Orem Police Department: Harpole's Account of the Rooftop Gap

Showing 7 Orem Police Department videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.

Orem Police Department's coverage centered on the security arrangements surrounding Kirk's September 10th event, where security chief Brian Harpole later told Shawn Ryan that his team had received assurances the rooftop above the venue was covered, specifically citing university police Chief Long's statement that the position had been secured, only for the coverage to prove insufficient. Harpole's account, delivered in his first extended public interview roughly two months after the shooting, addressed why drones and additional sniper positions requested for the event were denied, while acknowledging he remained bound by a nondisclosure agreement covering certain unrelated incidents.

Other coverage here extended into Candace Owens's parallel financial and forensic investigation, including her account of Kirk establishing an internal audit team just a week before his death and her attempt to debunk a viral video theory claiming he had been shot from behind. A security chief's firsthand account of specific operational failures, and a separate investigator's broader financial and ballistics claims, give coverage of the department both a procedural security dimension and a more speculative evidentiary one, sitting at the intersection of straightforward operational failure and the far larger conspiracy narrative built on top of it.
