b. Valley Special Response Team Update
Keith Haines, Chief of Police, explained the Valley Special Response Team is commonly referred to as a
SWAT team. He noted activities are on the rise for this Special Response Team (SRT). The Chief then
introduced Lieutenant Mike Villa, the new Team Commander of the SRT, with duties to begin in
September 2002.
Using Microsoft Power Point to make the presentation, Lt. Villa informed Council on member cities who
comprise the SRT. They include Renton, Auburn, Tukwila (from 1991 present) and recently added Kent,
Port of Seattle and Federal Way.
Lt. Villa reviewed the history of the SRT; it's organization, mission, concepts, and deployments or
"callouts" for service. Noteworthy is the fact that in 1999 there were only 21 deployments. Thus far, in
2002, there have been 42.
The officers assigned to the SRT complete those duties separate and aside from their specific duties
within the Tukwila Police Department. Members from Tukwila include Officers Mark Dunlap, Reed
Lancaster, Phil Glover, Mark Renninger, Shawn Robertson and David Cruz.
Each of the men receive specialized training in the areas of warrant service; building clearance; hostage
rescue; planes, trains, automobiles and busses; maritime operations and firearms. Utilizing special
equipment, these men are called out to serve however possible; and in many cases, work with members
of the Federal Bureau of Investigations.
To close the presentation, Lt. Villa fielded questions from various Councilmembers on operations,
procedures, weapons, and terms of service on the SRT.
