Family and friends gathered early at the parade route, setting up chairs, coolers, and heaters at their favorite spots. As our neighbors were marching by, playing instruments, dancing, cheering, and tossing out candy, our small, safe town suddenly became the site of a horrific and evil act. So many of our fellow neighbors suffered tremendous loss that day. Certainly, the six families who lost loved ones have been at the forefront of our thoughts, followed by all those who suffered painful and life-changing injuries. But we recognize that even if you did not suffer loss or injury, we all lost a sense of safety and security that day. In our positions, we pray that we are the only ones staying up at night worrying about the “what ifs.” It is our greatest hope that we can protect our community from the worst life has to offer. In our profession as first responders, we know that we cannot always control what takes place in our community. How we move forward from a tragedy like the one we suffered on November 21, 2021, proves just how much our community means to us. Sharing our after-action report is our way of being honest and transparent about how we performed when our city needed us the most & the lessons that we learned along the way.
