Professional Community Standards Unit Policing Team Sergeant Sergeant Central Dullness District (2) Chief's Message It is my pleasure to present this annual report. The year 2012 was a very progressive year for the Tukwila Police Department and policing in the community. The yeai4 began with the department developing a shared vision of being "A World -Class 6"" Police Department Delivering Professional Law Enforcement ' ' ti' Service." .il;�‘`, `1 We took strides in fulfilling this vision by promoting world- class employees to one sergeant, two commanders;, and one assistant chief position; staffing the department to its authorized - strength; improving training and equipment; reorganizing to create a Professional Standards Unit; and adding three new officer positions to the department. .` a We added two bicycle officers to the newly formed Community Police Team (CPT), formerly the Central Buoiness District Team. The CPT sergeant and four officers work closely with Michael Villa,' both the business and residential eommunities from the Chief of Police Neighborhood Resource Center. j center opened August 7K on Tukwila International Boulevard and has been an impetus to reducing tcrime in those surrounding neighborhoods. We added a third detective to the Tukwila Anti - Crime Team to focus more energy on narcotics and, vice related crimes. In the summer, staff came together and developed the crime reduction initiative — strategies for long- term crime reduction. The city administration and Council unanimously approved to fund the initiative in the 2013/2014 budget. We look.forward to implementing the strategies and becoming one of the safest cities in -King County in the years to come.

NRC Ribbon Cutting Ceremony Poster Contest 3 Promotion Ceremony Law Enforcement Memorial P a i r 0 1 Division Uniformed The patrol division is responsible for general policing activities around the City of Tukwila and responding to calls from citizens in crisis. We handled 31, 914 incidents and documented 9, 315 of them with case reports. 2012 was a period of growth for the patrol division; twelve officers were hired during the year. The responsibility for field training of four of those officers fell onto the expertise of the field training cadre in the patrol division. A total of 12 months of field training was provided to those four officers; five additional newly hired officers spent the last quarter of 2012 in the Basic Law Enforcement Academy. During the year, the patrol division added a much needed transport officer to ensure defendants are seen in court. For several months, transport duties were handled by the patrol division on -duty personnel. They 4 patrol provided court transportation and security duties for nearly 150 defendants during the period the transport officer position was vacant. The Neighborhood Resource Center was opened in a new location during the summer; this additional resource is critical in enabling patrol officers to complete case reports and conduct surveillance of suspicious activities thereby preventing street crimes and victimization of citizens. Citizens have also made use of the NRC to report crimes to officers and obtain information about available resources as well. Patrol division officers voluntarily performed numerous hours for community service projects including Shop with a Cop, DARE instruction for the elementary schools, community outreach to immigrant groups, fundraising for the Tukwila Pantry food bank, Christmas caroling, and handing out candy canes during the holiday season. 5 In 2010, in conjunction with Tukwila Fire Department, the Tukwila Police Department started its first Police Boat/ Marine Program. The Marine Unit is comprised of 12 officers and detectives who volunteered for this duty. Under the supervision of Sergeant Rory Mettlin and Sergeant Bill Devlin, the unit is responsible for police related issues, and flooding emergencies that can occur on the Duwamish/ Green River. The officers are all trained and proficient with the many technical aspects of boat operations, river patrol, and rescue. The officers trained throughout the year 2012 to operate the two boats on the Duwamish/Green River. The officers are specifically trained and equipped to handle the many challenges and obstacles that the Duwamish/Green River presents. These boats were specifically built and designed for this type of river and any incidents that occur. In 2012, the boat patrol officers responded to various incidents on the river. They assisted in rescues and searches, and also assisted other city employees and departments with requests for transport or assistance on the river. 6 During calendar year 2012, the Traffic Unit consisted of an acting sergeant, two full time motor officers and one patrol/traffic officer assigned to Patrol due to staffing shortages. The Traffic Unit successfully responded to multiple serious injury and fatality collision investigations. Members of the Traffic Unit provided numerous hours of school zone safety patrol and speeding enforcement, as well as handling follow-up investigations for 360 hit- and-run collisions. The Traffic Unit officers, who are cross -trained, conducted well over 400 hours of training for department members and other City employees in various disciplines, including driver training, firearms proficiency, defensive tactics and Taser training. The Traffic Unit also coordinated the Volunteer Traffic Enforcement program. Canine Unit The Police Department's K9 unit serves in the Patrol Division. The Tukwila Police Department K9 unit consists of two teams; Officer Eric DeVries • K9 Stryker, and Officer Jamie Sturgill and K9 Gino. The K9 team is supervised by Sergeant Steve Gurr. Sergeant Gurr, Officers DeVries and Sturgill are veteran officers and experienced K9 handlers. Their primary mission is tracking and locating suspects who flee crime scenes while attempting to evade arrest. They also conduct searches for evidence.

