I highly doubt you know the "proper response" to these calls. No one on this board evens knows the exact complaint made to the police. We are just going on the general information that someone with a possible concealed firearm was seen at a resort. Again, there is no mention of a SWAT team responding in any of the reputable news sources or from the Orange County S.O. All the vehicles in the pictures are normal patrol vehicles and not special purpose SWAT vehicles. A witness mentioned something about SWAT and everyone is taking that as a fact now. #fakenews. Normal patrol officers are now armed with rifles, rifle-rated ballistic outer vests, ballistic shields, etc. Unfortunately its a product of the times we live in now. I had no idea we have so many police response experts commenting on this board.
I was a police officer for a large metro agency for almost 25 years. 17 of those years as a supervisor and shift commander. I think I have a good idea what a "proper response" is. The answer: no response is completely correct and there is no cookie-cutter response for calls like these. I know the incorrect response would be to have "an officer approach the man and ask a few questions."
