STATEMENT OF PROBLEM <br /> King County and municipalities within the Puget Sound area have experienced <br /> periodic large -scale civil disturbances. These disturbances manifest themselves in <br /> the form of civil disobedience, unlawful passive and active demonstrations, as well <br /> as riots. Mass arrest situations are likely to result from the aforementioned <br /> disturbances. Participants in this unlawful activity, or the tactics they employ will <br /> usually out stretch the resources of any one single agency to effectively and <br /> efficiently handle the situation. <br /> Law enforcement efforts directed at dealing with these types of civil disturbances <br /> have, for the most part, been conducted by law enforcement agencies working <br /> independently. A multi jurisdictional effort to handle acts of civil disobedience, <br /> passive and active demonstrations, as well as riots will result in more effective <br /> pooling of personnel, improved utilization of municipal funds, reduced duplication of <br /> equipment, improved training, development of specialized expertise, and increased <br /> utilization /application of a combined civil disturbance unit. The results will be <br /> 07t <br /> VALLEY CIVIL DISTURBANCE UNIT 1 <br /> INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT 2009 <br />
