This Menu of Options provides specific strategies tied to specific points of contact. The KCPCA has agreed to adopt the Statement of Values and to conduct annual Biased Policing Prevention training. The KCPCA recognized that not all the options would be a good fit for every community, so each Chief and the Sheriff can choose the resources that best fit the needs of their particular community. 1. POLICY a) Adopt a Statement of Values for all members of the King County Police Chiefs' Association. This Statement of Values highlights our commitment as Law Enforcement leaders to ensure all members of our communities are treated with equity and respect. "The Sheriff and Police Chiefs in King County place a high value on creating a culture within our respective departments wherein everyone shares the common values of community trust, mutual respect, and protection of everyone's civil rights. We live out our values by ensuring adequate training, leading by example, and holding our personnel accountable." b) Adopt the Justice Based Policing model Sue Rahr Dave Bales c) Collect and analyze statistics relating to arrests, citations, and race.

Connect with Worksourse for potential candidates (Chelsea Baylen) Encourage candidates to attend interviewing classes (Chelsea Baylen) Ensure our background investigators are clear on our expectations. Disqualifiers — we should revisit automatic disqualifiers (e.g. should minimal marijuana use and old records of reckless driving be automatic disqualifiers? Ensure that we are taking into account the context in which candidates made their mistakes, so as to avoid screening out potentially great candidates. If we continue with automatic disqualifiers, make sure they are clearly stated on promotional materials b) Messaging — our recruiting efforts must include an emphasis on the fact that police work is very meaningful and honorable.
