US Secret Service Identifies Security Breaches and Communication Failures Ahead of Trump Rally Shooting Incident
ai generated text
A recent report by the US Secret Service has highlighted a series of security failures that led to an attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a rally in July. Specifically, the report cites poor communication with local law enforcement, an over-reliance on mobile devices, and a lack of diligence in securing the area. Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe has acknowledged that complacency on the part of some agents led to a breach of security protocols, and that the agency cannot abdicate or defer its responsibilities to others. The report also faults local and federal law enforcement for their role in the security failures.
In America, elections should be decided at the ballot box, not by an assassin's bullet.
That vital piece of information was not relayed over the Secret Service radio network.
It's important that we hold ourselves to account for the failures of July 13th and that we use the lessons learned to make sure that we do not have another mission failure like this again.
While some members of the advance team were very diligent, there was complacency on the part of others that led to a breach of security protocols.
We cannot abdicate or defer our responsibilities to others.
The failure of personnel to broadcast via radio the description of the assailant, or vital information received from local law enforcement regarding a suspicious individual on the roof of the AGR complex, to all federal personnel at the Butler site inhibited the collective awareness of all Secret Service personnel.
At approximately 18:10 local time, by a phone call, the Secret Service security room calls the countersniper response agent reporting an individual on the roof of the AGR building.
What occurred on Sunday demonstrates the tremendous threat environment in which the Secret Service operates, with constant risks.
