† David Wilcock: Emergency Responder Audio

640 and 528, can you break and cover on an unknown issue at 1455 Ridge Road? ^{(02) “Break and cover” is a common dispatch phrase instructing officers to move into a tactical position and prepare to respond to a developing situation.}

There’s a party by the name of David Wilcock at 1455 Ridge Road. ^{(03) His house for sale: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1455-Ridge-Rd-Nederland-CO-80466/13194354_zpid/}

He said, “I need to leave. I will be off to the left.”

Will not advise if he’s armed or not, and will not say if he’s going to harm himself or not. Being very vague.

528, copy, what’s the history there? ^{(04) Copy = “Understood”}

Fire alarms and animal complaints.
(This is likely from a separate police operation/call using the channel at the same time – I thought it was related when I downloaded this section because of his YouTube stalkers sending the police to his house over his dog.)

640 and 528, he’s a 53-year-old male. Type 1 diabetic. He said he’s run out of money.

10:48.

528 arrival.

640, Law 2. ^{(05) Law 1 & Law 2 = Radio channels (Law 1 = dispatch, Law 2 = tactical channel)}

Yeah, I’m just staged at Ridge Road currently. How far out are you? ^{(06) Staged = Waiting in a safe position}

Approximately 5 minutes. ^{(07)The first deputy arrived at 10:53 AM and waited. A second arrived at 11:01 AM. Only then did they drive toward the residence. From David’s viewpoint, he would’ve seen two deputies getting out of their vehicles and taking cover. Did he … Click for full citation}

Alright, looking at Google Maps, it’s a long driveway. ^{(08) Google Maps – 1455 Ridge Rd, Nederland, CO https://maps.app.goo.gl/Chuge2FvHA6LivzD6}

Copy.

And we have Fire staged down below? ^{(09) Fire staging = Fire/EMS etc. waiting in a nearby position (staging area)}

They’re staged somewhere. They’re not where I’m at. ^{(10) Staging Area = A safe location where emergency units wait for assignment}

528, are you still on the phone with the RP? ^{(11) RP = Reporting Party (the 911 caller) presumably David}

Affirm, 640 and 528. Party said, “Sorry,” and then disconnected. ^{(12) Party = The subject or person involved in the incident}

Copy, we’re on the house.

And just information: Data found ‘No criminal’.

All traffic. Hold all traffic. He’s got a gun.

Copy, there’s Code 3 on County Law at 11:04. ^{(13) Code 3 = Lights & Sirens Emergency Response}

Shot fired.

Copy, shots fired, and all other traffic can go Law 2.

All other traffic, Law 2.

Code 3 continues.

4-0, I’ve got the rifle. He still got the gun to his head. Looks like he fired a test round.

Copy, gun to his head. Fired a test round at 11:05.

Does 528 need us out there?

I’ll just start you for now.

516, did you copy?

794, an animal complaint. 794, animal complaint. 794, copy. (This is likely from a separate police operation/call using the channel at the same time)

11:05.

587, en-route as well.

Copy, and 516, did you copy?

717, I’ll check on the Eagle as well. ^{(14) Eagle in this case, is a type of drone}

Go ahead.

Let me get a couple more units with a shield.

Male, looks like he shot himself in the head. I’m still concerned about this house.

Copy.

[?] en route.

Copy, 587 has a shield.

Party possibly did shoot himself in the head.

4074 status[?]

627, I’m breaking en route. ^{(15) Breaking en route = “I am now actively responding to the call and travelling to the location” (essentially shorthand for: “I am breaking away from whatever I was doing previously, and I am now en route to the incident.”)}

Affirm.

Copy, 627 is en route. And all units, lock and go to Law 2. Code 3 will continue on County law.

474, did you copy our Code 4? ^{(16) Code 4 = Situation under control / no further assistance needed}

I got you now.

11:06, break. ^{(17) Break = Interrupt, i.e. “I have something to say” (Used to get attention or indicate a priority transmission)}

[inaudible].

