Since 1890, the courageous men and women of the Kirkland Fire Department have been working to provide emergency care to those who live, work and play in Kirkland. Much has changed since the beginnings of our Fire Department, but one thing that hasn't changed is our commitment to serve others.

Over the years, our citizens and elected leaders have remained committed to making invest-ments in providing top notch fire engines, aid units, protective equipment, facilities and training to ensure that our commitment to serve can be carried out quickly and safely. Our community is safer today because of the cumulative dedica-tion and foresight of those decisions both past and present. Today, 106 firefighters wear a patch on their shoulder that reminds them of the faith and trust that has been bestowed upon each one of us. It's a symbol of our commitment to excel-lence that we take very seriously.

With City Council support, that commitment continues into 2018 with the renovation of aging Fire Station 25 on Finn Hill, in the acquisition of land for a new Fire Station on 100th Avenue NE and NE 132nd Street, and the plans to relocate

Fire Station 27 in Totem Lake east of l-405. In addition, the department is looking at the reno-vation of Fire Station 22 in Houghton, Fire Station 26 on Rose Hill, and Fire Station 21 in Forbes Creek. When complete, these and other system enhancements will help ensure that the Kirkland Fire Department can withstand a natural disaster and maintain a deployment model that effective-ly serves all portions of our growing community.

The dedicated professionals of the Kirkland Fire Department are devoted to your safety and well being. Whether assigned to work in admin-istrative support, Emergency Medical Services, Training or the Fire Prevention Office; on a fire truck or within the Office of Emergency Manage-ment, the men and women of the Kirkland Fire Department are here, always, to serve you.

- Joseph Sanford, Fire Chief, Kirkland Fire Dept.

STATION 25 REMODELIn October of 2017 the City of Kirkland began to remodel Station 25. Crews were temporarily relocated to Station 24 at 8411 N.E. 141st Street. The City of Kirkland allocated $ 3million for Sta-tion 25 improvements.

Station 25, built in 1974, and was not construct-ed to current seismic standards. The station has been upgraded to add bracing and reinforcing to better withstand an earthquake.

As the risk to firefighters from pathogens and carcinogens has become better understood, new ideas for storage of dirty firefighting gear, ve-hicle exhaust systems, and isolation areas have become industry standards. The new Station 25 embraced these new standards and will help protect our firefighters’ health and wellbeing.

The remodel expands the footprint of the build-ing to accommodate improved travel paths with the crew’s working and living areas. The remodel replaces all electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems and provides durable, long-lasting finishes. Crews are expected to re-occupy Station 25 in August of 2018.

Crews are expected to re-occupy Station 25 in July of 2018.

Basic Life Support (BLS) Transport User Fee ProgramOn March 1, 2011 the Kirkland Fire Department began its Basic Life Support (BLS) Transport User Fee Program. The Program was established to cre-ate a sustainable revenue source to support essen-tial emergency medical services. Revenue from the BLS transport user fee has helped cover the cost of providing emergency medical service to the Kirk-land community. Without this new revenue the Fire Department would have needed to reduce service levels. The user fees are currently used to maintain service levels; in the future, fees will be used to im-prove service, reduce response times, and provide greater EMS resources to the community.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE

ATTACHMENT 1

1717

Emergency Response 17

OPERATIONS OVERVIEW

Kirkland Fire’s Operations Division is responsible for ensuring that our people and equipment are ready to safely and effectively respond to 911 calls. This response capability is maintained by a minimum of 20 Firefighter/Emergency Medical Technicians who are on-duty around the clock, responding from five fire stations within the City of Kirkland.

The Kirkland Fire Department (KFD) is part of King County Zone 1, one of three fire zones de-fined in King County’s Comprehensive Emergen-cy Management Plan (the other two fire zones include Zone 3, which encompasses communi-ties in south King County, and Zone 5 which encompasses the City of Seattle). In addition to training together, Zone 1 agencies work seam-lessly across municipal boundaries to provide service to the region’s citizens. This cooperation is supported through our interaction with NOR-COM, the 911 dispatch center for Zone 1 located in Bellevue.

