Dear Mayor Mullet:

David W. Haynes, Chief of Police
Steven M. Mullet, Mayor
I am pleased to present the Tukwila Police Department 2004 Annual Report to you and
our community. In this report you will find photos and descriptions of our work this
past year.
The year 2004 brought with it a great deal of challenge, change and achievement. Chief
Keith Haines retired during the month of October and this required the appointment of
provisional assignments all across the agency. Five officers resigned and moved onto other
agencies and this required the movement of officers from specialty assignments to backfill
Patrol. Also during the year our department was able to raise more donations for Special
Olympics ($53,000+) than any other agency in Washington State. We also hired outstanding
new employees during the year to fill some of our vacancies. The year 2004 was, overall,
successful due to the quality of all our employees.
You and our community can be proud of your police department. The men and women
of Tukwila P.D. do their best every day to provide quality service to Tukwila.
Thank you for your continuing support of our agency.
Sincerely,
Ails)

The Investigations Division is comprised of a Lieutenant, overseeing the Major
Crimes Unit, the TAC Team, Crime Prevention and the School Resource Officer.
Each of these units face a unique set of challenges, and has contributed to
the overall success in reducing crime in Tukwila.
Major Crimes Unit
The Major Crimes Unit is comprised of one Sergeant, eight Detectives and
a Domestic Violence Advocate. The unit is responsible for follow-up on all
serious criminal offenses and many domestic violence cases. Investigative
assignments are based on workload priorities, solvability factors and
community -targeted criminal behavior, such as monitoring our registered
sex offenders. During 2004 Major Crimes detectives were assigned 788
felony cases and filed or closed 809 cases.
Investigative Highlights
In addition to the 788 cases mentioned above, detectives cleared, by arrest
and conviction, two homicides and a jewelry store armed robbery case
with approximately $500,000 worth of merchandise taken. In addition to
arrest and conviction of that offender, $250,000 of merchandise was
recovered. Detectives also cleared by arrest and conviction a
rape/kidnapping/robbery case and a case where the offender was preying
on elderly women between the ages of 77 and 90. Thirty separate cases
were made against that offender.

Tukwila Anti -Crime Team
The Tukwila Anti -Crime Team or TAC Team for short, is comprised of one Sergeant,
three Detectives, our School Resource Officer and one bicycle officer. This team's
primary responsibility is for the investigation of narcotic and vice crimes within the City
of Tukwila. Other assignments include gambling compliance inspections and adult
entertainment compliance investigations. These types of crimes necessitate a proactive
approach, often requiring the detective to initiate contact with a suspect. This unit is
also responsible for follow-up investigations and case filings for those narcotic cases
referred from patrol.
In addition to their regular assignments listed above, detectives from the TAC Team participated in
a South King County multi -jurisdictional emphasis created with the intent of focusing on street level
narcotics crimes. This three-month assignment concluded on October 15, 2004. Participants in
this emphasis included DEA's Mobile Enforcement Team and detectives from Tukwila Police
Department, Sea -Tac Police Department, Des Moines Police Department and the King County
Sheriffs office.
During the three-month program, the team arrested 150 offenders. They also seized 15 vehicles
and $18,000 in cash. The narcotics seized included powder cocaine, crack cocaine, marijuana,
heroin and methamphetamine. Of the 150 arrests, 40% were from the Tukwila area.

2004 marked another successful year for our D.A.R.E. program. In March,
approximately 225 students graduated from a total of 9 classes. Our communities'
commitment to this program provides our students with the knowledge needed
to make correct decisions for their future.
Our three D.A.R.E. Officers, Brendan Kerin, Lisa Goines and Ted Rutt coordinated
and hosted the Washington State D.A.R.E. Officers Association Conference.
At that conference, Officer Brendan Kerin was awarded the honor of "D.A.R.E.

Crime Prevention Unit 2004
Our Crime Prevention Unit consists of two officers and a Community -Oriented
Policing Coordinator who operate out of two offices. One office, the Neighborhood
Resource Center, is located on Tukwila International Boulevard. The second
office, the Community Resource Center is located at Westfield Shoppingtown.
Each office is staffed with volunteers who work with the officers and the public
to fulfill the department's mission and programs, including the Block Watch
Newsletters, Safety In Overnight Lodging, Crime Free Multi -housing, the

RECORDS DIVISIO\
The Tukwila Police Department Records Division is a 24 hour -a -day, 365 Jay-
a -year operation. This division serves the citizens of Tukwila in many ways.
In addition to receiving and responding to thousands of phone calls per month,
Records Personnel routinely process Concealed Pistol Licenses, respond to
Public Disclosure requests, and provide fingerprinting services.
Records Personnel also provide support to our Commissioned Personnel. This
includes monitoring our jail holding facility and assisting with prisoner searches.
In addition, Records Personnel routinely perform database searches to assist
officers with locating information that is pertinent to their cases and investigations.
The Records Division processed a total of 8,748 cases in 2004.
Another important function of the Records Division is to ensure accurate,
complete, and timely information processing into local, state, and federal crime
databases. These entries include missing persons, protection orders, stolen
vehicles, and arrest warrants. Routine audits of these systems ensure a high
standard of accuracy within the Records Division.
Each year the records maintained in the Records Division are inventoried and
reviewed to determine which records may be destroyed. All destructions are
done in accordance with the Washington State Law Enforcement General
Records Retention Schedule.

