rdalert447 Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 “The Rapid Response Team is a group of volunteer officers who respond to civil disobedience, demonstrations and riots. ” Will need some clarification on this info. Did they resign from a volunteer job? Or was it a voluntary assignment for paid police officers? If they were Auxilliary-type officers that were doing that shit for free, chances are they are lunatics. The lunatic-to-sane ratio of the NYPD Auxiliary Police is like 85% to 15%.

I think they volunteer to be part of the quick reaction force to be called out to respond if needed. Presumably now if there's a riot or other emergency requiring an increased response they would have to use on duty officers who also do not have the same training as the RRT.

If they were Auxilliary-type officers that were doing that shit for free, chances are they are lunatics. The lunatic-to-sane ratio of the NYPD Auxiliary Police is like 85% to 15%. In a news release, the Portland Police Bureau described the team as "an all-hazard incident response team that has received advanced specialized training to respond to incidents requiring higher levels of technical expertise including public order policing, natural or man-made disasters." "The primary role has been to provide public safety at crowd events when there was a threat of harm to the community," the bureau added. Now with the entire rapid response team disbanded, it is not clear how the city will manage demonstrations planned for the coming weekend. "Now that the riot team is no more, we have no clue what's going to happen. We don't have enough patrol officers to be pulled from the road to handle huge crowds," a Portland police officer told the Post Millennial. "We are only backups with no gear like the riot team has."
