BACKGROUND The training requirements for law enforcement agencies have increased dramatically over time. Agencies must plan, resource and leverage technology to stay abreast of societal challenges that can change; the legal framework, how we respond to critical incidences, how we deal with the mentally ill and how we remain physically and mentally fit while serving in one of the most demanding careers. I want our employees to train hard and work hard and in order to do so, I must provide realistic training that prepares them for the realities they will face daily on the street, in the court room and at home. They must develop a level of resiliency necessary to recover and endure the difficulties of the job that we are charged to perform over the span of our careers. ANALYSIS In designing the training strategy, we prioritized mandatory training versus other important training based on available resources. If resourcing is flexible, legal liability, growth and leadership and additional technical subject -matter training is resourced to ensure efficiency throughout the agency. For now, the mandatory In -Service Training required by the Criminal Justice Training Institute (CJTC) is 24-hours annually. Tukwila Police Department meet and exceed that standard on an annual basis. During a recent communication with the CJTC, the prediction is that the 24-hour requirement will double. Several years ago, the legislature mandated Crisis Intervention Training. The initial training is an 8-hour block followed by annual continuation training which consist of a two-hour online training block. The two-hour on-line continuation training is better than no training at all; however, we believe that training focusing on dealing with the mentally ill should evolve into scenario -based training where officers get the opportunity to practice the content learned in the classroom. While the Criminal Justice Training Commission deliberate on the content and delivery method of the most recent legislature -directed training (De -Escalation Training), Tukwila Police Department saw the eventuality several years ago based on the trends of who we were dealing with on the streets and the likely outcomes. The department resourced a mandatory 8-hour de- 9 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Tukwila Police Department Training Strategy Page 2 escalation training session taught by Dolan Consulting, a nationally respected Law Enforcement Training Group to ensure we were better prepared to serve our citizens. We also feel strongly that this academic training must be integrated into scenario -based training concept. We will accomplish this again in 2019. The department recently added Legal Update Training as an annual necessity. WCIA, our insurance carrier was instrumental and supportive by paying for 50% of the training cost ($4,000) during last -year's iteration of Legal Update Training. The $8,000 training package was taught by Keating Bucklin & McCormick, the attorneys who represent Tukwila and other agencies during civil lawsuit challenges. We found this most beneficial as we professionalize and standardize our training. The new King County Inquest Process Standard for when a citizen dies in police custody (" did the officer(s) involved follow policy and training?") generates new concern for King County law enforcement agencies. More training time must be afforded to ensure a constant review of current policy along with the training associated with new policy. In addition, I believe, that Police Chiefs and their representatives called to testify on behalf of their agencies must become use -of -force subject -matter -experts. Force Science Training will be added to our list for the Chief, Deputy Chief and Commanders. FINANCIAL IMPACT Forecasting, resourcing and planning can only be managed by a long-range calendar. This technique keeps the agency focused on what lays ahead and what is needed to plan and prepare for upcoming training. As we look ahead and based on trends in training, the training budget could essentially double for the agency. .RECOMMENDATION This is the first year that we will expand and integrate recent mandated trainings into scenario - based modules to truly simulate realistic encounters. I truly believe that continuous training of this sort will prepare our officers for encounters they may face on the streets. I will continue to forge ahead and look for your support as the department conducts close financial analysis of the actual costs during the year as we work towards the additional training requirements I have identified.

It's imperative that community leaders and officers understand the challenges to law enforcement wellness and the best practices for addressing them. BACKGROUND Community wellness requires healthy officers. The Tukwila Police Department has implemented a number of internal mental health strategies to maintain a well workforce, including the use of a peer support team, crisis response strategies, a network of professional resources, among other elements. DISCUSSION Presentation on Officer Resiliency and the Police Department efforts in providing training and resources to officers to improve officer wellness. FINANCIAL IMPACT RECOMMENDATION Discussion Only. ATTACHMENTS Resiliency Presentation 1 3 14 PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE TUKWILA POLICE DEPARTMENT Chief of Police Bruce Linton Presentation: Deputy Ch Officer Wellness & Resiliency Comprehensive officer wellness goes beyond physical safety to include emotional and mental health in the workplace, in the field, and at home. It's imperative that community leaders and officers understand the challenges to law enforcement wellness and the best practices for addressing them. "Officer wellness and resiliency are key to positive outcomes for agencies and communities." Thomas E. Coghlan, PsyD In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation which designated May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day and the week in which that date falls as Police Week. Law Enforcement across the nation will honor the week and day of memorial in remembrance of the many officers that have died in the line of duty. Law enforcement agencies are shaken to the core with the death of one of their own. The response is even more complex when that death comes at the officer's own hand. The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) has long recognized there is an urgent and ongoing need for leadership on the issue of employee suicide prevention and awareness. Therefore, under the direction of Chief Bruce Linton, the Tukwila Police Department is leading the region in providing training and resources to its officers related to Officer Wellness and Resiliency. Police Department Wellness and Resiliency Programs: • Peer Support Team and Counselors • Voluntary Officer Counseling Session with Law Enforcement Specialist • City Employee Assistance Program • Resiliency Pilot Training and Mobile App - mRES 2 16 Peer Support Team and Counselors In March, 2018 Chief Linton authorized the formation of the Tukwila Police Department's Peer Support Team. The Department's Peer Support Team (PST) consists of Department members that have been trained as peer counselors. Peer support counseling sessions are private and confidential, and protected under law (RCW 5.60.060). PST members have the same legal confidentiality privileges as a mental health care professional. An employee may contact a PST member at any time for individual counseling. The peer support team will also coordinate Critical Incident Stress Debriefings as necessary. Voluntary Officer Counseling Session with Law Enforcement Specialist The Department is creating a program where a Mental Health professional, who specializes in addressing the unique needs of law enforcement, will be made available to officers on a voluntary basis. The program is being explored to overcome any stigma that may be associated with seeking therapy or other counseling. City Employee Assistance Program City sponsored Employee Assistance Program through Wellspring EAP Family Services. Use is Confidential. 3 17 Resiliency Pilot Training and Mobile App - mRES With the assistance of the Peer Support Team, and in cooperation with resiliency experts from TIAG, the Police Department will be piloting a new mobile app (mRES) customized to the Tukwila Police Department's needs for providing resources that support Officer Wellness and Resiliency. Tukwila is the first police department to participate in the study and design of mRES. Our participation will lead to better wellness and resiliency for law enforcement across the nation. Training on the mobile app and the associated study are already underway. Once the study is complete, the data collected will be used to refine the mobile app and provide the resource to all Department Members. The mRES MOBILE APP - A customizable toolkit available 24/7 in responders' back pocket - Direct and confidential access to department peer support team - Self -regulation tools to improve the stress response - Goal -setting to build attainable Achievements - Easy access to department, local and national resources 3:281 . mites If you want to live a long fife, focus on making contributions Peer,..Support .":"'""-1.'•'••.•:',.:.•••••••:.:•-•,..:—. • I • • Soun QuotQuotes 1. 18 4 The Tukwila Police Department's Wellness and Resiliency program is growing by leaps and bounds. As we move forward with being proactive to meet the needs of our Officers' health, the Chief has volunteered department members to work with a regional team of law enforcement subject matter experts in order to focus on officer wellbeing and share information on a grander scale. 5 19 20 ILA TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: City of Tukwila INFOR ATIONAL E ORANDU Public Safety Committee Laurel Humphrey, Council Analyst May 1, 2019 Public Safety Committee Data Requests Allan Ekberg, Mayor DISCUSSION The Committee has discussed a desire to review enhanced statistical data on public safety services in Tukwila.
