Yard nearly two years ago. As Scott Mcfarland reports, coordination was smoother this time around. Two years ago after the Navy Yard Shooting, cc police said there were too many vehicles on the scene, is that it was so crowded officers struggled to move around the area and navigate the building and Many Police Agencies on the scene were on the same page. Two years later, the mayor said Police Worked well together. Im very proud of all of the officials that answered the call. We know that there have been a lot of Lessons Learned from previous incidents. But why did so Many Police Agencies respond to what amounted to a false alarm .
