Washington Administrative Code › Title 139 - Criminal Justice Training Commission › Chapter 139-11 - LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING AND COMMUNITY SAFETY ACT › Section 139-11-020 - Requirements of training for law enforcement

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
This rule implements parts of Initiative Measure No. 940,
				passed in November 2018, and chapter 4, Laws of 2019 (SHB 1064), signed into
				law in February 2019. As stated in section 2 of Initiative Measure No. 940,
				"The intent of the people in enacting this act is to make our communities
				safer. This is accomplished by requiring law enforcement officers to obtain
				violence de-escalation and mental health training, so that officers will have
				greater skills to resolve conflicts without the use of physical or deadly
				force." While it is understood that police culture is part of the larger
				culture, it is critical for law enforcement training to proactively address the
				issue of law enforcement and its intersection with marginalized communities and
				contribute to changing outcomes for the better.
(1) Beginning December 7, 2019, all new
			 general authority peace officers must complete a minimum of two hundred hours
			 of initial violence de-escalation and mental health training in the basic law
			 enforcement academy (BLEA). Violence de-escalation and mental health training
			 will include the following topics:
(a) Patrol
			 tactics, actions and communication methods that de-escalate situations when
			 appropriate to reduce the likelihood of injury to all parties involved, avoid
			 unnecessarily escalating situations that may lead to violence, and avoid
			 unnecessarily placing officers in situations that require or lead to deadly
			 force by:
(i) Managing the distance between
			 the officer and the persons involved;
(ii) Utilizing shielding to protect the
			 officer and others from a threat;
(iii) Managing the pace of an interaction;
			 and
(iv) Engaging in communication
			 to increase options for resolving the incident and reduce the likelihood of
			 injury to all parties involved.

Washington Administrative Code › Title 139 - Criminal Justice Training Commission › Chapter 139-12 - Law Enforcement Training and Community Safety Act-Independent Investigations Criteria (LETCSA) › Section 139-12-010 - Purpose

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
In 2015 the U.S. Department of Justice issued a final report
				from the 21st Century Task Force on Policing. A core focus of that report
				addressed strategies for improving relationships, increasing community
				engagement, and fostering cooperation. The report recommended clear and
				comprehensive policies on the use of force, training on the importance of
				de-escalation, crisis intervention and mental health, the provision of first
				aid, and recommended external and independent investigations in officer
				involved shootings resulting in injury or death. Initiative 940 and SHB 1064
				incorporated those recommendations and these WACs implement the requirement of
				an independent investigation that is completely independent of the involved
				agency. The goal of this requirement is to enhance accountability and increase
				trust to improve the legitimacy of policing for an increase in safety for
				everyone.
Ultimately, this is about the sanctity of all human life; the
				lives of police officers and the lives of the people they serve and protect.
				The preservation of life should be at the heart of American policing.
				RCW
				9A.16.040 provides a legal justification for
				officers whose use of deadly force meets the "good faith" standard.
				RCW
				10.114.011 requires that where the use of
				deadly force by a peace officer results in death, substantial bodily harm, or
				great bodily harm an independent investigation must be completed to inform any
				determination of whether the use of deadly force met the good faith standard
				established in
				RCW
				9A.16.040 and satisfied other applicable laws
				and policies. The independent investigation is a criminal investigation and
				state law requires an "independent investigation" completely independent of the
				involved agency.
Reviser's note:
The brackets and enclosed
				  material in the text of the above section occurred in the copy filed by the
				  agency and appear in the Register pursuant to the requirements of
				  RCW
				  34.08.040.
Washington Administrative Code › Title 139 - Criminal Justice Training Commission › Chapter 139-12 - Law Enforcement Training and Community Safety Act-Independent Investigations Criteria (LETCSA) › Section 139-12-030 - Independent investigation criteria

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
There are five principles that are fundamental to enhancing
				public trust in the integrity of independent investigations involving police
				use of deadly force:
* Independence;
* Transparency;
* Communication;
* Credible process; and
* Credible investigators.
Standards are necessary for the involved agency and the public
				to assess whether the actions taken by the IIT are independent, transparent,
				credible, and communicated in a manner that results in a compliant and complete
				investigation and builds public trust.
(1)
Independence.
(a) Independence is essential to the
			 integrity and objectivity of the investigation. Maintaining independence is
			 achieved through compliance with rules and regulations designed to prohibit
			 undue influence, and the appearance of undue influence, by the involved agency
			 in the investigation.
(b) Standards
			 for an investigation completely independent of the involved agency:
* Once the involved agency personnel and/or other first
				responders have rendered the scene safe and provided or facilitated life-saving
				first aid to persons at the scene who have life-threatening injuries, the
				involved agency will immediately call the IIT. Then the primary focus of the
				involved agency shifts to the protection and preservation of evanescent
				evidence in order to maintain the integrity of the scene until the IIT arrives.
				Once the IIT arrives, and the IIT commander has the appropriate resources on
				scene, the involved agency will relinquish control of the scene to the
				IIT.
* No member of the involved agency may participate in any way
				in the investigation of police use of deadly force conducted by the IIT, with
				the following exception:
* Specialized equipment belonging to the involved agency may
				not be used by the IIT unless: 1 - no reasonable alternative exists; 2 -the
				equipment is critical to carrying out the independent investigation; and 3 -
				the use is approved by the IIT commander. If the equipment is used, the nonlaw
				enforcement community representatives on the IIT must be notified about: 1 -
				why it needs to be used; and 2 - the steps taken to appropriately limit the
				role of any involved agency personnel in facilitating the use of that
				equipment.
* No information about the ongoing independent investigation of
				police use of deadly force will be shared with any member of the involved
				agency. The administrative investigation of the involved agency must remain
				separate from the independent criminal investigation.
* If the chief or sheriff of the involved agency requests that
				the IIT release the body cam video or other investigation information of urgent
				public interest, the IIT commander should honor the request with the agreement
				of the prosecutor of jurisdiction.
