Busy morning in the Emergency Operations Center.
Many of the participants in today’s class will be activated for the upcoming events in St. Louis County and of course the final debates before the election in November 2016.
Glad to see so many partner agencies from across the State of Missouri participating in today’s all-hazards training.
Reporting live from St. Louis County…
Good to see that Arch again.
St. Louis…who is hosting the very last 2016 Presidential Debate between the candidates before the November election.
Hello Missouri!
It’s #AlohaFriday
Joint Information Center (JIC) and Emergency Operations Center (EOC) deactivated.
Most resources and out-of-state teams have been demobed too.
And yes, Cleveland Public Square is beautiful!
Best part? I worked hard, but I had a solid NSSE thanks to the thousands of public safety pros from USSS, FBI, City of Cleveland and all the supporting agencies Whether at the EOC or JIC or ICP…or whatever agency – seriously proud of everyone’s hard work and diligence.
Last photo op for lots of all-hazards public safety pros.
Cheese on 3!
Reporting live from the Q…
Late night interviews with 10TV (Columbus) Kevin Landers and Cleveland Police Deputy Chief Drummond.
In-field interviews give people a great perspective of operations.
Also provide some great b-roll footage that news stations can use to run narratives.
Remember, the news peeps are our partners to help get the message out during crisis/emergency.
Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams being interviewed by Time Magazine…
…on a scheduled interview…
…at 2300.
He’s legit – the real deal. Definitely a hands-on Chief. #Respect
Huge volatile protest occurred today at E4th x Prospect in Cleveland.
They tried to burn a flag.
They didn’t listen.
They assaulted two officers.
Again, they should have listened to police.
Again, please abide by the rules.
Please.
During the flag burning protest, things got heated.
Public Safety Forces were out in numbers to keep the peace.
Little behind the scenes for you.
When we say media was clamoring around to get b-roll footage of protesters and demonstrators at the Republican National Convention, this is what it looked like from our side looking out.
From behind Police lines
FYI-This was about 20% of the media on scene for this protest. Most in here are national media.
