I'm hitting Nelts of Sarah Ruth Rothwa-Fi 10-Ecton right now.
00:05
I have a long gun.
00:06
Do you need any additional edits?
00:13
Yeah, that would be great if you don't mind.
00:17
Copy the 45 spot.
00:23

00:28
So forth.

00:35
321. I also have a rifle.
00:37
I'm at Grant Road and Silverbell Road.
00:44
1719.
00:52
Go ahead. As long as my comp, it sounds like it is 80 to 90 yards north of Silverbell.
01:00
It's going to be on the east side of Silverbell.
01:03
He's saying that there's a brown jeep wrangler that's parked in the dirt lot and there's a subject who looks like he's pointing a rifle towards that power plant?
01:12
All right, puppy.
01:17
Can you just check on the status of survey?
01:22
You're time for all call.
01:27
Lincoln one.
01:28
I'm holding off here, so you set the Santa Cruz River Bridge over here.
01:36
He did advise that surveys at the hangar, so they said it would take about 30 or so minutes to launch, but they'd put their request in if you did want them to.
01:50
That's time 40 to.
01:53
I copy.
01:58
2048 copy, a previous suspect description.
02:03
What?
02:05
Male wearing a light shirt in jeans was pointing the rifle northeast towards the power plant.
02:16
Couldn't confirm if for sure it was a rifle, but he said it was a very long object that was on a tripod.
02:22
Didn't look like it was a scope or anything like that.
02:30
Happy, 24. No more attachments at this time.
02:37
Like a drone or survey to try to get a lay of the land first.
02:45
So you can five to two four.
02:48
I'm in route. I just say I'm just going to go three.
02:55
Some background I didn't hear where you're at.

He's the closest at this time.
03:20
Otherwise,

all units can go to the original 45 spot in the pack except for the drone unit, 3 Lincoln 1 and 2 out of 48.
03:35
I don't know if C-SARC is on but we try to get a good idea of what that facility is and contact numbers, please.
03:47
It's a substation for TEP.
03:54
I'd like to know if there's on-site security without going there,

unnecessarily raising the alarm.

Before I'm out with a really good one.