Officer DeVnes Investigations Division Major Crimes Unit 8 The MCU is comprised of a sergeant, eight detectives, one support specialist, and one domestic violence victim advocate. The Major Crimes Unit detectives are responsible for investigating a broad range of crimes and other activities that occur in the City of Tukwila; these include homicide, robbery, burglary, felony assault, crimes against children and the elderly, felony theft, fraud, forgery, sexual assault, missing persons, and matters relating to registered sex offenders. All of the detectives are assigned a `primary' discipline from those listed above, and case assignments are based on workload priorities, solvability factors, and community - targeted criminal behavior. The detectives are available 24 hours a day for call -outs and crime scene investigations. MCU detectives also conduct pre- employment background investigations on people seeking jobs in the police department. In 2012, MCU detectives were assigned to investigate 469 new felony cases in which a suspect was arrested or some suspect information existed — a busy year! Tukwila Anti -Crime Team he Tukwila Anti -Crime Team (TAC Team) is comprised of a sergeant and three detectives. The unit's primary responsibility is to investigate drug and prostitution crimes that affect the citizenry of Tukwila. The unit also addresses other crimes as assigned, often relying on special equipment and undercover skills to conduct those investigations. The unit had a busy and successful year. TAC team detectives processed 151 felony drug crimes, self -generated 33 felony drug investigations, and made 25 prostitution related arrests. During these investigations the TAC Team recovered 26 firearms and seized $73,000 in cash from drug dealers. TAC Team highlights for the year include shutting down a long term methamphetamine dealing property , and the investigation of a criminal group operating out of a motel that led to the arrest of three individuals for promoting prostitution and dealing large amounts of crack cocaine and heroin. The Professional Standards Unit had a busy year. In 2012, the Crime Prevention Resource Team (CPRT) name transitioned to the Professional Standards Unit. The Professional Standards Unit is responsible for department -wide training, crime prevention, school safety and collaboration through the school resource officer, department accreditation, and some other ancillary duties. A regular event that the Professional Standards Unit is involved with is the National Night Out Against Crime. This years' event was an active and fun -filled evening with great events held at 25 different locations. Fifteen teams of 32 Tukwila staff volunteers visited these events over the course of the evening. Crime Prevention identified two Tukwila properties as "Chronic Nuisance Properties" under a new ordinance implemented at the end of 2011. These properties were declared chronic nuisances by the Chief of Police and each was given a list of actions required to improved safety and reduce criminal activity on the property. The team will continue to monitor these properties until they have corrected the issues causing them to be declared a nuisance. The Crime Prevention Team staffed informational booths at City of Tukwila events, such as the Touch -A -Truck, the 4th at the Fort and the Children's Festival in addition to partnering with several local businesses to provide information at their safety-related events. In cooperation with six other South King County Agencies, our team provided Tukwila landlords with an opportunity for all -day training This training is the first step in gaining Crime Free Multi -Housing certification for a rental property. icna►i cls Unit Community (Policing Team The Community Policing Team (formerly known as the Central Business District Team) is a proactive team that splits its time equally between the central business district and the Tukwila International Blvd corridor. The main goal of the CPT is to establish a relationship between the Tukwila Police and the citizens and business owners, allowing for a more proactive police role in the community. The CPT primarily works out of the new Neighborhood Resource Center, which was opened on the 8th of August, 2012. The team is now fully staffed with a sergeant, four officers, and three volunteers. The team patrols both areas using foot, bicycles, and vehicle patrols. Throughout 2012, the team conducted multiple successful car prowl, theft, robbery, and gang emphases within the central business district. They partnered with Westfield Mall on several big shoe releases and special events. These events included VIP appearances/autograph signings, the day after Thanksgiving, and the day after Christmas events. The CPT partnered with the Crime Prevention Resource Team, the Tukwila Community Center, the Tukwila Explorers, and Westfield Mall for their annual Food and Toy drive, which collected food and money for the Tukwila Pantry and the Tukwila Community Center's children's giving programs. They also participated in the Touch -A -Truck event at Foster High School. 