PATROL CONTINUED A FEW HOURS LATER AT: 04:03 - In the early mornings of the 29th.
2-K-36
After I previously clocked off, I did so at Fort Zancudo as I wanted to check and do a touch-up on something within the K9 building project while it was in my head off-duty. After doing so and ensuring everything was locked up I had a rest there for a little while, a couple of hours later, I was awoken by a now deceased Deputy that was assisting with the project, as she said there was an emergency from a pager, so I clocked on duty to assist her and respond to this situation in Legion. From what I gathered, as I didn't want to interrupt communications during transit, armed suspects were spotted at Legion alongside trouble makers previously causing issues. Unfortunately, I don't have enough information on the events leading up to the pager to comment further and the only Deputies that I know who knew are unfortunately deceased.
There was a PD Officer who may know from their side who can provide further information on the cause of the pager request. As of writing this report, I don't recall his name off the top of my head. I'm sure I can find out, however, if it is needed, but I have a feeling that information will already be available in the gang report, the PD Officer said he was making and sending to Vince, who said he was passing it up the line alongside my bodycam.
When we reached the city, we picked up another Deputy who has since passed away. We then sat on the other side of Legion Square from the parking, waiting for the intel to be provided before moving in. Once intel was provided and confirmed sightings of a suspect having an SMG in the back of their pants, we moved in quickly and apprehended the suspect within seconds before they could escape. A door-lock failure was experienced on our scout. However, our scout was stolen before anyone could make an informed decision to stop it from happening during the high-tension situation with multiple potential threats in the immediate vicinity, should our focus be brought elsewhere by non-life-threatening suspects. Our main target was arrested and placed in a GSB Agent's Scout to be held until a vehicle could be brought over, which became my job as we had limited assets at the time.
As I was halfway on my way back from Davis, my heart sank as I heard one of the worst possible things any government employee can hear, "Shots fired, ambush". I believe I recall "Red & black" being stated before communications from our units at Legion parking ceased. As I passed by at haste, heavy automatic fire was used against myself in my scout, I didn't cease for moments and recovered from sudden front-right tire decompression and made my way around to a bridge overlooking Legion square and parking, I attempted to sneak up on anyone that was above Legion parking, however I found no one there and backed away to avoid a counter-ambush to my sneaking around and tried instead to pivot to intel gathering but the suspects didn't hang around. The only other surviving unit from PD was able to gather a few details from the initial ambush on our units and was able to relay them to Vince as he clocked on and to me.
From this point, the PD Officer grouped up with me and we made our way to rendezvous with Vince so we could get in an SEB armoured vehicle to try and re-establish control over Legion. This worked to disrupt the stragglers stealing PD/SD vehicles and we managed to recover all of our vehicles that we were aware of after multiple chases throughout the city as myself and the PD Officer got in a buffalo to keep up with fleeing vehicles.
After the recovery process, we actually ended up arresting one of the original suspects as a deceased Deputy managed to place charges on their suspect before the ambush. Upon seeing them, the suspect looked exactly like the original suspect from Legion parking, which I passed along to Vince alongside bodycam footage later on as the suspect made threats of going to the courts with this arrest.
I clocked off shortly after that arrest as the adrenaline crash came down and tiredness washed over me, and to process the events that transpired, going over what could have gone better and making a mental note to make suitable tactical suggestions in the future when possible in applicable situations. In this case, retreating from our rather open positions and going towards Legion square for better cover and randevu on the far side from parking with transport once available.
