On the night of October 1, 2017 Chief Haydu was the Duty Officer and PIO for the department. When he received the initial page at 2216 for a shooting on the South Las Vegas reporting 20 victims, he had no way of knowing what was in store for him or the department.

Upon arrival Chief Haydu was initially assigned to Operations and then to Deputy Incident Commander. Spend a couple hours with Chief Haydu and get an inside look at the details of the event.
