma
also.
So
these
are
things
that
I
don't
know
how
we
can
solve
it,
how
we
can
deal
with
it
because
it
is
already
here
and
is
what
it
is.
A
I
went
out
and
I
caught
my
well.
I
go
out
to
all
things
that's
happening
like
in
the
community.
I
represent,
and
I
spoke
to
the
grandmother
and
everything
and
assured
that
we
are
doing
the
best
we
can
and
things
like
that.
So
these
are
the
things
that
kind
of
kind
of
weigh
me
down
a
little
bit
and
trying
to
see
what
we
can
do
better.
A
What
we
can
do
to
try
to
assist
in
solving
these
things,
maybe
we
might
contact
our
state
legislator
by
our
state
senator
we
need,
because
we
need
all
help
from
all
of
them.
They
represent
these
areas,
so
they
need
to
come
out
there
too,
and
I
told
them
not
only
seeing
me
they
need
to
be
out
here
too.
The
county
council
members,
the
state
representative,
the
state,
senator
that
they
can
take
some
things
back
and
try
to
get
something
done
to
help
our
police
department
to
get
some
things
done
too.
A
B
Nobody's
going
to
ever
complain
about
your
zeal
and
enthusiasm
for
your
community
and
your
love
for
the
city
of
charleston,
and
we
you
and
I
were
walking
together
last
week.
We
hung
in
the
background
because,
as
you
said,
this
was
the
day
for
those
children
and
that
young
man
is
a
miracle,
he's
still
able
to
attend
that
that
rally
and
it
was
really
very
moving,
and
I
appreciated
the
opportunity
to
be
with
you
last
week
when
for
that
peace
riley.
So
thank
you.
B
D
D
The
one
thing
that
he
said
is
that
people
feel
like
we
spent
more
time
talking
about
the
officers
and
the
victims.
I'm
sorry
to
hear
that,
because
I
will
tell
you
that
I
speak
passionately
about
the
mothers
who
have
lost
their
children
by
name.
Monica
jefferson
lost
her
son,
malcolm
on
his
21st
birthday,
malik,
nelson
and
gadson
green.
D
I
could
go
on
and
on
I
I
won't
do
that,
but
I
will
tell
you
since
we're
talking
about
gun
violence,
and
it
is
something
that
I
planned
on
talking
about
and
I'll
segue
into
that
as
we
complete
this
after
action,
we
have
a
problem
with
gun
violence
in
our
communities.
We've
had
a
nine
year
old,
shot,
we've
had
a
10
year
old,
shot,
we've
got
a
13
year
old
shot.
D
We
have
we,
I
we
arrested
people
at
least
on
two
occasions
last
week
towards
the
end
of
the
week,
with
guns
on
their
way
to
school.
We
have
people
in
middle
school
that
are
carrying
guns
to
school
and
flashing
gang
signs.
I
could
go
on
and
on
and
on.
We
have
a
major
gun,
violence
problem.
We
we
arrested
three.
I
think
saturday.
B
B
Chief,
I'm
going
to
interrupt
you
for
a
second,
so
we
we
get
focused
back
on
just
the
after
action,
but
we
can
come
back
to
what
you're
saying.
I
don't
mean
to
interrupt
you
about
that's
very
important.
What
you
want
to
relate
to
us,
but
can
we
just
sort
of
get
back
to
the
after-action
report?
First,
please.
D
Sure
part
of
the
after
action
is
is
number
one
on
my
list
is
gun
violence.
I
won't
elaborate
anymore.
We
had
nine
people
shot,
as
we've
talked
about,
we
had
an
officer's
cruiser
had
multiple
rounds
to
include
in
the
headrest
of
his
his
car.
We're
very
fortunate
that
we
didn't
have
a
serious
injury
to
the
officer.
We
had
multiple
injuries
to
other
people.
D
It's
absolutely
relevant
to
this
conversation,
all
the
things
that
we're
doing
and
all
the
experiences
that
we're
having
with
the
youth
in
our
community.
It
was
mentioned,
I
think,
by
councilmember
mitchell.
These
are
not
just
handguns
with
low
caliber
rounds.
These
include
rifles,
including
that
night
with
two
two
three
and
other
rounds,
and
if
you
don't
know
what
those
do
in
the
meal,
they
use
those
traditionally
in
the
military
theater
and
they
will
literally
blow
the
head
off
your
shoulders.
D
D
These
criminal
element
violent
offenders
who
choose
to
carry
guns
in
our
communities
who
choose
to
violate
the
law
and
there's
another
person
that
we
charge
an
additional
person
involved
in
the
king
street
event
that
was
shot
and
hospitalized
and
he
had
a
gun
and
he
fired
his
gun
as
well.
So
there'll.
D
One
of
them
was
16.,
and
I
can
tell
you
I
I
without
getting
into
sealed
records
and
juveniles
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff.
