Ashton Packe, who helped respond to the Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting in October 2017, revealed what he carries in his bag to stay prepared during the most unexpected of events.
Retired LVMPD and Hope for Prisoners Executive Director of Law Enforcement Engagement Ashton Packe at CrimeCon 2022."You never know who might try to grab you and take you out, but I don't think the average everyday citizen has to worry about those things," he said."But a medical kit and a tourniquet and a way to stop a sucking chest wound was very, very important."
He recalled a display of heroism on the day of the Harvest Festival shooting that left 58 people dead and more than 800 injured after Stephen Paddock opened fire on concertgoers from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel before killing himself. Concertgoers rush to save a victim at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival at the Las Vegas Village on October 1, 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Packe also believes the key to ensuring a strong police department with positive community ties is having a good"culture." "Not everyone is perfect. We know. We train them. We say, ‘Police will make mistakes.’ You just have to know when you made the mistake and then correct it. You know, we don't expect you to be perfect. …As you're doing it for the best intentions and you have a good hear, I think, you know, your police career will be fine," the retired officer said.
