Jeff Long: A Documented Rooftop Warning That Went Unactioned

Showing 7 Jeff Long videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.

Jeff Long, the UVU police chief, became central to disputes over the event's security planning after Brian Harpole told Shawn Ryan he had texted Long two days before the shooting specifically warning about unsecured rooftop access, receiving the reply I got you covered, a response that did not translate into an officer being assigned to the position. Officer Christopher Bagley's own preliminary hearing testimony, examined separately by Loren Piretra, raised additional questions about evidence handling under Long's department, including a body camera that reportedly stopped recording at the exact moment Bagley reached the suspected sniper position.

Other coverage here extended into Rudy Bautista's records requests documenting gaps in surveillance footage of the case more broadly, situating Long's department within a wider pattern of contested evidence preservation that multiple independent investigators have flagged. A specific, documented pre-event warning that went unactioned, and separate concerns about evidence handling afterward, give coverage of Long a consistent throughline of security-planning accountability distinct from the more purely speculative material found elsewhere, anchored in his own department's documented communications rather than anonymous tips.