I
hope
that
it,
his
name,
will
be
released
if
legally
we're
able
to,
because
of
the
seriousness
of
these
offenses
number
one
and
number
two.
I
can
tell
you
there's
in
most
of
these
cases,
there's
an
extensive
track
record.
This
is
not
the
first
go
round
and
the
other
person,
I'm
not
sure
the
age
they
were
an
adult
young,
adult.
D
We
have
done
a
lot
on
the
east
side,
which
again
is
tied
into
this.
A
tremendous
amount
of
work
on
the
east
side
initiatives,
problem-solving
efforts
working
with
livability,
with
the
fire
marshals,
with
the
police
department,
legal
and
the
city
in
terms
of
nuisance
abatement,
that's
something
that
was
covered.
D
It
was
part
of
the
after
action
to
make
sure
that
we're
solving
these
problems
and
addressing
them
in
other
creative
ways
as
a
shared
responsibility,
not
just
relying
on
the
police
to
respond
to
events
like
this
building
on
the
partnerships
and
relationships
trying
to
identify
and
work
with
the
land
owners
and
the
leaseholders
and
I'll.
Tell
you
in
terms
of
the
lessons
learned.
I
don't
think
it
could
have
been
better
stated
than
what
council
member
mitchell
said.
D
We
have
a
directive
that
a
party
that
is
out
of
control,
where
you
have
people
that
are
in
the
streets,
they're
blocking
vehicular
pedestrian
traffic
that
are
creating
a
nuisance
in
terms
of
loud
noise
or
there's
a
whole
variety
of
things
that
are
dislored,
disorderly
associated
with
events
like
this,
that
we
get
the
right
amount
of
resources
and
and
typically
in
a
beat
in
the
city
on
a
given
night.
You
don't
have
a
whole
lot
of
resources.
D
They're
they're
running
call
to
call
to
call
they're
they're
doing
a
lot
of
different
things,
but
there
were
60
officers
working
that
night.
We
have
the
ability
to
go
and
reach
out
to
other
teams
and
bring
resources
in.
We
do
that
on
a
variety
of
different
events
on
a
fairly
regular
basis
that
did
not
occur
on
the
30th,
and
so
that's
the
follow-up
to
this.
If
you
will
is
that
the
the
supervisor
knows
how
to
identify
an
event
like
this,
they
know
who
to
talk
to
the
cdo.
D
D
His
incident
command
system
and
implementing
that
with
command
and
control.
We
had
a
lot
of
mutual
aid
from
other
agencies
that
was
very
helpful.
Restoring
order
in
the
community
rendering
medical
aid
to
all
those
people
that
need
life-saving
measures
like
tourniquets,
chest,
wound,
bandages
and
other
things
and
I'll
tell
you.
D
The
sad
thing
is
is
in
these
incidents
and
heather
kind
of
touched
on
it,
they're,
actually
hostile
towards
the
police
and
attacking
the
police.
It's
not
like
hey
thanks
for
being
here.
You
know
we'll
turn
the
music
down,
it's
kind
of
quite
the
opposite,
and
you
had
people
from
a
lot
of
different
places
from
throughout
the
region.
It
was
very
difficult
for
the
officers
and
it
was
potentially
very
deadly
for
the
community
that
was
affected
and
impacted
by
this.
D
C
C
You
know
I
I,
like
the
analogy
chief,
you
pointed
out
that
councilmember
mitchell
knows
what
time
it
is,
and
I
think
you
know
just
for
all
of
us
it's
time
to
recognize
that
we
need
to
do
a
little
bit
better
and
we've
got
some
challenges,
but
we
need
to
step
up
to
them
for
sure.
I
think
that's
the
message
that
I'm
hearing
from
the
community,
I
don't
think
that
differs
across
the
board
on
this
caller
anywhere
else
in
the
city.
E
E
The
biggest
challenge
is
the
very
low
threshold
upon
which
folks
will
use
a
gun.
I
mean
it's
over
the
drop
of
a
hat.
It
seems
in
our
society
today
that
that
folks,
who
have
guns,
will
use
them
compounded
with
drug
activity
that
I
think
was
apparent
at
this
particular
incident
and
and
on
that
street.
So
the
the
field
judgment
required
to
to
follow
that
directive
that
that
chief
reynolds
had
given
is
is,
is
quite
important.
E
There
are
certain
conditions
that,
when
observed,
I
mean
purportedly
this
started
as
a
birthday
party
for
a
90-something
year
old
person
right
and
clearly
it
was
something
different
than
that
or
something
became
something
different
from
that,
and
he
very
poignantly
you
know
points
out
that
when,
when
they've
taken
over
the
street
when
when
when
folks
are
blocking
their
public
right-of-way
and
they're,
not
on
public
private
property
anymore,
that's
that
certainly
is
a
condition
under
this.
I
guess
you'd
say
new
protocol.
