The pronoun is apparently "they." You need to pay attention to these details.

That jumped out at me as well had to read it 3 times, I thought is there more than one or are they just trying to avoid using a pronoun?

English lit is a lost art.

“are they just trying to avoid using a pronoun?”

I think they want to avoid giving out any information on the officer, even their sex, because internet sleuths were able to identify the Capitol Police officer who shot Ashley Babbitt despite their best attempts to keep that a secret, and they are scared of accountability to the public they are supposed to serve.