Calls for emergency medical services (EMS) continued to account for the largest percent-age of KFD emergency responses in 2017. Our EMS capabilities, which in 2017 included the deployment of Naloxone (Narcan) to counter the effects of opioid overdoses, are enhanced by King County’s Medic One paramedic providers in Redmond, Shoreline, and Bellevue. In addi-tion to EMS, Kirkland Fire maintains “all-hazards” response capabilities that match the risks in our community. In addition to fire suppression, these capabilities include technical rescue disciplines such as high angle rope rescue; confined space, trench, motor vehicle, and collapse rescue; haz-ardous materials response; and water rescue.

ATTACHMENT 1


The Kirkland Fire Department Training Division is staffed by a Battalion Chief, a Captain and an Office Specialist. KFD Training is responsible for all training activities: scheduling, coordinating, delivery and record keeping for fire suppres-sion, rescue, and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT).

In support of our training goals, Kirkland is an active member of the East Metro Training Group (EMTG). EMTG consists of eight local fire depart-ments: Kirkland, Bellevue,

Redmond, Mercer Island, Northshore, Wood-inville, Shore¬line, and Bothell. Participation in regional training creates efficiencies and cost savings in the delivery of training for our fire-fighters. Together, the combined departments of the EMTG provide safety and training to over five hundred firefighters across the Eastside.

Kirkland firefighters fill many different roles to protect the community. Firefighters are crossed trained in emergency medicine, auto extrica-tion techniques, rescue disciplines, fire control and suppression, safe responses to hazardous materials spills, water rescue and many other techniques in order to meet the needs of the community. Training all Kirkland firefighters for numerous emergencies is on ongoing and challenging. As changes to current standards by the Washington Administrative Code (WAC), the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) and the Federal Code Registry (CFR) are constantly altering training requirements, training staff are continuously revising and updating training pro-grams to meet new standards.

The steady growth of the city of Kirkland pres-ents numerous challenges for operations and training alike. New building designs, new construction methods, and increasing density combine to present unique problems for our firefighters. Staff will be making recommenda-tions in 2018 for improvements in the delivery of training and training facilities.

A majority of our training is conducted as part of the firefighter’s normal work day. Much of this training is overseen by the company officer as-signed to a crew or station. Training Division staff provide training in specialty topics or high risk, low frequency training such as live fire or auto extrication.

These topics are taught in formal courses con-ducted locally and regionally through¬out the year. This number does not represent the man-dated quarterly training or individual shift/crew training, which is scheduled automatically. Each month firefighters complete state and federal mandated training which is assigned by the Train-ing Division using shared websites. Much of this training is done together with the EMTG depart-ments.

Kirkland continues to be a leader in specialized technical training. This training includes Confined Space Rescue, Trench Rescue, Rope Rescue, and Water Rescue including rapid diver qualifications. In addition, Kirkland’s Hazardous Materials Re-sponse Team members complete a minimum of forty hours of required ongoing training per year.

TRAINING OVERVIEWATTACHMENT 1

1919


All Kirkland firefighters are required to maintain their EMT license. This is done through in-house training utilizing trained CBT (Competency Based Training) instructors, online lessons, and practical evaluations. In 2017, twenty firefighters attended the required instructor workshops. These instruc-tors were selected from all three shifts, seven per shift. In 2017 all firefighters whose EMT licenses were up for renewal were successfully re-licensed.

Kirkland conducted its fourth annual fire officer academy in 2017. This academy provides leader-ship training our officer require to be successful while handling emergency situations and day-to-day problem solving. The academy runs for three months and includes NFPA Fire Officer I qualifica-tions, simulated tactics labs, personnel manage-ment, communications, presentations, and custom-er service. Each academy culminates in a lieutenant level assessment center which serves as their final exam.

Firefighter health continues to be a major topic of discussion industry-wide. Kirkland continues to put emphasis on firefighter fitness training. The depart-ment realizes that fit firefighters can work more safely, recover more quickly, and are more efficient when working at an emergency scene. Further-more, firefighters suffering injuries are apt to heal more quickly, thereby returning to work sooner.

The Battalion Chief of Training also fills the role of department Health and Safety Officer. As the Safety Officer he/she is responsible for managing the Safety Committee. All accidents and near misses are reviewed for areas of possible improvement or alteration of operations to minimize the chance of accident or injury. Additionally, the Safety Officer is dispatched to working structure fires and significant incidents when crews are working in dangerous situations or atmospheres.

TECHNICAL RESCUETECHNICAL RESCUE 2017Kirkland Fire Department has been the lead agency for the Zone 1 Technical Rescue Opera-tions Group since 1999. This group was formed by an Inter Local Agreement (ILA) to coordinate resources and responses between nine fire de-partments in North East King County. Battalion Chief Bill Hoover has been the training and coor-dination lead for the group since 2016.

