City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Community Services & Safety Committee FROM: Eric Dreyer, Chief of Police BY: Jake Berry, Police Budget Analyst CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: August 8th, 2023 SUBJECT: Public Safety Psychological Services Grant ISSUE The Police Department has been awarded a no -match grant that reimburses the full cost of Officer wellness meetings with a psychologist. Due to the size of the grant (maximum of $55,000), policy dictates that Council must provide their approval prior to execution. BACKGROUND In December of 2022, Council granted the Mayor authority to sign an earlier version of this same grant. Since then, nearly every commissioned member of the Police Department has benefitted from these confidential appointments with a certified psychologist that specializes in working with those within the criminal justice fields. The term of the previous grant has expired and execution of this 2023 version will ensure our Officers continue receiving quality care for their mental health. DISCUSSION Funding for this grant is provided via the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission (CJTC) as part of its Mental Health and Wellness Program. The purpose of the program is to build resilience, prevent injuries, foster peer support, promote physical fitness and nutrition, manage stress, prevent suicides, and to spotlight physical/mental health and wellbeing. Because the grant requires no matching on Tukwila's part, this is a unique opportunity for our Officers to continue receiving this care at no cost to the City. FINANCIAL IMPACT None. The grant will reimburse the City for each of the psychological visits up to $55,000. RECOMMENDATION The Police Department is requesting from the Council authority for the Mayor to sign the contract. This agreement is scheduled to come before the Committee of the Whole on August 28th and the Regular Meeting that same evening.

He requested the Council's assistance in mitigating the crime. BACKGROUND After the comments were received at the 6/26/23 council meeting, there was consensus from the council to forward the safety issues raised by this resident to committee for further discussion. The Police Department has analyzed the most current crime statistics in the immediate area. We have also met several times with management and residents of the Confluence Apts. to discuss resident safety and awareness. ANALYSIS The comments regarding crime seemed to imply that the crimes committed in this neighborhood were committed by people living at the Confluence Apts. It is difficult to determine the residency of suspects of crimes when they are not arrested. For information, there have been 3 reported incidents at the location of the resident who made public comment. Both of these incidents involved people trespassing on his property and "squatting" in an RV on the property. These incidents were reported in August of 2022, and two incidents in May of 2023. Analysis was completed of calls for service (CFS) data between 7/1/23 and 8/2/23 in the general area of S. 152nd St and Tukwila Intl Blvd. The top 3 locations for CFS in this time period were the Light Rail Station (69), AM/PM (32), and Confluence Apts (23). The Police Department has had several meetings with management at Confluence Apts. It was determined that the majority of problems on the property were from non-residents entering the property illegally. The perimeter fence has been cut several times allowing access directly from the Light Rail Station. Although the apartment building is secure, it is easily accessible by entering the garage or through exterior doors that are left open. The management at this property has been very proactive in partnering with the police department to make the property safe. Brooke Lamothe, Community Engagement Coordinator, has met with management and residents on April 13, 2023, May 25, 2023, and July 25, 2023. It is the Police Department's position that most calls for service in this area are related to the Light Rail Station and the criminal activity that occurs on the Light Rail property. With that, the Police Department has been very proactive in addressing the issues at the Light Rail Station. This includes emphasis patrols by utilizing officers on overtime and collaboration with our partners in Sound Transit and King County Sheriff's Office. 9 10 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 RECOMMENDATION This is for information only and no decisions are necessary.

They are also a common site for "crimes of opportunity," such as someone leaving a door or window open or unlocked. Renters have limited options to add extra security. Aside from what property managers can do to keep the complex safe, there are several easy things you can do to keep yourself safe, including fellow residents. Everyone's safety is never guaranteed, but we can make ourselves and others safer by working together. SAFETY TIPS BUILDING ACCESS • Don't hold the door open for strangers • Close the door behind you • Don't leave doors propped open • Verify workers by ID cards or badges • Do not allow strangers into your unit • Do not give your key out VEHICLE SMARTS • Remove garage door opener from your vehicle • Use a steering wheel lock • Add a tracking device to your car • Remove all valuables and items from your vehicle DOORS AND WINDOWS • Always lock your doors & windows • Do not hide keys outside your home • Use window treatments • If the window is on the ground floor, the blind should be closed slats up. Otherwise, people can see in from the floors above. • Blinds on an upper floor should close slats down so someone on the ground floor can't see in. • Add drop bars, wooden dowels, or pinning devices to windows and sliding glass doors TUKWILA POLICE PERSONAL INFORMATION • Keep valuables in a safe deposit box • Take out -going mail directly to the Post office or deposit in a blue USPS Postal Box • Utilize Amazon lockers • Do not leave checkbooks or important financial information out in the open WHILE OUT OF TOWN • Don't post on social media that you are out of town • Put your mail on hold • Ask your neighbors to remove any fliers or packages for safekeeping • Request a trusted neighbor to keep an eye on your apartment LANDSCAPING • Keep shrubs under 3 feet from the ground • Trim tree branches 4-5 feet off the ground II II TUKWILA POLICE VEHICLE THEFT PREVENTION With the rise of vehicle thefts, every driver can benefit from learning more or being reminded about the best ways to prevent car theft. Crime data shows that most auto thefts occur at or around the home of the vehicle's owner. • Lock up your car • Keep your windows rolled up • Park in a well lit area • Leave nothing in your car • Never leave your car running and unattended • Don't leave your keys, spare keys, or garage door opener in your car • Get a steering wheel club • Purchase AirTags or another low cost tracking device • Install a vehicle immobilizer • Keep your car in a garage if you have one 14 • Keep your car doors locked while driving • When you're coming to a stop, leave enough space to maneuver around other cars. If you sense trouble, this will give you the room needed to escape. • If a suspicious -looking person approaches your car, drive away carefully
