When is the public going to learn the real reason that NIXLE was not used to alert the public to the escape of James Henson from Deputy Fringer's squad car?
If the public listened to the radio transmission when the deputy reported that Henson had kicked out a squad car window and climbed through, what would they hear? A calm, professional voice reporting the facts and the action being taken to prevent his escape?
NIXLE should have been used immediately to alert residents in the immediate area of the escape. As time passed and the opportunity for Henson to move farther from the point of escape, additional NIXLE messages should have been broadcast.
Reverse 9-1-1 calls did go out to alert some Crystal Lake residents. Was this a planned step taken at MCSD? Was the "Reverse 9-1-1" procedure put into operation automatically or was command authority required?
Was anyone unhappy at MCSD that the Reverse 9-1-1 system was used to alert residents?
The NIXLE system should have been used to send emails and text messages to residents. Of course, then a LOT of people would have known about Henson's escape. And they would have been able to act to protect themselves, if needed.
And maybe even someone driving around in the area might have spotted Henson and reported him a lot sooner.
What did it cost McHenry County Sheriff's Department and the Crystal Lake Police Department to conduct an all-night search for Henson?
And how did he get his handcuffs off?
And why isn't MCSD coming clean with the public about what broke down that night? "CYA" comes to mind.