The Technical Rescue Operations Group coordi-nates the instruction and scheduling of training in each of the following disciplines: Rope Rescue; Confined Space Rescue; Trench Rescue; Struc-tural Collapse Rescue; and Vehicle & Machinery Rescue, all of which have been provided to the residents of Kirkland for decades.

Classes are held at various locations on the Eastside and attended by firefighters from as far away as Alaska and Montana. Each discipline re-quires a 40 hour class that is both physically and mentally challenging.

In addition to the initial training, all rescue tech-nicians attend annual refresher training in each level of certification. Annual refresher training is required by both the Washington State Adminis-trative Code (WAC) and the National Fire Protec-tion Agency (NFPA).

Kirkland Fire has 32 technicians who respond to calls for service primarily while assigned to Ladder 27 in the city’s Totem Lake Station (Sta-tion 27). Also housed at this station is “Collapse 27,” a trailer-based tool and equipment cache that is specifically suited for structural collapse response due to earthquakes, explosions, or other physical damage to a structure that ne-cessitates an emergency response.

Kirkland Fire Department, in partnership with King County EMS and Redmond Fire Depart-ment, provides Basic Life Support (BLS) and Ad-vanced Life Support (ALS) medical care citywide. Redmond Fire Department paramedics are the primary ALS providers for the City of Kirkland. Supported by the King County Medic One levy, King County EMS provides a countywide Para-medics services.

Kirkland firefighters are cross trained as Wash-ington State Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs). Kirkland EMTs respond to less urgent, or BLS calls, such as a fractured leg or diabetic emergency.

In life-threatening situations, such as cardiac arrest, paramedics from Redmond Fire Depart-ment respond alongside our Firefighter/EMTs to provide (ALS) services.

A core service of KFD is transporting patients to area hospitals. Once a patient is stabilized by the firefighter/EMT and paramedics, and further medical attention is needed, patients are trans-ported by either Paramedics or by Kirkland Fire aid units.

Kirkland firefighter/EMTs complete Competency Based Training (CBT) annually. Training top-ics range from high performance CPR skills to administering of Epinephrine, splinting broken bones, or complex rescue and medical based simulations.

ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT

Eastside Hazardous Materials Response TeamThe Eastside Hazardous Materials Response Team (EHMT) is part of the Eastside Hazardous Materials Consortium. The Consortium consists of hazardous materials technicians from Eastside Fire & Rescue, Bellevue, Redmond, Woodinville, Kirkland, Duvall, and Bothell fire departments and maintains equip-ment and personnel to staff two hazardous ma-terials units in King County Zone 1: the northeast section of King County, Washington.

The training and skills acquired by the Hazardous Materials Team Technicians provide expertise in several hazmat areas such as hazard pre-planning, chemistry, event mitigation, hazard analysis, and decontamination. The technicians train to the Na-

tional Fire Protection Agency 472 Standard and are proficient in recognizing chemical, biological, nuclear, radiological, and ex-plosives events, in addition to a variety of fixed-use facility and transportation haz-ards.

Each jurisdiction trains its Hazardous Materials Technicians, and in addition, the entire of team trains on a quarterly basis.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALSWork Plan DevelopmentThe 5-year Zone 1 Hazardous Materials Work Plan is based on strategies and objectives iden-tified in the following:

� Zone 1 Hazardous Materials Strategic Plan 2017-2022

� Zone 1 Hazmat Capital Expenditures Plan 2012-2031

The work plan reflects progress of goals and ob-jectives from the Zone 1 Hazmat Strategic Plan as well as forecasting strategic priorities within the Zone 1 Hazmat Capital Plan.

The Zone 1 Hazmat Fire Chiefs unanimously approved the 2017 amended budget. They also unanimously approved the 5 year Strategic Plan and agreed to the addition of two F550 Hazmat Units, new SCBA's and new IMS instrumenta-tion.

