The chosen case for this study is “The Flawed Emergency Response to the 1992 Los Angeles Riots”. I chose this case study because emergency responses aren’t always executed in the smoothest way and I say that based on a situation that happened recently. There was a school shooting in Uvalde, Texas and a lot of people, including the Chief of the Department said the response was flawed. The fulfillment of an emergency response is up to the capacity of an individual or element to answer what is the situations requirements and needs are, as they change quickly.
The case study was also selected in light of the fact that it investigates how the absence of assets and funding from the bureaucratic and state government sabotaged the capacity of the National Guard to successfully plan for civil unsettling influences. It is revealed that the response team of troops was halved from 10,000 to 5,000. A lot of those officers were not properly trained on civil disturbances. This is also something that is still alive today when it comes to the response of the riots in America.
One notable issue in this case study with leadership was the moving of the equipment. All of the equipment was organized and set in one location, Camp Roberts. This required everyone to have an extra task in the response process, that could’ve been avoided to save time if it was thought out smarter. Leadership called for delivery, but it still wasn’t a seamless process. Some of the equipment was even expired, so it couldn’t’ even be used in the riots. If the equipment was still closer to their person, I feel it could have been regularly monitored, so the expired things wouldn’t have been in the pile still. Even decisions of tradeoffs had to be made because not everything would fit onto the helicopter.
