The new acting Director of the Secret Service has stated that:
1. radio communications between the SS and local LE agencies needs to be improved. Apparently the SS did not have one of the channels that local LE was using.
2. The SS will use their own drone for all future outside events that they are working.
3. A task force has been formed to see if any policy mistakes were made by the people who set up and approved the SS operations plan for the Trump rally. Employee's who made mistakes will be held accountable.
Don't know about the complacent thing.
A. Security inside the defined perimeter was pretty tight. The agents jumped very quickly on Trump once shots were fired.
B. There wasn't a formal walk thru between SS and local law enforcement the day of the rally.
C. The building that the shooter was on the roof did have a security sweep one hour before Trump started to speak. The SS did not have a plan to have that building to be under constant monitoring. Local LE counter snipers were in building number two on the second floor, but there role was watch the crowd, not monitor the roof where the shooter was.