Kirkland Hazmat team members also conduct a variety of services for the Kirkland Fire Depart-ment. These include:

1. Operations Training for all fire department personnel

2. Maintenance of KFD hazard monitoring equipment.

- 5 gas monitors - Radiation monitors - CO monitors3. Coordination between the KFD and the Kirk-

land Public Works Spill Response Unit

4. Active Shooter Training, and MCI/terrorism training

5. Special events monitoring

6. Providing Zone 1 recruit academy hazardous materials operations training

The Eastside Hazmat team in 2017 made great strides forward, making improvements to its response capabilities, replacing equipment, conducting specialized training in a variety of areas, and developing relationships with our federal and state partners that conduct hazmat operations.

Training is provided by local jurisdictions' Sub-ject Matter Experts (SME's), Regional training partners, Federal Agencies, and through public-private partnerships with the communities we serve. Some of the training partners with the Eastside Hazmat Team are:

� Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Seattle Office

� WA State Department of Ecology � US Army National Guard, 10th Civil

Support Team (CST) � East Metro Training Group (EMTG) � Dave Kummerlowe, CADRE, Inc.

Training consists of a variety of topics which completes required objectives mandated by CFR 1910.120 for Hazardous Materials Response, Technician level. Some of the required training topics include, but are not limited to:

� Chemical Emergencies � Biological Emergencies � Clandestine Laboratories � Hazardous Materials Transportation

Incidents � Hazard Pre-planning � Tier 2 Reporting � Chemistry � Event Mitigation � Hazard Analysis � Decontamination

WATER RESCUEIn 2017 the Water Rescue Team responded to over 43 water related emergencies ranging from swimmers in distress, sinking vessels, and boating accidents to water related emergency mutual aid requests from neighboring jurisdictions. For the third year in a row the Kirkland Fire Department did not have a single water related fatality. Five victims saved were perilously close to death but, due to the quick actions by responding crews along with top of the line equipment, they are alive today. Kirkland continues to be the regional leader for water rescue providing Operations level as well as Rescue Swimmer level courses to fire departments across the state. Over one hundred forty individuals took part in these classes taught by Kirkland Fire’s twelve water rescue instructors.A special thanks to our water rescue instructors. These personnel were responsible for writing policies; developing and delivering training; creating response plans; and ensuring that the water rescue craft and equipment were appropriately maintained and operationally ready.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENTPERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) PROGRAM:Kirkland Fire is currently only one of two fire departments in the United States that holds an NFPA Independent Service Provider (ISP) certification, which allows trained personnel to perform any inspection or repair to the 3,400+ pieces of Fire Department Personal Protective Equipment. Over four thousand repairs to zippers, vapor barriers, Kevlar shells etc. were performed in 2017. The cost savings for these inspections and repairs had a net total of over $103,000 dollars for the City of Kirkland. Additionally, the PPE team continued the tradition of repairing bunker gear during new recruit academies for surrounding jurisdictions. These outside agencies were then billed for the services provided. This helped keep our recruit academy flowing while also generating additional revenue for the City of Kirkland.Two PPE specialists who were brought onto the team in 2016, Firefighters Jesse Disch and Kent Moffitt, completed their yearlong training in 2017. Part of this

training included a 5 day class taught by the gear manufacturers which took place in Georgia, New Hampshire and also Maine, and was attended by PPE Specialists Lieutenant Justin Becker and Firefighters Cliff Oleszko, Jesse Disch and Kent Moffitt. In October one repair specialist, Jesse Disch, was flown back to the Globe manufacturing plant in New Hampshire to receive additional repair training for new fabrics being introduced in 2018. The PPE team’s two advanced sewing specialists (Firefighters Cliff Oleszko and Jesse Disch) created SCBA bottle carrying straps, custom Bunker Gear flashlight holders, rescue saw webbing slings, Large Diameter Hose (LDH) securing straps for frontline apparatus, and SCBA mask bags to better protect our breathing apparatus. All of these items were made using recycled fire hose, pockets from decommissioned bunker gear and OOS backboard strap webbing.

Community Risk Reduction 33

The Kirkland Bureau of Fire Prevention currently has five staff members: The Fire Marshal, one Assistant Fire Marshal and three Fire Inspector/Investigators.The Bureau’s mission is to create a safe envi-ronment for our residents and our business community. We strive to prevent injury and loss of life and property.