EVIDENCE AND
PROPERTY DIV"ISIO\
During 2004 the Evidence/Property Division continued to concentrate on its primary custodial
duties. One of the major components of tracking and storing the approximate 4,000 new
items we receive annually is to dispose of items per the retention schedule. This frees up
limited secured storage space.
Additionally, the department used the Property Bureau's (www.propertybureau.com) Internet
auction services for public sale of items. Over 900 items of illicit drugs were incinerated
and over 30 firearms were destroyed during the year also. We conducted a mixed media
shred, which disposed of sensitive document and media evidence.
The division continued to use technology to help maintain and store items. We have been
bar coding our items since 1997. This year we began using a portable PC tablet. This
allows us to use the computer to access our databases when we are off-site.
Evidence Technician, Susan Holaday, is one of the founders of the Evidence and Property
Information Network (E.P.I.N.), which is working to change the way evidence and property
rooms in the state do business. This group has worked with the state legislature to propose
a change to the current law. If passed, this bill will give law enforcement agencies across
the state more discretionary power to donate unclaimed items of evidence/property to non-
profit organizations. This proposal would expand the current law, which allows police
departments to donate toys and bicycles.

2004 was a busy year with many new challenges for our Training Unit. In
2004 we hired and trained 5 new commissioned officers. Developing and
training new officers for service is a crucial task requiring many training hours
covering a variety of topics. Our department Field Training Officers and Specialty
Instructors were kept busy and completed all training tasks with their normal
high degree of professionalism.
All employees completed our department CORE Training Courses including,
First Aid and CPR, Emergency Vehicle Operations, Communicable Disease
Training, Respirator Training, Handgun and Rifle Training, Unarmed Defensive
Tactics, Impact Weapons, and Taser Training.
In addition to our department CORE training, employees also received training
in cultural awareness and were taught techniques and strategies for working
with the mentally ill. Many officers reported that one of the training highlights
for 2004 was Ellis Amdur's presentation on how to effectively manage contacts
with the mentally ill.
Our Training Unit also sponsored and hosted three training seminars open to
all Law Enforcement Agencies. Officers attended Clandestine Lab Training,
Advanced Media Relations for Law Enforcement, and the Street Crimes Program
led by Reid and Associates. Personnel from a variety of states were represented
at these classes.
Tukwila Police employees completed approximately 9,060 hours of training
in 2004. A breakdown of training per division is depicted in the chart on the

PATROL SERVICES DIVISION
Patrol
The division successfully faced numerous challenges throughout 2004. Issues
ranging from changes in personnel, schedules, and technology provided
opportunities to strengthen our commitment and service to the community.
Due to officers leaving our agency during 2004, the department hired four
new officers. Of these, three were lateral hires from other police departments,
and one was a new hire entry-level officer.
Patrol Unit officers experimented with several schedules during the year. They
began the year working a 12 -hour schedule and finished the year working a
l0 -hour schedule. The schedules were evaluated for officer coverage relative
to workload, as well as workability for the officers. A permanent schedule is
anticipated in early 2005.
The division completed projects addressing the configuration of the patrol
vehicles and the equipment necessary to outfit each car. A prototype vehicle
was developed as a model to guide the setup of our new vehicles. This prototype
included the installation of a laptop computer in order to address Information
Technology demands for the future.

The Traffic Unit continued its mission to enforce traffic laws and investigate
collisions. Emphasis continues to be placed upon enforcement in school zones
and high accident locations.
Officers Greg LeCompte and Eric Hines joined Sergeant Jon Harrison, and
Officers Don Dart and Sergeant Johnson in the unit this year. Both were trained
in motorcycle operations and accident investigation and were able to put the
skills to good use to augment the unit on a part-time basis. We hope to have
officers as fulltime members of the unit in 2005.
2004 marked the end of our current K-9 program. Officer Jim Syler and Titan
moved to Lakewood PD where they continue work as a successful team.
Officer Greg Victor moved to Fife PD and his canine partner Radar has been
retired to the position of family pet.
We continue to have the need and interest to reestablish a K-9 program. We
hope to renew the program in 2005/2006.

"Awarded for an act within the normal scope of duties involving extreme risk
to the life of the individual..."
On April 27th Detective Jay Seese was working as an undercover Officer when
he heard what started out as a fairly routine patrol call. A Tukwila Police
Officer was responding to a report of a subject leaving a business without
paying for a haircut. Knowing that back up was not immediately available,
Detective Seese responded to assist. The call escalated to the point where the
suspect attempted to get into at least one occupied vehicle, then ran into a
coffee shop. Detective Seese followed him, and when he entered the business
he saw that the suspect was yelling and striking an officer with closed fists,
causing the officer to lose consciousness and fall to the ground.
Observing that the suspect appeared to be trying to obtain the officer's handgun,
Detective Seese attempted to restrain him. The suspect struck Detective Seese
on the top of his head with a metal flashlight causing injury. Although he was
bleeding from his head, Detective Seese struggled to gain control of the suspect,
who continued to attack him. He was eventually able to pin the suspect on
the ground and to contain him there until additional officers arrived. For his
efforts, Detective Seese was awarded the department's Medal of Valor.

POLICE OFFICER'S PRAYER
As I go about my duty, God,
Every step along the way,
Help me make a difference
In this world each passing day.
Give me a heart to be concerned,
A mind that knows what is right.
Give me the eyes and ears to see and hear
The truth as in Your sight.
Give me protection from things unseen,
Strength to face each test,
Help me to stand for law and order,
To daily do my best.
Give me the courage to defend the weak,
Compassion for those oppressed.
Help me lift up the ones who've stumbled,
Give a hand to those who are distressed.
Give me grace to face my final hour,
To give my life in service.
Let your strong hand and loving heart
Protect the ones that I hold dearest.
