Yes, they definitely did well and did what the current training has us do.

Systematically search. Once there are indicators (gunshots), you go to the sound and respond as quick as possible.

Yes they did! Pushed each other forward, quick searches until threat/sound indicator...located, closed with and stopped.

I agree. They did a great job.

with Nashville, and now Louisville, I saw that officers opened their trunks, pulled out an AR from a soft case, and chambered a round. In either case, I did not see the officers taking spare magazines or mag pouch, and their guns had no spare mag attached to them. Do LEO normally carry rifle mags on their body? Or is it SOP to go search for active shooter with only 1 mag in the rifle?

I can imagine some agencies have SOPs against it, some recommend it but don?t enforce, some officers choose not to for mobility reasons, etc.

I have an outer vest carrier with soft armor and ICW front/rear hard plates. I have everything off of my belt except for pistol, pistol mags, an extra AR mag, and a dump pouch. That?s because I use my duty belt as my range belt when I teach at the range.

I also have an extra AR mag and a 33rd stick in my door if I felt it necessary.

Most of the time, it?s preference or they just don?t think to grab it from their bag in their rush to get to work.

Post 5,
I agree there's much which can be personal preference regarding equipment and what is grabbed or taken in the heat-of-the-moment.

Where I worked, prior to me retiring, external rifle-level-plated body armor was just then becoming issued. Prior to that, this external, heavier body armor might have been personally purchased and not officially sanctioned, but at least, not banned from wearing. If owned, LEOs wouldn't push it and not wear it unless a higher risk event was occurring. However, if a higher risk event was occurring, it could easily be forgotten and left in the car.

In the referenced video in Post 1, the camera is on the LEO who grabbed his AR-rifle and I wouldn't know if or what extra rifle mags might have already been on his person. Another LEO had a shotgun (SBS) and, of course, no rifle mags would've been on his person.

During an active shooter type event, LEOs from different departments and LEOs from different assignments are likely to be responding in a variety of uniforms/non-uniforms/vehicles/equipment.