Fire Prevention ensures that all development projects in the city meet the applicable life safety and City of Kirkland municipal codes. Kirkland Fire Department personnel strive to keep the community safe through the follow-ing activities:

� Plan review and permit issuance for new construction and fire protection systems

� Inspections of new construction and fire protection systems

� Issuance of operational permits for activities regulated by the International Fire Code

� Annual fire safety inspections in existing buildings

� Code and policy development and interpretation

FIRE PREVENTION BUREAU HIGHLIGHTS

In addition to new construction activities, the Bureau supervises a Fire Investigation Team. Our team is comprised of the Fire Marshal, five Fire Investigators, and one Police Depart-ment Fire Investigator. The investigation team investigates fires within the city to determine the cause and origin.

In addition to working on construction projects citywide, Fire Prevention staff continue to work on two of the largest construction endeavors in Kirkland’s history. Both the developments, Kirk-land Urban and the Mall at Totem Lake, con-tinue to progress. Lieutenant Jason Chappell leads the fire plan review team for the projects and is assisted by fire protection engineers from Aegis engineering. Work is expected to continue for several more years.

Fire Plan Review of New ConstructionFire Prevention personnel check plans to determine compliance with the International Fire and Build-ing Codes as well as all local codes, ordinances, standards and regulations. This includes plan review of building sites for adequate fire department access, hydrant locations, and adequate fire flow, as well as fire protection systems such as fire sprinkler and alarm systems. Fire Prevention personnel work closely with the Kirkland Building Services Division, as well as other City Departments, to ensure comprehensive and consistent enforcement of the International Codes and the Kirkland Municipal Code.

Fire Inspections of New ConstructionOnce permits are issued, Fire Prevention personnel perform inspections to ensure that the required fire protection features are installed correctly and as designed. Just as during the plan review process, we work cooperatively with the Building Division and other City departments such as Public Works to ensure a seamless inspection process for the developers and contractors.

Issuance of Operational (IFC) PermitsSome activities have the potential to create a hazard to the public, and therefore require an Opera-tional Permit to be issued. Typically, operational permits are required for fireworks displays, hazardous materials, tents, bonfires, hot work and a variety of other hazardous activities.

Annual Fire Safety Inspection ProgramFire Prevention personnel are responsible for man-aging the annual fire safety inspections program for existing buildings. You will see firefighters in Kirkland conducting these inspections, in order to discover and correct any conditions liable to cause a fire or life safety hazard. The recognized standard for inspection frequency is annual inspection of all busi-ness and hazardous occupancies. Currently our goal is to meet a two year cycle. Alternate programs such as self-inspection programs for low risk occupancies are being examined for applicability.

Fire InvestigationsThe Fire Prevention Bureau is mandated to conduct fire investigations to determine origin and cause of all fires which occur within the City of Kirkland. Fire Investigators work closely with the Kirkland Police Department in the event that a fire is suspicious or is determined to be arson.

All investigators are trained to national standards, attending the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, Maryland, gaining certification through the Washing-ton State Patrol, and Accreditation from the Interna-tional Association of Arson Investigators (IAAI). Kirk-land is an active member of Zone 1 Fire Investigators and Zone 1 Fire Marshals.

Code and Policy Development and PublicationThe Fire Marshal is responsible for developing and publishing policies related to established fire prevention goals. These policies are tech-nical in nature and geared towards assisting developers and contractors in site and system design. In addition, the Fire Marshal is responsi-ble for code and policy interpretations. The Fire Marshal also coordinates with Fire Marshals in neighboring jurisdictions so that, as much as possible, code interpretations and require-ments are standardized throughout the region.

GOALS for the Future � An independent review of the department

highlighted the value of routine fire and life safety inspections in businesses and hazardous occupancies. Goal: Meet recog-nized inspection frequency standards.

� Sprinklers in single family homes are proven to save lives and reduce the tax and insurance burden on communities. The cost of these systems have consistent-ly dropped year over year. Goal: Adopt an ordinance requiring residential fire sprin-klers in all new single-family homes.

� In 2010, funding was cut to several edu-cational programs. Goal: Hire a public educator to develop, support, and manage a city wide fire and life safety campaign.

Office of Emergency Management 37

2017 was a year of transition for the Office of Emergency Management (OEM). Deputy Chief Helen Ahrens-Byington returned to the role of Emergency Manager in March and hired Heather Kelly as part of the emer-gency management team.

The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) was reorganized to establish a higher level of capa-bility and in 2018 the focus will be on training of City staff to support EOC activation.

With input and support of all City Departments, the City’s Continuity of Operations and Govern-ment Plan was created and approved by the City Council. This document will help the City maintain critical service delivery when disasters affect City operations.