407, we got you clear at 11:07.

For the next two units, respond to emergency. We’re going to form a contact team, move on up to the subject, secure the gun, check vital, break. We’ll also need to hold off on the house and clear it. ^{(18) Contact Team = Team that approaches the subject}

Break.

Did you already move everybody to Law 2?

Affirm, we can keep this here and we’ve got three units setting up, emergent, one with a shield. ^{(19) Emergent = Responding urgently, with lights & sirens, prioritizing speed over traffic laws (20) Non-Emergent = Responding normally, without lights/sirens, following traffic laws}

Copy.

I think… Do you have the dispatchers for us to move this to Law 2?

I’ll move this to Law 2 and regular traffic back to law.

516, I copy all that and I am emergent from Lyons and I’ll be over on Law 2.

Copy. All units, we’re going to move this operation to Law 2. All normal traffic can resume on county law.

11:08.

Units on Law 2. Normal traffic resuming on county law, they’re going to move the incident to Law 2.

587, I’m en-route emergent with a shield.

11:08, 627. Just acknowledging I’m on this channel.

516, who all do we have going up?

574, 587 with a shield, 627 and yourself.

Okay, that should be enough resources unless 528, who’s closer, can confirm he needs more.

What we’ve got coming up?

We’ve got four total including Sergeant.

Copy, that should be good. We’ll need three for the subject and then the rest to cover off in the house and do a protective sweep. ^{(21) Protective sweep = Quick search for threats}

Copy.

King, 571. King, 571. Can you please move me to General for the time being? ^{(22) Likely asking the dispatcher to switch him to a secondary, non-emergency radio channel, to free up the emergency channel and do lower-priority tasks – running licence plates, checking records, finding phone numbers, etc.}

[inaudible].

528, 508. Do you need me or any resources from myself or are you good?

If you’ve got anybody with a drone, just to try and look in these windows.

Let’s go ahead, DRT[?] and drone. ^{(23) DRT (Detention Response Team) = Specialized team for high-risk arrests/detainment}

Can you also help me just keep an eye on the flats? Keep an ear on the radio, please.

516, 532.

Okay.

Hey, me and 2 Techs[?] CSI are enroute from HQ about ETA an hour. I can coordinate a coroner and whatnot from down here. But we’ll be around shortly.

Okay, perfect, thank you.

532, that’s you and which other unit?

532, it’ll be 542. I’ll get to the other radio numbers here momentarily.

Copy.

516, King, 5712.

Go ahead.

I moved to General, just apply.

If you can move to a position where you can cover the 1/4 corner of the detached garage and along the 4 side of the house with that side patio.

Copy, 1/4 side of house and detached garage. I’m going to be moving to my right a little bit.

Do you guys have any discretionary time? Could you give me an update on what’s going on?

[?] When we showed up after caller saying, basically goodbye. I told him to drop it and he shot himself in the head.

Copy that.

Just coming into camp.

528, 516, any reason to believe there’s anybody else in the house?

No, but I don’t want to risk it.

Yeah, I totally agree. I just wanted to make sure we didn’t have any active stimulus to need to go in quickly. ^{(24) Stimulus = Police jargon for visible activity, movement, or threat}

Negative, no stimulus.

528, 640, I have the 1/4 corner to the back of the detached garage and part of the back of the house.

Break.

Good. You have two windows and a door on the side.

Copy. Let me know if you get any movement.

And for all units responding, the male is outside in front of the house on the east side, the 1/2 corner, so that’ll be the southeast corner of the residence.

Break.

Male made moderately suicidal statements to dispatch. When I arrived on scene, he had a gun to his head. He fired off a round. I don’t know where he fired it at. Told him to drop it, and then he shot himself in the head.

Break. Go ahead.

Just come straight into the scene. We’re going to get a contact team of a shield, rifle, and hand, and a team to hold on the house, and we’re going to do a protective sweep of the house.

Break.

We have no stimulus indicating there’s somebody else inside. There’s no visible cars on the property, but I’m not going to risk it. It’s a fairly large house, and we’re not sure what we may be dealing with inside.

