3. One cop was in field training and one had finished his training a couple days before.

Superior officers go through a 17- to 19-week state academy program followed by 16 weeks in the department’s field training program. Taylor had finished his field training and started working solo two days before Cuypers’ arrest, Winterscheidt said. Moen was in training with Gaard, a field training officer, when they responded.

The chief said training is something the department has invested in heavily. He has full confidence in the department's officers.

“I support the work that they do, and they do a good job,” Winterscheidt said.

You can hear one of the cops at one point correct others about giving commands at the same time -- but by that time it was way too little, way too late.
