Partnering with federal agencies (FBI, ATF, & DEA) with
Criminal Investigations Unit.
DEA/VNET Task Force
SIU/SOU Sting Operations
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.
We had recent success reducing crime on Pacific Hwy between
330t" and 336t", expanded now to other parts of Pacific Hwy
and S. 320th.
Problem -Oriented Policing (POP) Projects
Plan for Addressing Crime (cont'd)

Lodging Licensing Ordinance for Hotels and Motels
Police Reform Laws (HB 1310 & HB1054; HB 2037, HB 1735, HB
1719, HB 1788, & SB 5919)
In Washington, auto theft increased 50%from 2,141 (Jan -Jul)
per month to 3,209 (Aug -Dec) per month
Enforcing trespass laws &illegal encampments initiative
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.

Reduce Dependency on Drugs
• Significant number of crimes have a nexus to drugs.
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.