11 The Tukwila Police Department's Records Division operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and assists the citizens and businesses of Tukwila in a variety of ways. In 2012, the division processed over 350 firearm related licenses and applications, 113 professional licenses, handled more than 25,000 telephone calls, and processed more than 6,600 public disclosure requests. The Records Division also provides fingerprinting services to the public, assists with community education programs, and takes found property cases. In addition to serving the citizens of Tukwila, the Records Division provides support to our commissioned staff. Our staff works in tandem with officers on the street to assist them with their patrol duties. The division routinely provides searches of local, state, federal, and even international databases to assist officers and detectives with locating information that is pertinent to their investigations and cases. The division also monitors our jail holding facility and assists with prisoner searches. In 2012, our Records Division processed 9,315 case reports. When processing case reports, the Records Division must ensure accurate, complete, and timely information processing. Information is routinely entered into various local, state and federal databases. These entries include stolen and impounded vehicles, warrants, protection orders, missing persons, and stolen and recovered articles. Entering information into these databases must be done in accordance with various laws and system regulations. In order to ensure a high standard of accuracy, routine internal audits are conducted on these systems. In addition, information entered into state and federal databases are subject to audits by regulatory agencies such as the Washington State Patrol and the Federal Bureau of Investigations. The Records Division operates in a continuous cycle of collecting, storing, and purging information. Within the first quarter of each year, case reports and other records are reviewed to determine which need to be maintained for extended retention, and which should be destroyed. The annual records destruction is completed in accordance with the Washington State General Records Retention Schedule for Law Enforcement Agencies. Evidence The primary duty of the Evidence Division is to ensure the proper security and chain of custody for property and evidence items taken in by the Tukwila Police Department. Once items are turned into the Evidence Division, they are tracked using a bar coding system. Maintaining and properly documenting the chain of custody is imperative to guarding the integrity of the department's property and -, F evidence system. In 2012, the Tukwila Police _�r Department took in 4,479 items of property and evidence. Evidence personnel also offer support to our commissioned personnel at times, by assisting with crime scene processing and the collection of evidence. Even with minimal staffing (one full-time Evidence Technician, one Evidence Alternate, and the Records \_ Manager who oversees both the Records and Evidence Divisions), evidence personnel are available 24 hours a day to assist other divisions of the department with any forensic or evidence packaging questions. In 2012,--�- our two Marijuana Leaf Identification Technicians analyzed over 82 misdemeanor marijuana cases. The Evidence Division operates within a continuous cycle of receiving, storing and disposing of items taken into custody. Items are purged when they are no longer needed as evidence due to the expiration of the statute of limitations for the associated crime. This involves a lengthy process of researching the status of related case reports, coordinating disposition approval with various officers, detectives, prosecutors, a • ether personnel, researching court dockets, and researching sentencing information. Destruction i' teras must also be done in accordance with various local, state, and federal laws. Certain new ` ,ently-used items are routinely disposed of by donating them to a non-profit organization called Treehouse. This organization supports local children in foster care.

The team is trained and well equipped to respond and effectively resolve a variety of high-risk situations. These situations include arrest and search warrants, barricaded subjects, hostage rescue, sniper incidents, terrorist acts, in - progress workplace or school violence, and dig protection. Valley SWAT has developed into one of the respected tactical units in Washington State. This year, the team co -hosted a national training conference sponsored by the National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA). This high-profile event brought in 668 attendees and 194 equipment vendors from around the United States for several days of hands on training and classroom instruction in various SWAT related skills and tactics. This successful conference showcased the exceptional professionalism and dedication of Valley SWAT to the communities it serves. use Inerships he Tukwila Police artment participates in a bined regional SWAT This 36 -man team, wn as Valley SWAT, is posed of six officers and a ce commander from each the cities of Tukwila, ton, Kent, Auburn, Federal , and the Port of Seattle ce Departments.

VCDU trains with other departments in the valley, and deploys regionally to handle incidents of civil unrest. The Tukwila Police Department has fifteen officers serve as members of the Valley Civil Disturbance Unit (VCDU). This team responds to the need of any city in the region that requires a well-trained and organized police presence trained in crowd control for any type of large protest or gathering. The team members have specialized training and experience in less lethal munitions, chemical crowd -control agents, safe removal of protesters and protestor devices, as well as bicycle response. Tukwila Police VCDU members provided crowd control at various protest events in 2012 in Tukwila, and in other cities in the region. The Tukwila members of Valley CDU are supervised by Sergeant Steve Gurr and Sergeant Rory Mettlin. Officer Mike Murphy is the training officer for the VCDU.

