"High risk incidents are inherently unpredictable. With the benefit of hindsight, some may question the need for such resource deployments. Emergency equipment and capabilities must be immediately available when needed, and those needs can emerge in seconds. As police, our goal is always to seek peaceful resolution to high-risk incidents, and that requires readily available options to respond effectively as a situation evolves," said Police Chief Derek Davis in a news release. " When it comes to the safety of the public and our responding officers, this is a proper, responsible, and necessary response in today’s world. We are fortunate to have a dedicated and highly trained team of officers to respond to dynamic and complex incidents in the communities we serve."
The identity of the accused will not be released to protect the identity of the victim.
