We are partnering with FW retailers to make a positive difference for our business community. As a City, we are taking a stronger stance on retail crimes and safety. Major projects such as Light Rail and The Commons will significantly bring more visitors and residents to our downtown area. In 2022 we will add 13 new police officers, which allows us to create a bicycle unit (enhancing SOU) to patrol the downtown core. Until those positions are hired and trained, we are using special emphasis patrols and SRO in the summer months. NO pEoz-x0� � RetailInitiative(cont'd) 1 We conduct regular special emphasis patrols in known problem locations on Pacific Hwy S. and 21St and SW Campus. With loss prevention personnel, we have conducted "shoplifting sting" operations. Enforcing trespass laws & illegal encampments initiative Emphasis patrols by the Special Operations Unit (SOU). The Commons/Mall Officers Also, we conduct high visibility special emphasis patrols during the holiday season to support our business community, and to protect our residents and visitors. 19 Federal Way Police 04��oF�fc� Shoplifting Reported Incidents February 1, 2021— February 11, 2022 bERAY.`�� ADLl�Y' _ Q a v homas Jefferson High School see+h s+ z s�ea,ns AsT s a9a,n sP Federal Way High School Lakeland :- North SIPs2,n St F - 4 2 Point fuse Dash Point State Park i f s �W kh N°"h� 3 9 gi d � •S]ldh:h 18 - Pacific Oonsa UM 5 = ds v�tn st a18ay ak m «wmiwnHF West Wella dsePark B�vnns� H O t�V 3S6�ry 9i NORTHEAST TACOMA sm�.ns °ark Wild Waves Theme and Water Park - Lakeland South lium High School )rt9 Fife Heights , Qo4�� oF�fc�� bERAO l Federal Way Police Shoplifting — Density Map February 1, 2021— February 11, 2022 Q S212-J si .z�`. a as Jefferson High School S�E9115+ 2 l 9s In Federal Way High School salons, Lakeland - North ® 3 u svr.nzns Dash Point _ i 5'/1-M42- wns Point Cash Point $ ghthouse ® Stale Park Park 4 rs 4 Pacific B a a' cement say West Hyle Wetlands P > SV l56'ns NORTH CAS TACOMA sasans :hinese ation Park Wild Waves Theme n -pools and Water Park Lakeland South im f Stadium High School d 3eaporl4 Fife Heights 4o41C,� OF�fc�� bERAO sm s� iy `s.

In 2021, Washington legislature passed ESB 5476, which essentially de -criminalized possession of dangerous drugs (including heroin, cocaine, meth, Fentanyl and so forth). Drug use is more rampant and blatant than ever. Previously, physical arrest initiated a process in which courts could compel treatment. Now, police officers are virtually prohibited from making arrests for drug use or possession — two warnings must be given. Fatal overdose is an increasing plague to Washington's communities. 27 Q�yl�'t OFF�� 2022 Goals Objectives ��ERAL�p� ADLIG� 1 Provide for a safer community by having a positive impact on the Index and Quality of Life crimes.