They in -processed and arranged initial training for 11 new officers. For our existing staff, the state requires all officers to attend 24 hours of in-service training every year. They exceeded that requirement. The officers train hard to maintain weapons proficiency, overcome physical resistance, safely operate emergency vehicles and many other courses to maintain core proficiencies. In addition to core in-service training, most officers attend many hours of extra training to develop expertise in many areas of law enforcement including gang enforcement, interrogation techniques, SWAT, Civil Disturbance, and Crisis Communications teams and on-line crimes. They also maintain the certification of in -house trainers for firearms, defensive tactics and emergency vehicle operations. They have a very well-trained staff that continues to identify and respond to the needs of the community. T he Community Relations Committee has been working together with the citizens of Tukwila to bring fun events and positive police interactions to the community. Our main goal is to reach out to citizens and join them in forming strong, crime -free neighborhoods all around the City. We want to get the message out that we are here for them and it does not have to only be in bad situations. The Community Relations Committee started off 2012 with our First Annual Poster Contest for the fifth graders in our three elementary schools. The theme was Night Out Against Crime and there were three winners who each received gift cards donated by two of our local businesses. The first place winner's class won a pizza party. The first place winner was also escorted by a Tukwila police officer to the Night Out Against Crime celebrations that were held on August 6, 2012. Officers attended the state funded, "Free Lunch Program for Kids" at the Cascade View Community Park in July and August. They helped race nut lhinrlipc anti chant tima xxrith tha rhilrlran The Police Department was in full display for our Food and Toy Drive in November. Our emergency management vehicle/command center was set up in the Westfield Southcenter Mall parking lot with officers and explorers at the entrances collecting donations. We collected enough money, food, and toys to supply many families so they would have a happy holiday season. We ended 2012 with our annual Holiday Caroling. Thanks to donations of candy canes, our officers and members of the committee were able to spread holiday cheer. Candy canes and stuffed animals were given out to the children while holiday music played through the speakers of the patrol cars. We brought smiles and laughter to Tukwila's citizens so our mission was accomplished. The year of 2012 started out with the D.A.R.E graduation at Foster High School's Performing Arts Center. Over 250 fifth graders from Thorndyke, Tukwila, and Cascade View Elementaries were recognized for their hard work after completing their many weeks of D.A.R.E. education. With this graduation, we saw the end of an era for the old D.A.R.E. curriculum. In July of 2012, D.A.R.E. Officer Marc Schutt and Sergeant Rory Mettlin traveled to the 25th Annual D.A.R.E. International Training Conference in Atlanta. Sergeant Mettlin was honored by carrying the State Of Washington flag during the opening ceremonies. Officer Schutt and Sergeant Mettlin were certified to teach the new D.A.R.E. Elementary Curriculum "Keepin' it ... Real." This new curriculum was developed by Pennsylvania & Arizona State Universities. It is a science -based curriculum that teaches students responsible decision making, relationship and communication skills, understanding of others, and self-awareness, as well as how to respond to peer pressure and signs of stress. In the fall of 2012, Officer Schutt and Sergeant Mettlin started teaching this new curriculum to the fifth graders at Cascade, Tukwila, and Thorndyke Elementary schools. The new era of D.A.R.E. is upon us, growing along with the children of Tukwila. CALL 971 Joanne McManus spenctwo days a week calling to remind citizens of their court dates and assists the office staff with administrative duties. arleen Thornton keeps an eye on the Boulevard. eras along the The police department has been graced over the years by many citizens who volunteer valuable time and 2012 offered a renewed opportunity for volunteers. When the Neighborhood Resource Center (NRC) re -opened in its new home at S. 150th and Tukwila International Boulevard, the call went out for volunteers to staff the desk and keep an eye on the cameras along the Boulevard. Currently the NRC has three dedicated volunteers: Darleen Thornton, Daniel Elijah, and Lenny Autio. Each of them comes in for roughly four hours of watching the cameras and alerting officers to suspicious activity, assisting members of the public who stop at the center for information, and other administrative work to assist the officers assigned to the NRC. In the Professional Standards Unit, Joanne McManus spends two days a week calling to remind citizens of their court dates in Tukwila Municipal Court. When she has a spare minute, she assists the office staff with administrative