An
analysis of 911 calls, radio traffic and security footage released by
authorities Thursday reveals system failures amid the chaos and
confusion between law enforcement during the Valentine's Day school
shooting in South Florida.
The
Broward County Sheriff's Office analyzed the materials and released a
thorough timeline, along with audio recordings, detailing law
enforcement's response and operations on Feb. 14, when a gunman opened
fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, killing 17
people and injuring others.
The
sheriff's office explained in its report that it operates Broward
County's regional 911 system, but the city of Coral Springs isn't part
of that and thus operates its own separate center. The city of Parkland
contracts the Coral Springs Fire Department for its fire rescue services
and the Broward County Sheriff's Office for its law enforcement
services.
According
to the sheriff's office, all cellular 911 calls from Parkland are
therefore routed to the Coral Springs Communications Center, which is
then tasked with transferring those calls to the Coral Springs Fire
Department, the Broward County Sheriff's Office or both, depending on
the emergency.
