And, there were officers already inside (or close) to the hotel. Did they wait for the makeshift squad??
Some police officers had already been inside the Mandalay Bay building responding to another, unrelated call when the attack happened, Roberts said."

An officer reported he was on the 31st floor a couple minutes after the the shooting begin and that the shooter was on the 32nd. The Mandalay Bay security officer informed MB security that he had been shot. That office sent it's own armed security team and informed the police. It seems likely they would tell the police at the hotel and those officers were already responding when the shooter opened fire on the concert.
That would also explain why we don't hear the dispatcher call for officers to respond to the security guard being shot. Officers on the scene were already responding.
