Skip the academics; call the cops!

Today's big story regarding the Aurora massacre is that the psychiatrist who was treating James Holmes became so concerned about his behavior that she brought her concerns before the campus-wide threat-assessment team in June. I want to know if the threat-assessment team includes law enforcement personnel. If not, why not?

Oops, I just read The Denver Post story on the subject, and it includes this sentence: "the group does not include CU-Denver police." Again, why not?  The Post says "the group is an ad hoc group of high level academic employees skilled at assessing potential threats on campus." For my money, skip the academics, and call the cops!
