Thanks! And I like your metaphor, in a way I would venture it’s the exact reason we are all here doing this together, a shared interest in finding out what’s hidden deeper.
That looks like a pretty close match from what I can tell! What was the date of the group photo again? The fb post was dated to April 2019. Smile looks the same, ears look the same from what I can make out, even down to the same crease/curve of his ballcap. He does appear a bit trimmer, which is why I ask of the date reference. No shame towards doing the work and getting fitter, just curious in terms of matching the two faces.
The list on Zelienpole’s website of police departments participating in the ESU team does not include Buffalo Twp, but it may just not be current. Buffalo Twp is in Butler County.
The Zelienople Police Department is proud to have three active members in the Butler County ESU.
“Other participating agencies include: Adams Township Police, Butler City Police, Butler Township Police, Cranberry Township Police, Jackson Township Police, Penn Township Police, Saxonburg Borough Police, and the Slippery Rock Borough Police.”
As I thought, plenty of time to get into better shape. Pretty sure this is probably the same guy.
I don’t think that would be a full list of participating agencies, from the way it’s worded sounds more like selected examples from a much broader list.
Further, we have the appearance of Allegheny County police, EOD ‘Bomb Squad’ guy on bodycam from Beaver County, bodycam 3. EOD guy is a Sargeant, I believe from your chart and his patches.
Unsure if he was included in the planning, he may be someone called in after the fact, but I don’t know for sure and I don’t have a name to go with the face/rank.
That explains why there was an Allegheny police vehicle there, which I don’t recall now where I spotted it at. I’ll have to add that county to the deck.
The absence of a local police representative in the Secret Service command post contributed to a crucial communications breakdown. News that a man had been spotted on a warehouse roof made it to the Secret Service command post, but not a report that he was armed — vital information that went only to the local police command post.
Dolly Sheep! Someone had already been reported with rangefinder. What else would they needed, perhaps a written permission request for shooting?
