[Pelletier has served the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department for the past 22 years in numerous capacities. He oversaw the K-9 and SWAT units and served as commander of the Convention Center Area Command, which is responsible for the Las Vegas “strip.”
In 2017, Pelletier notably served as the incident commander for the One October mass casualty event in Las Vegas. His Deputy Chief selection, Hank, was also part of the command for the incident and provided after-action presentations across the country on preventing, responding to, and mitigating similar active shooter events.]
Sometimes during critical incidents, such as a mass shooting, particularly one that happens at night, there is not a high ranking officer on duty. Therefore the highest rank on duty at the time takes over and sets everything up (the role of commander in this instance) and serves as the "acting commander" until relieved, if deemed necessary. So he may not have reached the rank of commander, but he filled the role in the time of need.
Is there proof or sauce for anything that you’re claiming here or are you just speculating/shilling?

I'm not familiar with this dude's history in particular, but I personally have experience with a large LE agency, and that's how things are done. It looks like he never made the rank of commander but was the acting commander of the Vegas shooting. It's also the cause of many pissing matches when the fire chief shows up to an arson, or when the FBI/ATF/USMS show up to something major because they don't want to deal with the shift lieutenant in charge, they want the Sheriff or Police Chief.
He was a Captain, not a Commander. Captain is 4 ranks under a Commander.
Now why would someone make something like this up?
What are the odds that this is a lie?
Wait is the article incorrect?