The dedicated volunteers of Emergency Man-agement have been busy in 2017 as well. The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program held two six-week long classes to add an additional 50 CERT volunteers to the team of over 425 already trained. The group facili-tated over 15 public education sessions and staffed a preparedness booth at the Juanita Friday Market. The Map Your Neighborhood (MYN) program provided two training sessions,

adding 71 facilitators to the effort and now has 22 MYN locations in Kirkland. Great work and effort by volunteer community members.

The Kirkland Emergency Communications Team (KECT) held 6 Amateur Radio training classes, with 82 participants. In addition to basic classes, KECT also provided advanced level training opportunities. The team ended 2017 with 62 members of various skill levels, with a goal of reaching 100 members in 2018.

OEM promoted Preparedness Month in September, City and Community participation in the Great ShakeOut in October, and in No-vember, OEM facilitated a real time test of the Windshield Survey process. During this test Police, Fire, and Public Works crews drove critical routes within the City and reported simu-lated earthquake damage to the EOC through multiple communication methods, including the KECT. These projects are just some of the efforts the City is making to increase preparedness and response capability.

MEMORANDUM To: Kurt Triplett, City Manager From: Cherie Harris, Chief of Police Date: June 13, 2018 Subject: Crisis Intervention Team Recommendation: The Department will provide a synopsis and explanation of the use of a volunteer Mental Health Professional to the Public Safety Committee. Background: Patrol Officer frequently encounter subjects with mental and or emotional issues who are in crisis and their behavior alarms the public but is not considered a crime. While the Mobile Crisis Response team is a tool available to Patrol, there are times when the incident isn’t exactly a “crisis” or the Mobile Crisis Response team isn’t available. Mobile Crisis Response also doesn’t provide ongoing support after the “crisis”. The Department Strategic Plan identified the need to “Increase Department capacity and expertise for handling increasing behavioral and mental health challenges” in recommendation #31, page 44. It further stated in part: ”…Every indication is that the frequency with which the Department interacts with individuals with mental and behavioral health complications will increase. We recommend exploring other partnerships and potentially increasing in-house capacity and expertise…”. In December 2017, the Department began collaborating with a volunteer Mental Health Professional (MHP) in an effort to start a pilot “Crisis Intervention Team” program. The team consists of one patrol officer and one volunteer MHP, who work together one day a week when schedules and patrol calls for service allow. The Department has designated Officer Loraine Rohrback as a Crisis Intervention Team coordinator. Officer Rohrback attends the King County Regional Crisis Intervention Team meetings, provides suggestions on best practices for Department training, and collaborates with the volunteer MHP as well as other MHPs who work and train in the area. Officer Rohrback has a passion for CIT and has displayed a vested interest in developing a “cadre” of Officers with advanced training in crisis intervention and de-escalation. The goal is to begin building this cadre to include additional patrol officers, mental health professionals and local facilities in an effort to better address the needs of people in crisis.

She is also the primary MHP assigned to a MIDD grant through the King County Sheriff's office that is administered by the Shoreline Police Department (contract KCSO agency). Under an Inter local Agreement, (ILA). Ms. Kroll works with the Bothell Police Department and the Lake Forest Park Police Department as well. Kirkland is not an official ILA member of the King County MIDD grant. Suzie assists Patrol Deputies and Officers with crisis assessment, de-escalation, service referrals and case management. She is also a trained Hostage Negotiator and consults on behavioral health assessments, mental health issues, and crisis & commitment. Suzie is an instructor at the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission in the area of Crisis Intervention Training (CIT) related to Cultural Responsiveness and Behavioral Health and facilitates the CIT Service Providers & First Responders monthly meeting. Since December 14, 2017, MHP Kroll has logged approximately 180 hours of volunteer support with the Department. She and Officer Rohrback have made approximately sixty two (62) field contacts, not including consultation with other officers. When on duty, NORCOM is advised that Officer Rohrback has an MHP riding with her. Their focus is on: (1) responding to calls for service that have a mental or behavioral health aspect, including call types “mental/emotional,” “suicide,” and others where a mental health aspect is evident from call notes; (2) following up on referrals from Patrol, Detectives, and Command regarding subjects with mental health concerns who may benefit from contact and/or assistance in navigating resources and services; (3) following up with prior CIT contacts that require additional work/interactions; and (4) serving as a resource to departmental members on CIT-related matters such as Extreme Risk Protection Orders, Sheena’s Law Referrals for suicidal subjects not meeting involuntary criteria, and appropriate resources for a particular subject/situation. The team will also be assisting with upcoming CIT scenario-based training for the Department in June 2018. When not on duty, MHP Kroll is available to officers for consults by phone or email. The CIT team has been receiving positive feedback from Patrol to include:

