Sheriff’s deputy blasts Maine State Police for ‘radio silence’ during search for shooter
Ukrainian family of 9, including two kids, executed in their sleep in Russian-occupied townAuthorities tried to contact Robert Card over concerns he would ‘snap and commit a mass shooting’:docsA veteran Maine cop who was one of the first to respond to the state’s deadliest mass shooting blasted state police as “utter clowns” for keeping local officers in the dark during the frantic hunt for the gunman who had just killed 18 people.
“‘Radio silence’ is the best phrase to describe the amount of information the Maine State Police shared with the hundreds of law enforcement officers who responded to assist with this manhunt,” he wrote,“The upper echelons of the Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit and Command Staff are utter clowns and I wouldn’t hire them to manage the morning rush at Dunkin Donuts much less an investigation of this size.
A day after the shooting, 350 law enforcement officers from the state, county, and local levels from across Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont were assisting in the search. Federal agents including the FBI, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the US Marshals Service and the Department of Homeland Security also took part in the hunt.
The veteran officer also noted that his colleagues have developed networks and relationships that could have allowed information to spread within “seconds.”“No one knows this county better than the local officers who work in it,” Guay wrote. “We have utilized this networking strategy many times before in separate incidents, but when Maine State Police showed up Wednesday night…all that stopped.”