516 Copy that. Thank you.

522 Copy that. That is good. And the coroner’s been notified. I told him to meet us at the house.

Copy.

11:18.

508 Passing, Magnolia.

Copy. Niko, as soon as you get up on scene, stay behind the patrol car with its lights on, launch the drone, and let’s get a 360, starting from the subject, and then working our way around the house.

Copy that.

11:18.

587 I’m passing, Sugarloaf. I’ll come straight through with the shield.

Copy.

This is DM. I have a Beth Hayes or Beth Wilcock, who also likely lives at that address. I have her contact information if anybody wants it. ^{(25)Not 100% certain, but DM could be ‘Data Master operator’ like an evidence technician or some form of support or evidence unit tasked with running background information or managing logistical details like contact numbers while patrol … Click for full citation}

Copy. Are you able to put that in the CAD call? ^{(26) CAD call = Computer-Aided Dispatch}

I think I can do that. Hang on.

[?]870. You can keep 90 in service. The bird flew away. It’ll be clearing in a second.

640 How you doing?
Great, County, I’m just holding two phone calls. One, District 5 on a theft, and District 4 on a fraud.
Four, zero. No movement. And all I got is there’s people apparently working behind me.
There’s people behind you? Construction equipment and yelling. It’s probably 200-300 yards away from behind me.
773 I’m clear. You can give one of those to me.
(likely from a different call-out)

508 Open it out. I’ll put out the interior drone to do exterior and interior for you.

Thanks.

Now, for the next incoming unit, if they’re able to come up to the patrol car with its lights on and then brake left on the two-track, that goes around the one-two side of the house to the two-side, the two-side is the south-side. Break.

That we can get better visual on the subject and the windows on the two-side, got a south-facing deck, two-story on the two-side.

Copy. Next incoming, go to patrol vehicle, brake left, and go to the one-two-side or the south-side.

If I could, I believe that’s me. Do you want me to go that way or come to you with the shield?

Copy. I just turned up here at Hurricane Hill.

If we can possibly get the civilian rider to a safer location. I believe she’s currently behind my vehicle.

Copy. What’s 574’s location?

514 Did you copy that? [crosstalk] 574 I’m almost at Hurricane Hill.

516 I did.

Five-one-six. Did you want me to pass it to 532 since you might still be down here?

That would be better. Thank you.

Your welcome. 532?

I’m heading up the canyon, so I can make a call at the top or I can stand-by for a little bit.

11:33.

Actually, let’s just hold off on that for now until we can get in control of the situation and make sure that no one else is inside.

Copy. Holding off on phone call for now at 11:34.

Ten-four. ^{(27) 10-4 = “Acknowledged”}

I’m arrival.

587 arrival.

Other than 516, what other units are still en route?

We have 532 heading up as well.

587 can’t get around in my vehicle.

587 is unable to get around in her vehicle at 11:36.

All right, for all units, we’re going to let the drone do the first scout and then we’re going to approach the subject, get the gun away from him, and check vitals. And we’re going to cover off on the house.

Charles Young, Queen Union 9-1, Elizabeth and Emma. ^{(28) NFI}

Eagle One is switching to exterior drone first. ^{(29) Eagle One = Drone call sign}

528, Eagle One’s asking what you’d like him to check.

Start with the subject. Let’s see where the gun’s at. And then we’re looking around the exterior, first and second story, looking for open doors or windows.

567, the firearms on the ground, to his right.

Copy. Guns’ on the ground, to his right.

528 for all units. The co-responder has called wife. Wife answered and then continuously hangs up. And co-responder did send a text message. So we’re not sure, a wife may be in play. ^{(30) Co-Responder = Mental health professional paired with police for crisis calls}

516 copy. I’m just coming up Hurricane Hill. You said get to the top and hang a right on Ridge?

Right on Ridge and then it’s marked by like a two by two post. It’s a hard left and the driveway dog-legs around for like a half mile.

