REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES:
A motion was made by Jesse Driese to approve the September meeting minutes, a second was made by
Evan Brown and the motion passed unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARINGS/OTHER BUSINESS:
a. Vacant Positions
There are two vacant positions after Shana Scott and Joseph Turrey's resignation. Catherine is working with
the City Clerk to gather applicants for consideration and recommendation at the next meeting. Voting for
Vice Chair is also needed. The Board decided to wait until the November meeting to vote for this seat.
b. Land Acknowledgement
The Board has decided to make an informal request for Council to Consider Land Acknowledgement at the
higher level and then for the Board to take their lead.
c. November and December Meetings
Historically the PSAB has taken a break for November and December so Chair Schwab asked the Board
what they would like to do during this time and conversation ensued. The Board seemed to like the idea of
keeping November's meeting on the calendar and decide at the November's meeting if the Board needs to
meet in December.
COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC:
STAFF UPDATES:
a. Public Comment: N/A
b. Fire Department Report
Chief Dubuc introduced Derrell Sharp the new Assistant Fire Chief of Operations/EMS he comes to us from
Clallam County Fire District 43. Chief Sharp introduced himself to the Board. The Fire Department just
completed a 2-year grant that would fund one of the Community Paramedic positions. Boosters will be
given out to First Responders in the coming weeks provided by the Community Paramedics. There are 3
new personnel starting on November 1". Chief Sharp has coordinated a 15-day Academy for the new hires.
c. Police Department Report
Chief Smith noted that the PD is very busy, and they will be receiving the round 3 Maderna Booster.
Staffing continues to be an issue and PENCOM is operating at half capacity, hopeful to be fully staffed in
2023. On the sworn side there are 32 authorized positions, they have lost 5 this year 2 to retirements and 3
to other careers. 40mm Launchers and 37mm launchers and ammunition are all now prohibited because
they were caught up in legislature, Chief is hopeful that with clarification legislature will allow those to go
back into use so that more force is not required. PD received grant funding of$79 thousand to replace the
equipment that they can no longer use. They ordered Bolawraps that assists in immobilizing someone under
some circumstances. Chief said they have had a busy summer; they are planning a Reserve Academy next
spring and summer. Code Enforcement currently has 1 fulltime employee and 1 vacant part-time position.
Chief also announced that the PD has received funding to help fund 1 of the county's 3 CREW (Community
Resource & Ecology Workers)teams formerly known as "Chain Gangs".
REPORTS OF BOARD MEMBERS:
Brauner: Submitted a memorandum about House Bill 1310 (enclosed). Gayle would like to address the
Board Duties and Responsibilities again in the November meeting, she has some ideas specifically
regarding the elderly who walk and fraud against the elderly. Gayle noted that Webster Park has really been
cleaned up and she appreciates that effort.
Driese: Thanked the Chiefs for taking the time out to keep everyone informed.
Ware: REdisCOVERY has expanded their outreach where they are now working with medical staff to assist
people. Viola also noted that the Community Paramedics have been a great resource as wel.
GOOD OF THE ORDER:
ADJOURNMENT:
Evan Brown made a motion to adjourned, a second was made by Jesse Driese and the motion passed
unanimously at 7:00 pm.

Subject:Supplementary Questions
Dear PSAB Applicant,
On Wednesday, during the regular meeting of the Public Safety Advisory Board, it was
pointed out that the applications presented to the Board contained information that was not
standard from applicant to applicant. The questions below were included with one of the
applications from a previous application review. The Board would like to hear answers from
all of the applicants so they can learn more about each of you. Ordinarily, a board might opt
to do in person interviews. During these challenging times, we are opting for a different
approach that will still allow the Board to learn more about you, but does not require
additional meetings especially in a time when we can only meet virtually. We are providing
these questions to each of the applicants so that you all have the same opportunity to provide
input.
I have three questions below and have attached the new ordinance adopted by Council for
your review and reference. Please have your responses back to me by end of day Wednesday,
March 24. If for any reason this will not be possible,please indicate so, and let me know
when I can expect to receive your responses. We plan to provide your responses to the Board
prior to their meeting to allow them time to process your answers and make a
recommendation.
If you have any questions,please feel free to reach out to me. Thank you again for your
interest in serving on the Public Safety Advisory Board.
Kari