duties. The Traffic Unit continues to be the favorite place for volunteers, with a total of eight dedicated folks. Traffic volunteers Bob McManus, John Bush, David Mann, Abdi Abdullahi, Daniel Elijah, Kaise Jibril, Enad Alfaouri, and Ray Peters spend time investigating abandoned vehicle complaints, illegal handicapped parking on private property, and staging the speed trailers around the City of Tukwila. They log an average of 50 hours of service per month. It is with great sadness that the Tukwila Police Department marked the death of long-time volunteer, Dottie Sangl. Dottie volunteered for over 20 years taking fingerprints of applicants for concealed weapons permits and job seekers. She was among the most loyal and dependable volunteers for the Tukwila Police Department. Her cheery attitude and jokes are greatly missed by members of the Tukwila Police Department. Community Oriented pclicinn Citizens ,Advisory Board (CCICAU) At the first meeting in 2012, COPCAB members decided on a project for the year. This was to create, publish and analyze a survey of the Tukwila community about the Tukwila Police Department.. Questions were created by the members and the survey went live in June. In order to advertise the survey through the Tukwila School District, the survey remained live until October. The 123 responses to the survey provided feedback to the police department about community perceptions of the police and areas of criminal activity. Survey responses underscored the need for the newly re -opened Neighborhood Resource Center. As a part of the survey process, COPAB members created a logo. This logo was prominent on all the survey materials. COPCAB members were also busy out in the community. Some of their many activities were: attending the Neighborhood Resource Center opening, attendance at DARE graduation, a table at the Valley View Sewer/ Water District 120 open house and providing input to the City of Tukwila Strategic Plan Steering Committee. On an annual basis, COPCAB makes awards to a Tukwila Police Department Employee and a Tukwila community member based on their service to ideals of Community Oriented Policing in Tukwila. In June of 2012, awards were given to: Joanne McManus—Community Member and Volunteer Officer Gary Leavitt—Tukwila Police Officer Chris Partman—Tukwila Police Community Policing Coordinator 2012 COPCAB Members: Chair Lynn Churchill, Resident Jeff Baker, School District Jun Castillo, Resident 21 Kim Karns, Business Art Rosengren, Resident Jerry Thornton, Resident 1 Explorers are a group of young adults ranging in ages from 14- 21 with a desire to learn about law enforcement. They are a highly motivated and energetic group of people that put in countless hours of volunteer time throughout the community and assist the Police Department in a variety of ways. The Explorers needed that energy to carry them through the year as they were very busy in 2012. They started the year by doing a lot of fundraising to help offset the cost of their National Conference, which was held in Colorado in July. The Explorers had 10 days of fun which included sightseeing in Montana and the Black Hills of South Dakota before starting five days of competition at IV the National Law Enforcement Explorer Conference in Colorado. Tukwila Police Explorer Jamilla Culcleasure received the 1st Place Medal in Physical Fitness. The Explorers also participated in regional training every quarter and they tackled two one-week academies where they learned law enforcement techniques, marching, military drill and— most of all — the confidence and ability to do a job well. Bruce Linton was promoted to the rank of Assistant Chief on February 1, 2012 Promotions Rick Mitchell was promoted to the rank of Commander on May 21, 2012 Todd Rossi was promoted to the rank of Sergeant on November 16, 2012 Jon Harrison was promoted to the rank of Commander on October 1, 2012 23 Recognition Employee Cf The Year Bill Devlin Sergeant Excellence In Action Award Mike Villa Chief of Police Meritorious Service Awards Rory Mettlin, Sergeant Brent Frank, Officer Randy Rusness, Officer Sanjay Prasad, Officer Zack Anderson, Officer On August 17' 2011, the above sergeant and officers, responded to a fire at 14828 Military Rd.

Let your strong hand and loving heart Protect the ones that I hold dearest. 31 Tukwila Police Department 6200 Southcenter Blvd. Tukwila, WA 98188 Website: http://www.tukwilawa.gov/police/pd.html General information: 206-433-1808 Public Information Office: 206-433-1825 Emergencies: Tukwila Police Department Administration Mike Villa, Chief of Police Bruce Linton, Assistant Chief Rick Mitchell, Patrol Commander Jon Harrison, Patrol Commander Dennis McOmber, Investigations Commander Eric Dreyer, Investigations Commander Rebecca McGregor, Records Manager Phi Huynh, Administrative Secretary Tukwila City Administration Jim Haggerton, Mayor David Cline, City Administrator Tukwila City Council Verna Seal, Council President Joe Duffle, Councilmember Dennis Robertson, Councilmember Allan Ekberg, Councilmember Kathy Hougardy, Councilmember De'Sean Quinn, Councilmember Kate Kruller, Councilmember 744 _ ZC