Copy that, right on Ridge, hard left.

528, Eagle One. Can’t see inside the window. Some of the blinds are closed on the one-two and the three-side. I have the interior ready. If you want to move up, I can provide cover.

Copy. 516 is a minute out. So we’ll just wait for one more body.

[inaudible].

11:44.

508, if you have a free moment, are you able to stage your vehicle facing out as an ambulance or rescue vehicle if we need it?

[inaudible] out and it’s good to go.

528, I’m coming up the driveway. Do you need a rifle?

I think we’ll be good. I’ve got one rifle and then 640 on the one-four’s got another one. Okay, and do you need any additional shields? I got two of them.

If you’ve got one, let’s bring it up to my car, which is right up front and we’ll just leave it at the back trunk.

Copy. And this drive, dead-ends basically at this property, right?

Correct.

Okay, I’m coming through the gate now.

516, pull over to your left right there.

DM, 528, are you still on the air?

Affirm.

Let’s see if you can dig up any other family or any other possible residents.

Fifteen-ninety, do you want to attach[?] to it?

Not at this point, but I’ll keep trying the phone number.

I’ll let him [?] it.

What kind of vehicle? Grey Toyota Highlander and an unknown color Range Rover.

Copy.

Break. Just so you know, the number provided to the correspondent is not the correct number, by the way.

528 copy, thanks.

DM is so he can put me in touch with the co-responder, I can get her other numbers.

You can just air it and she’ll get it that way, probably.

Got myself and 542 are about ten out, if you want to hold off on calling the wife, I’ll have 542 do it when we get there.

Copy.

DM and Ashley, did you get that direct?

We got it.

Copy.

All units, hold traffic. We’re going to approach with contact one. Contact one is going to be Frayne, Krist, Rogers, Webber and Cox. France is going to hold on the one side at my vehicle. 508 is going to have the drone and 640 is going to be perimeter on the one-four corner. Anybody not ready?

508 is going to go with the exterior drone right now. Interior is being a little finnicky.

Copy. Do you want us to wait for that drone to go up?

Give me one minute, let me double check this. Eagle one is ready. We’ll go with interior drone right now.

Copy. Contact one is moving.

We’re going to go exterior.

Niko, if you can just stay on the second story and watch that deck for us.

Copy that.

France, we’re going to have you transition to keeping eyes on the subject. We’re going to go check the rest of the house.

528, would you like me to join you? As a person.

532 and 542 arrival.

Copy.

11:55.

Okay, I got no stimulus from what I can see through the front door, into the kitchen and living room area. There’s nothing moving.

Copy, we’re inside.

Okay, I’m just going to hold on outside by the front door.

Do you need another body up? You want me to come back in?

We’re good, hold what you got.

427, 424 on a possible structure fire.

I think they’re heading downstairs now. Upstairs, primaries are done. I’m just going to hold on this outbuilding garage.

None that I can see. There seems to be a door on the side that is facing the one side of the house.

Okay, that’s kind of what I thought.

I got a door and a window.

Eagle One, will check.

*** And we got a note here on the table. ***

516, copy?

532 Are you still on the channel, copying all this?

Any further with 508?

Primaries and secondaries complete. We’re coming out. One side.

Copy.

We’re working the detached garage. It’s got an attic we’re checking.

It needs to get recalibrated. If you need another hand, I can come to you physically.

Copy, we’re doing it with a body camera, and so far it seems like it’s working. All right, we’re all clear in the attic. Primaries and secondaries complete of the detached garage in the main structure. It’s for 532.

Copy, primary and secondary complete on the garage.

528.

Five-two-eight.

We can clear Fire with our thanks. Detectives will still be using Law 2. We will no longer need a dispatcher.

Copy, no dispatcher needed on Law 2, but still being used for the incident at 12:12.

All units of the Code 3 on Law 2 remains. All normal traffic can resume on County Law 12:12.

528 We won’t be using Law 2 for this incident anymore. If detectives need anything, it’ll be on 1.