The immediate access to an MHP. Knowledge and follow up with the “frequent flyers”, previous case reports, and ability to

seek a long term solution. The expertise MHP Kroll brings and her knowledge of resources available in the

community. The ability to refer subjects with mental health issues to a team that can address the

situation in a more holistic manner then a 911 call for service normally allows. The MHP’s additions to case reports are invaluable when an evaluation is being done.

This isn’t a local trend, Police nationwide are seeing an increase in crisis and mental health-related calls for service. These incidents are difficult to track and are often dispatched as a wide variety of call types such as medical issues, suspicious circumstances, suicidal subjects, mental/emotional subjects and or drug related to name a few. The below graphs depict two definitive categories of crisis calls that the Department is able to track:

ATTACHMENT 2

Due to the unpredictable nature of when and where a mental health crisis may occur, as of July 1, 2017, the State requires all full-time law enforcement officers receive a minimum of eight (8) hours of crisis intervention training (RCW 43.101.427). This training is incorporated into the basic training academy curriculum for both Police and Corrections Officers.

Post academy, all officers receive two hours of on-line crisis intervention training per year. All officers hired prior to July 1, 2017, will receive not less than eight hours of crisis intervention training by July 1, 2021. To date, all commissioned Kirkland Police Department officers meet the mandate of the RCW and many have taken additional training to include a 40 hour CIT class. Our officers are trained to respond to a crisis with compassion, to utilize appropriate communication/de-escalation and stabilization skills, and to work collaboratively toward an effective resolution.

The Department understands that CIT is more than just training. It is about utilizing skills learned to bridge the gap between police response and the mental healthcare system, and the ability to bring community resources together in order to build a positive outcome for interactions with those in crisis. The Department policy that drives the philosophy and response to such incidents spells out the collaboration that is necessary to be successful.

431.2 POLICY: The Kirkland Police Department is committed to providing a consistently high level of service to all members of the community and recognizes that persons in crisis may benefit from intervention. The Department will collaborate, where feasible, with mental health professionals to develop an overall intervention strategy to guide its members’ interactions with those experiencing a mental health crisis. This is to ensure equitable and safe treatment of all involved.

The following are a few highlights from the contacts made by Officer Rohrback and MHP Kroll: 12/21/2017 Patrol (night shift) referral for a mental/emotional subject who had called 911 over 95 times after midnight before ultimately being involuntarily taken to EGH for a mental health evaluation. MHP Kroll called EGH and learned she had since been discharged. Rohrback has also had previous contact with the subject. Attempted contact with subject at her condo (with Kroll, Rohrback, and Lansing), but no answer.