November 5, 2021
Greetings from your Executive Director:
As we head into November, this may be a good time to do a status check:
In July, Gene Johnson of the Associated Press wrote a story on the new police reform laws then going
into effect.
_----
The article mentioned our state is "embarking on a massive experiment", and the laws are "likely the
nation's most ambitious police reform legislation." Chief Rafael Padilla is quoted as saying, "the laws
were written very poorly... and led to there being conflicts in clarity and in what was intended versus
what was written". Finally, Rep.Jesse Johnson, the author of the main bills of police tactics and use of
force, "acknowledged some clarifications are necessary-but said that's not uncommon in complex
legislation."
The story quoted WASPC and pointed out, correctly,that "law enforcement officials have embraced
some of the changes and said they share lawmakers goals, but uncertainty about how to comply...may
have unintended outcomes that result in increased levels of confusion, frustration,victimization, and
increased crime within our communities".
Force is not defined in the new laws, and probable cause is now needed before that undefined force can
be used, rather than the historical standard of reasonable suspicion,which the article cites as "a
common sense notion, based on specific facts,that's someone might be involved in a crime". The article
goes on to point out that"it also means police might sometimes have to let the bad guy go, at least
temporarily."
The new laws have been in effect for several months and it is time to review their impact.
This week, a Poulsbo officer was commuting to work before 5:00 AM in uniform and in a fully marked
police vehicle. He heard the sound of a horn blaring and when he looked in that direction, saw a person
sprinting away from the parked vehicle with the alarm sounding, leading a reasonable person to believe
they were interrupting an alarm. The 15-year veteran activated his emergency lights and caught up to
the sprinting subject as they were getting into a vehicle, as the officer got out and told the person "show
their hands". The person got into the vehicle, made eye contact with the officer, and ignored the
officer's commands as they frantically tried to start the vehicle. The officer stood outside the driver's
door of the vehicle giving loud verbal commands, and the person continued to ignore the officer and,
after about 10 seconds, got the vehicle started and then drove away recklessly. The officer broadcast
the subject's vehicle, physical description and direction of travel over police radio as the suspect drove
away.
A few minutes later, all of the officer's reasonable suspicions were confirmed. The original vehicle
sounding its alarm had a broken driver's side window and there was a hammer lying on the ground
beside the car. The suspect ran from the area of this vehicle, but the officer did not see the suspect in
Serving the Law Enforcement Community and the Citizens of Washington
the vehicle. The officer did not feel, at any point in his contact with this suspect, that he had probable
cause to arrest the person, and therefore able to use force, if necessary, under the new laws. Prior to
the implementation of the new law, the officer could have, and would have, used force if necessary to
detain this suspect. As Chief Harding points out,theft has risen sharply in Kitsap County since the
implementation of the new law.
This week, Puyallup PD had a case.where officers could not pursue a driver who recklessly struck two
patrol cars.
I have heard from several Chiefs and Sheriffs about the increased frequency of drivers not stopping for
law enforcement, and we have highlighted several instances in this newsletter. Combined with
restrictions on proactive policing, fewer resources due to retirements and departures of our officers and
deputies, and the knowledge that pursuits cannot be initiated for stolen cars,we should not be
surprised at the most recent auto theft data sent out this week from the State Patrol. The Auto Theft
Prevention Authority tracks these numbers, and in October of 2021 we saw 851 more vehicles stolen in
this state than October 2020 (3404 vs. 2553);that is a 33% increase. Since July of 2021, car thefts have
increased 55%, from 2200 in July 2021 to 3404 in October. Here is the data_fro ACIIC for auto thefts
by month going back to 2002.
Here is where we are- there are many examples each week of the public safety outcomes created by
the new laws, and they likely result in the desired outcome of reducing law enforcement uses of
force. Why? Because the nature of these sweeping changes effectively removed law enforcement from
many interactions completely. The new laws are the most restrictive in the nation and have in some
ways eliminated large elements of proactive policing, and may result in more dangerous situations for
residents, emboldened criminal behavior, more violent crime, and more disorder. If that is the
acceptable and desired new normal, our policy makers and our communities need to understand what
that means.
The July article from the Associated Press also went on to point out these laws are "taking effect as
police have left the state and the profession in droves." The recent 2020 FBI Crime report points out
that Washington State is,for the 11th straight year,51"out of 50 for officers per thousand, when you
include Washington, DC. Based on this year's data, our Policy Director,James McMahan, did some math
and here are some remarkable results. As people use the politically loaded term of"defunding the
police",the numbers show in Washington State we have been defunded for years.
• If Washington State were to move up to be tied for 50th,we would need to hire 802 additional
officers statewide (a 7% increase in the number of officers). Assuming an annual cost of
$120,000 per officer,that would require a statewide investment of more than $96 million per
year.
• If Washington State wanted to rank in the middle,25th in the nation,we would need to hire
an additional 6,320 officers statewide (a 58% increase). Assuming an annual cost of$120,000
per officer, that would require a statewide investment of more than $758 million per year.
• If Washington State wanted to rank#1 in this measure,we would need to hire an additional
34,033 officers (a 310% increase), costing more than $4 billion per year (assuming the same
$120,000 cost per officer).

