Your screwup is not knowing the 911 system is part of the police department.
Actually, it appears linked to fire and rescue:
https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/mcfrs/about/ecc.html
Now link the page that show it under the police department.
It is literally called the Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services (MCFRS) Emergency Communications Center. The link provides the description.

There are more guns in the US than people. MCPS cannot prevent all shootings, regardless of how much we'd like to change things.
MCPS needs to train for when they do happen.
Metal detectors work.

The report is very clear that the VICTIM is always responsible to immediately making ID of perpetrator and showing police where perpetrator is hiding. It's all on the victim. If they don't handle it appropriately, no one else is responsible for anything.
