Talking Points for Citizen Engagement Meet and Greets with the Chief <br />One goal is to continue to build trust and legitimacy between the Tukwila Police <br />Department and the diverse community it serves. <br />Some of the things we are already doing are: <br />• Soliciting public participation in identifying goals for the police department <br />o Through Community Meetings <br />o Through the Community Oriented Policing Citizens' Advisory Board, <br />(COPCAB) <br />• Training for officers in diffusing conflict <br />o The best way to avoid the use of force <br />• Working to give all TPD officers the opportunities for positive community <br />engagement <br />• All Tukwila Police Officers working in uniform wear and use body cameras <br />during calls and other police work. Tukwila is one of the first departments <br />in the region to fully implement body -worn cameras. <br />• The Tukwila Police Department also now has an active Facebook page. This <br />is a way for the community to see aspects of the department which might <br />not be evident in a routine contact. This is also a way for people to interact <br />with the police department in a manner which works for parts of the <br />community. <br />What else would you like to see from YOUR police department? <br />
