I sat down and talked with Lt Kosta's from Oly PD about this for an hour. Basically he said it's the hospitals obligation to provide security and to call them after the crime has happened. So we call them after someone goes postal, but not until they pull the trigger.

And I am singling out O-town PD. We work with a bazillion other LE agencies, and rarely have problemo uno. Even the one state trooper I've got my eye out for is by all reputation a decent guy who dropped the ball, and the offending cadet is probably on his way to being invited to quit. The only LE dept we've consistently had trouble with not just with responding to calls, but also with dumping their violent suspects in our wait area and then leaving, is OPD. I can't imagine the whole dept has a cumulative brain tumor, but hey quantum physics allows for such things I suppose.
