The Broward County Sheriff’s Office has identified to Fox News the captain who, according to sources, directed responding deputies and units to “stage” or form a “perimeter” outside Stoneman Douglas High School, instead of rushing immediately into the building, as the mass shooting unfolded there.
Multiple law enforcement and official sources said the commands in the initial moments after Nikolas Cruz allegedly opened fire would go against all training which instructs first responders to “go, go, go” until the shooter is neutralized. As law enforcement arrived, the shooter’s identity and exact location were still unknown.
Multiple sources told Fox News that Captain Jan Jordan was the commanding officer on scene. In an email responding to Fox News’ request for information, a BSO spokesperson wrote, “Capt. Jordan’s radio call sign is 17S1.”
The massacre on February 14 killed 17 people and wounded 16 others.
Sources told Fox News it was Jordan giving the commands because they were recorded on the dispatch logs coming from Jordan’s radio insignia 17S1, or “Seventeen Sierra One.”

BSO also did not respond to Fox News’ initial request for comment about Jordan’s alleged commands to “stage” outside, setting up an area to keep first responders safe before police secure a violent scene. Multiple law enforcement sources said that command also would have been detrimental to victims inside the building because it would have stalled officers.

This is first time I saw this.
You must be living a charmed life if redundant postings are the worst you have to worry about.

He was out of the building before she gave the command. The more information released, the more it becomes clear that this case is taking the “hands up, don’t shoot” route of activists setting the narrative, then the media ignoring the facts.
The radio traffic from the first 14 minutes of the incident has now been released. We know the shooter left the building roughly six minutes after the shooting started. The captain can be heard on the radio traffic three minutes later giving the order to set up a perimeter, at the time it sounds like she’s still in route. She didn’t tell anyone to stand down, and in fact two teams entered one of the buildings 30 seconds later. By that point, a Coral Springs team had also entered the building where the shots had been fired. A team of four deputies entered that building four minutes later.
The radio traffic also pretty much refutes the claim that there were four deputies “hiding behind their cars while kids were being killed”. Only a few of them had arrived at that point, and none of them knew exactly where the shots were coming from. They had victims scattered around outside, and bullet holes in the windows of the building. When they finally got definitive information on which building the injured were in, in the form of the one and only 911 call they got from inside, they went in within 15 seconds.
