Eclipse Government

In the early morning hours of June 18th, during a routine patrol of the facility, bedsheets tied into a rope were noticed, indicating an attempt to scale the fence. Following standard operating procedures, an intensive search of the facility was initiated. After searching the prison for any evidence, the team started working just outside their jurisdiction in conjunction with the sheriff’s department.

A CERT team was investigating one of the surrounding clothing stores when a full stacked Park Ranger entered the area as the store. Based on early information, it was believed that the Park Ranger was either directly or indirectly connected to the prison break. Acting on that information, one of the units started to pursue the Park Ranger. Shortly after the chase began, this Park Ranger engaged another CERT unit with semi-automatic and fully automatic gunfire within Sandy Shores, temporarily disabling that cruiser. The original cruiser took some shots and even lost a tire or two but continued the pursuit with the LSSD all the way past Paleto.

With capture almost certain, the criminal organization cowardly began intentionally aiming for the tires of the cruisers, attempting to disable them and wreak havoc on the county. The CERT units kept up with the suspects until the lead LSSD vehicle was disabled. A CERT scout then took the lead and maintained visual contact until the suspects lost control of their vehicle. Four members exited, withdrew firearms, and started firing on the units. Thanks to countless hours of training, the response was fast and accurate, and the threats were quickly neutralized.

First aid was quickly rendered, and the suspects were rushed to the Paleto MD Station before being transported to SADOC to begin serving their sentences.

Shortly thereafter, there was a hostage situation within the SADOC lobby where a trainee SADOC guard was held hostage and two other civilians were caught in the crossfire in a rapidly escalating situation.

A small group of CERT operatives on the roof, where they regularly patrol, heard shouting from the front desk. Simultaneously, the word “Hostage” was heard over the radio. The CERT team jumped down from the CERT wall, locked the front desk door, and another CERT team came racing from the command offices. The first team began to negotiate, and the hostage-taker demanded a SADOC guard in exchange and to be taken somewhere. In accordance with policy and the San Andreas penal code, the request for a hostage was refused. Two other people were released from DOC and taken hostage by the perpetrator, who then forced them to stand by the doors as his hostages. The hostage-taker began a countdown from 10 minutes. The team tried steering the conversation by asking why he wanted this particular guard, to which he responded that the guard had been mean to him.

As the situation heated up, a CERT command member slowly crept to the door where the hostages were being held and unlocked it. He then backed away and subtly signaled the hostage to make a break for it when the hostage-taker was distracted. After about 60 seconds, the hostage-taker lost focus, and one hostage made a break for it and was rescued.

The hostage-taker lost his temper and started shooting the unarmed trainee. The moment the .50 caliber was discharged, the CERT team breached and quickly neutralized the hostage-taker before he could seriously harm the trainee.

The perpetrator was treated, transported, and served his time for his cowardly actions.

This led to units investigating exterior of Bolingbroke that led to units getting shot at, a pursuit occurring and many SADOC CERT units having to defend their lives.
After this had ended a clean-up occurred with four injured 10-15s where SADOC units treated and transported them.
SADOC units are unfamiliar with having to be the primary department helping with scenes outside of SADOC but I want to commend all CERT units that assisted at the scene with the injured especially with their lack of training for situations like these. I was thoroughly impressed by all of their actions as it was all completed safely, efficiently and professionally.

I got myself in a position were i could keep watch and had an angle to shoot at the individual if the need arose, at the same time as we communicated with each other and the rest of our department, the Warden began negotiations with him. He was demanding we trade an officer for another officer which is just unacceptable as he had shown intentions to harm the officer he was demanding to get, Our Warden tried to find another negotiation that maybe would interest the hostage taker but he was not interested revealing he had two other hostages in the room.
Carefully we extracted both of the civilian hostages our of the room and continued with attempting a negotiation when the hostage taker decided to take a shot at our officer he had hostage, in this moment from both entrances DOC made entry and neutralized the individual, I personally shot a short burst moving my finger from the trigger as soon as I noticed him fall.