The elections this week, both locally and nationwide, seem to be reflecting a move toward balance and
coming together for solutions. Here are a number of recent columns and links that provide some
context:
• A Portland City Commissioner recently authored a column that is worth reading
• Retired Pierce County Sheriff Paul Pastor authored this excellent column.
• Here is an article about how the dynamics of"defunding the police" have changed in many
cities.
• A recent Pew survgy indicates strong support for more funding for law enforcement, which says,
"the share of adults who say spending on policing in their area should be increased now stands
at 47%, up from 31% in June 2020. That includes 21%who say funding for their local police
should be increased a lot, up from 11%who said this last summer."
• In Tacoma,this article,highlights demands from the community for greater safety and the sense
that"crime is taking over.
• Here is an interesting article about Apple AirTags and the ways they may be used to recover
stolen property, and also concerns about their use in stalking.
Finally,this week we are posting a new_pgc! ast,titled, "Slow Down,Team Up and Tell Our Story:
Managing Change" with Marysville PD Chief Erik Scairpon. The Chief's themes really help communicate
to the department and the community the changes being developed for de-escalation and implementing
the concepts from Patrol Tactics Training.
Stay Safe!

August 12Ih 2021
The Honorable Robert Ferguson
Attorney General of the State of Washington
PO Box 40100
Olympia, Washington 98504-0100
Dear Attorney General Ferguson:
We are requesting an Attorney General Opinion regarding the legal standards for use of physical force
by peace officers.
During the 2021 Regular Session, the Legislature passed Engrossed Second Substitute House Bill
(E2SHB) 1310 with the goal of establishing a uniform statewide standard that emphasizes the
importance of exercising reasonable care and preserving and protecting human life. While many of the
concepts contained in the legislation are already common practice for peace officers, the complexities
and nuances of police practices and applicable laws, both in statute and common law, are posing
implementation challenges for some law enforcement agencies. For that reason, the Washington
Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs is requesting additional clarification and guidance. Therefore,
we respectfully request answers to the following questions:
1. What constitutes "physical force" in the context of the standard in E2SHB 1310?
2. Does the standard in E2SHB 1310 preclude an officer from using physical force in the context of
an investigatory detention (based on reasonable suspicion and not probable cause)when it
becomes apparent that an individual will not otherwise comply with the request to stop?
3. In light of the standard in E2SHB 1310, are the provisions of Chapter 71.05 RCW, Chapter 13.34
RCW, Chapter 43.185C RCW, and other statutes and court orders (civil or criminal) authorizing
or directing a law enforcement officer to take a person into custody to be interpreted as
authorizing the officer to use physical force when necessary for that purpose?
4. In light of the standard in E2SHB 1310, is a law enforcement officer authorized to use physical
force pursuant to the emergency aid doctrine, where there is no "imminent threat of bodily injury
to the officer, another person, or the person against whom force is being used"? Does using
physical force in this manner breach a legal duty to leave the scene, and would an officer's
efforts constitute an exception to the Public Duty Doctrine under the rescue doctrine?
5. Read together, does section 3(3) of E2SHB 1310 effectively authorize a law enforcement officer
to use a chokehold or neck restraint"to protect against his or her life or the life of another person
from an imminent threat" despite the specific prohibition of such tactics in section 2 of
Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1054 (2021)?
6. How should the terms "possible, "available," and "appropriate" in section 3 of E2SHB 1310 be
interpreted? Should those terms be interpreted according to their common definitions or
according to the "reasonable officer" standard established under Graham v. Connor, 490 U.S.
386 (1989), which provides that"the'reasonableness' of a particular use of force must be judged
from the perspective of a reasonable officer on the scene, rather than with the 20/20 vision of
hindsight"?
Answers to these questions will assist agencies with interpreting recent legislation and provide for
consistent implementation across the State of Washington. It is possible that you may receive similar or
duplicate questions from other persons requesting an Attorney General Opinion, and as such, we
recognize that consolidating such requests may be appropriate under the circumstances. Thank you for
taking the time to issue a formal opinion on these pressing matters.
Sincerely,
Qn-o' X

The Secretary of Homeland Security has issued an updated National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin regarding the
current heightened threat environment across the United States. The Homeland continues to face a diverse and challenging
threat environment as it approaches several religious holidays and associated mass gatherings that in the past have served as
potential targets for acts of violence.These threats include those posed by individuals and small groups engaged in violence,
including domestic violent extremists (DVEs) and those inspired or motivated by foreign terrorists and other malign foreign
influences.These actors continue to exploit online forums to influence and spread violent extremist narratives and promote
violent activity.The ongoing global pandemic continues to exacerbate these threats, in part due to perceived government
overreach in implementation of public health safety measures. Further, foreign terrorist organizations and DVEs continue to
attempt to inspire potential followers to conduct attacks in the United States, including by exploiting recent events in Afghanistan.
As of November 10, 2021, DHS is not aware of an imminent and credible threat to a specific location in the United States.
