A quick brief for you. We were pursuing a carjacking vehicle from earlier tonight.
00:04
Male suspect was armed with a handgun. It was north on I-19.
00:07
Ended here at the tracks with a vehicle crash.
00:12
The driver bailed south and east off of Nogales, into the orchard.
00:18
Copy that happened at the tracks that I buy Pima Mine, Gales?
00:24
Just south of, at the midway entrance of the orchard between Sarita and Pima.
00:34
I copy, yeah, our units are in the wrong spot, it looks like. I'll get him situated over there.
00:41
Copy, thank you. Self-sect was last in the southeast direction. We need to focus on Sarita Road in the east side of the orchard.
00:47
We could also use some help along the Gales, but the east side of the orchard and Sarita Road are most important right now.
00:55
Hi, Kauvi.
00:58
Keylo-1-2-0163. If you want to set up my guys as well, with containment, go for it.
01:05
I'm sorry, can't send on.
01:08
If you want to use my guys for containment as well, I start doing that, I'm pretty much in the middle of the pecan girls right now. So you have three or four of my guys, you can set up for containment on the east side or west side.
01:19
I copy, I got some units on the end of Santa Rita.
01:28
And I have units there at Sarita Nopalis, blocking there.
01:36
Yeah, kill 1-1-1-2.
01:37
Let me get a drive unit so I can head over to, I'll have one unit to get the Pima Mine in O'Gallis.
01:45
So, if you want to go.
01:49
Samina and Sarita, Forest Command.
01:52
South Santa Rita Road looks like it's going to be our eastern containment. We have units that are setting along that,
01:58
and they're taking care of the east side of the orchard. If you can have your first arriving officers take care of Sarita Road in the southwest area of the orchard off New Galles, please. So right, here.
02:08
I copy.
02:11
Adam 4-3, I'm going to be 23[2] on Saturday, I'm going to plus up with the units on the easternmost containment.
02:16
I want to find these elsewhere.
02:21
Same switching.
02:23

02:28
Rita Road has full access to the field.
02:35
213. 2017.
02:40
That's crime of the gate 7-9. I'll be able to clearing.
02:46
Copy 719.
02:55
403. I got from the 1017 stating that the couple was arguing multiple campsiders are leaving right now.
03:05
and they are pretending to sleep right now.
03:08
Yeah,
03:12
76, I'm going to dirt road off of Sarita.
03:15
All right, copy that. When you get relieved by Mark units, I'll have you 45 back here to stop.
03:25
Priority is obviously stopping his flight, but we're going to need a crisis scene here at some point.
03:32
In 1U8, pull up the map on your guys' radios to see exact locations and you can see what holes need to be filled.
03:43
I feel a lot of force command 3. The overall plan at this point is we're going to establish containment,
03:51
plug any holes that we have.
03:53
We'll secure a command post area for SWAT and K-9 to respond out.
03:58
Break.
04:01
Once that established and they're briefed,
04:05
they'll start to do a high-risk area search.
04:07
In the meantime, we'll continue with quads, with air and drones.
04:11
Great.
04:14
In the event you do spot somebody that's possibly the suspect will have air focus in on that location along with the drone.
04:23
And we'll have a team move up.
04:31
Do we have anybody on containment on Sarita? Everyone's going north and no one tank now.
04:40
Kila 1 and 2. I'll head to Sarita Nogales and let me get more one more unit down there.
04:48
Kilo-336 and 1060 Sarita Nogales.
04:54
Copy, next one needs to be Sarita and Sarita says he's going southeast and that's the exact quad.
05:00
Kelly,
05:03
we have units on Santa Rita right now. You'll me extend further east?
05:10
It's units over there by the Walden Grove High School.
05:18
And force commitment to radio, is there? If we can contact Salreda and have a supervisor respond to my location at the railroad tracks crash site.
05:32

06:17
When I'm at Midgix, Sam 9.
06:19
Since I'm already the Nogales got covered, do I go to the stop to launch from there?
06:26
Probably 7-6 to that unit. If you're able to come a little bit east of, you'll see my Maverick with the four-way flashes on. This is a dirt road that leads straight into the orchard if you want to take a containment spot here so I can head of the stop.
06:45
Yeah,
06:46
you can launch the drone from the bailout location.
06:51
Sam 9 to dispatch.
06:52
I just got info from Pima County. That survey is available and they're monitoring and ready to launch. They just need a formal request. Can you take care of that, please?