E
Yet
in
terms
of
codifying
making
that
directive,
you
know
a
working
policy
for
for
folks
out
in
the
field
and
and
unfortunately
it
took
this
event
incident
to
get
us
there,
but
so
I
I
would
just
ask
chief
to
confirm
to
us
that
that
that
we
are
there
now
and
and
that
directive
is,
is
firmly
embedded
in
our
working
practices
amongst
our
folks
out
in
the
field.
Is
that
correct.
D
It
is,
and
you've
asked
me
that
privately
and
I
think
it's
important
to
ask
that
publicly
as
well.
I
mean
you've
you've
made
that
clear
from
the
beginning
that
that's
you
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we've
followed
up
and
that
this
is
not
gonna
be
the
result
in
the
future.
And
yes,
I
can
tell
you
that
we've
had
multiple
meetings
as
a
command.
D
And
we
don't
take
that
lightly.
I
promise
and
and
yes,
the
answer
is:
we
have
a
protocol
and
resources
and
a
some
training
that
has
occurred
a
little
bit.
Although
this
is
not
particularly
complicated
and
I
don't
think
it
should
become
complicated
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
the
right
outcomes
as
we've
articulated
and
defined
them.
B
B
C
Am
I
am
thank
you
for
the
recognition
I
just
wanted
to
tell
everyone.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
that
the
city
of
charleston
has
given
to
me
and
my
family,
I'm
very
grateful.
It's
been
31
years
doesn't
seem
like
it's
been
that
long.
It's
been
a
really
good
career
met,
a
lot
of
quality
people
and
established
a
lot
of
lifelong
friendships,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
the
city
for
providing
me
with
this
opportunity.
C
B
C
No,
that's
not
accurate.
I
am
leaving
law
enforcement
I'll
be
going
over
with
the
charleston
county
government
in
a
civilian
position,
so
it's
totally
different
from
law
enforcement,
but
it's
a
new
opportunity,
a
new
challenge
and
I'm
definitely
looking
forward
to
it
and
excited
about
it.
So
thank
you.
B
But
we
appreciate
your
service
to
the
community.
We
appreciate
your
service
to
the
charleston
police
department
to
citizens
and
it
looks
like
you're
still
going
to
be
involved
in
some
capacity
serving
your
community,
and
we
thank
you
for
that.
Wish
you
well
in
your
future
endeavors
and
god
bless
you.
Thank
you,
sir.
I
appreciate
that
chief
and
heather.
Thank
you
all
for
y'all's
report.
It
was
very
thorough.
It
was
very
straightforward.
B
Some
of
the
problems
that
we
are
facing
in
this
community
are
not
new
problems,
just
to
be
quite
frank
with
everybody.
The
problem
is,
is
that
this
is
the
frequency
in
the
age
of
our
folks
who
are
now
carrying
down
to
becoming
more
violent.
That's
that
seems
to
be
totally
different
phenomenon
that
we're
just
not
used
to
and
accustomed
to.
But
you
know,
drug
issues
have
been
with
us
for
a
number
of
years.
These
task
forces
that
steve
rummel
went
over
with
us.
B
Maybe,
between
the
day
of
the
day
before
the
may
30th
shooting
we've
got
to
respond
and
the
scene
could
have
been
a
lot
worse.
Needless
to
say,
nobody
died
from
this
incident,
but
it
just
it
just
got
out
of
hand
completely
very
quickly
and,
as
I
think,
either
heather
or
the
chief
said,
there
wasn't
a
whole
lot
of
intelligence
out
there
that
we
were
able
to
intercept
to
to
prevent
this
from
happening,
but
it
it
did,
and
we,
I
think,
we're
learning
from
this.
B
We
need
to
interject
ourselves
a
little
bit
sooner
and
with
with
a
bigger
command
and
that
chief,
you
know,
I've
had
that
discussion
at
least
two
or
three
times
about
this
and
we've
we've
got
the
tools
to
implement
that
we
got
the
will
to
do
it.
I
know
we
got
the
will
to
do
it
and
your
your
department
is
well
trained
to
handle
that,
and
I
know
that
that
will
will
see
a
positive
impact
on
on
this.
B
So
thank
you
for
being
so
forthright
about
it
and
putting
it
out
there
and
we'll
move
forward
from
from
this
point.
I
know
your
investigation
is
ongoing.
Councilman
rappell,
I
see
that
you've
been
sitting
in
listening
in.
Is
there
some
comment
before
we
sign
off
that
you
wish
to
share,
or
just
we
appreciate
you
listening
in.
Thank
you.
C
B
B
Good
luck,
captain
middleton
on
your
new
direction
in
your
life,
heather,
very
good
report.
I
appreciate
the
department
being
so
cooperative
and
all
working
together
and
in
chief
as
developments
unravel
with
as
the
investigation
on
is
ongoing.
I'm
sure
we'll
hear
from
you
as
to
how
things
unfold
with
the
investigation
and
appreciate
you
being
on.
I
appreciate
all
everybody
else
who
was
on
this
meeting
for
listening
in.