01/11/2018 After several follow up attempts (with the subject from 12/21/2017) and finding her not home, Rohrback and Kroll contacted a neighbor who reported not seeing her for some time, although her mother and father had been there. Rohrback contacted the subject’s parents by phone, and learned the subject has been in Fairfax since the night of over 95 calls to 911. She is anticipated to be released soon and will be moving directly to a condo in district 6. Address obtained and updated in the Department contacts. The parents are very eager to work with Kroll about how to help their daughter. 02/22/2018 MHP Kroll and Officer Rohrback responded to assist Officer Flynn on a call for service of a suicidal subject. The subject had locked herself in her apartment and was unwilling to let police inside. Police had received reports that she had taken pills and also had a realistic looking BB gun, which she planned to use to force a suicide by cop situation. MHP Kroll was able to establish rapport with the subject through the back slider and eventually talk her way and Officers’ inside. The situation later became increasingly complicated when the subject’s disabled adult child arrived home and kept trying to insert herself into the situation with a high level of fear and lack of understanding. MHP Kroll continued to work with Officer Flynn and others on scene, ultimately talking the unhappy, intoxicated and suicidal subject into cooperating with a mandatory trip to the hospital. An involuntary commitment for danger to self was necessary. Officer Rohrback and MHP Kroll went with Officer Flynn to Overlake ER for the involuntary commitment, where MHP Kroll provided a handwritten supplemental mental health affidavit to the social workers, in support of Officer Flynn’s involuntary statement. Officer Flynn told Officer Rohrback that MHP Kroll’s contribution was invaluable in getting police inside the residence and in gaining the subject’s eventual cooperation. Having a non-police presence, who could introduce herself as a counselor and be separate from the officer element, was critical. 04/23/2018 A young military veteran in crisis was interacting with law enforcement in Bothell, Kirkland, Port of Seattle and SeaTac. His parents were also fearful of their son. MHP Kroll had contact with him in Kirkland but he did not rise to the level of an involuntary commitment at that time. Shortly after that, he was contacted by Bothell Officers, again in crisis. He was a danger to others and himself but was very uncooperative with Bothell until they called in MHP Kroll who was able to convince him submit to being taken to Overlake Hospital. This was due to the rapport she had previously built with him on contacts in Kirkland. Further, MHP Kroll was able to coordinate with Detective Slominski to obtain Kirkland’s first Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) by augmenting the case with clinically relevant mental health information and assessment. This case included a number of follow up contacts by MHP Kroll and Officer Rohrback. 05/17/2018 Officer Pierce requested MHP Kroll and Officer Rohrback respond to assist with his call. A subject had been sending messages and tweets to members of the University of Oregon’s softball team, to include a photo of a rifle. There were concerns after the FBI had confirmed the photo was an original one (not a stock photo from the internet) and the subject’s father had allegedly said the subject fit the profile of a potential mass shooter. A University of Oregon Police Officer had requested the subject be served with a trespass warning letter for the school. After the scene had been determined to be safe (subject was unarmed), MHP Kroll and Officer Rohrback came into the house and spoke with him. The subject could not hold a very coherent conversation or answer questions in a manner making sense. He was not receiving mental

ATTACHMENT 2

health treatment. He did not have access to weapons. Despite clear mental health concerns, he did not meet involuntary commitment criteria. MHP Kroll obtained information from the subject and from his mother (he is an adult but resides with her) to assist with coordinating resources to get him into mental health services. Officer Rohrback was able to obtain the subject’s cooperation in going to Evergreen Hospital for a voluntary mental health evaluation. MHP Kroll then called ahead to Evergreen Hospital and spoke with the social workers, explaining the situation to them so that appropriate services would be made available. Conclusion: The move towards a Crisis Intervention Team serves to further supplement the Department’s response with a specialized approach and provides added support to first-responding officers before, during, and after any mental health crisis occurs. This team also supports families who may not know how to connect with services for their loved ones who are in crisis. The Team provides organizational and community intervention with enhanced police department procedures as well as collaboration with mental health providers and other community stakeholders, a core function of community oriented policing.

Notes from a selection of calls Animal Services responded to during the 2nd quarter:

#18-11993 ACO Matison received several emails about a female pit-bull running at large off of 128th AVE and showing signs of aggression towards the neighbors. King County Animal Control has responded to this residence before, as the dog was being kept in a garage with no bedding, water or food. ACO Matison spoke with the owner who stated she could no longer care for the dog. The owner released the dog to Kirkland Animal Control and she was taken to Everett Animal Shelter to be placed up for adoption.

#18-12490 ACO Matison responded to two dogs in a hot car at the Lake Washington Institute of Technology. The inside temperature of the vehicle was 96 degrees Fahrenheit and the dogs had no access to food or water. ACO Matison was able to contact the owner and issued her a written warning.

#18-13697 ACO Matison saw two dogs walking off leash on 103rd AVE NE with no owner. The two dogs went to a residence located at 12432 103rd AVE NE and into the back yard through an open fence gate. Matison spoke with the owner of the dogs who stated he forgot to close the fence gate. Matison gave him a verbal warning for dog at large.

#18-14058 ACO Matison received a complaint of an aggressive pit-bull type dog in the neighbor's backyard. The brown and white pit-bull was in the neighbor's backyard aggressively barking and lunging at the sliding glass door. The RP stated that this has been a continuing problem for the last two months where the dog jumps up and over the fence. Matison spoke with the owner of the home/ dog and informed him that the dog must be on leash when outside of the house. Furthermore, the owner received a civil infraction for vicious animal.

#18-14091 ACO Matison responded to a call for service regarding a dog attack of a small Pomeranian. A 16 year old female was walking her leashed small red Pomeranian, KoKo, down NE 134th ST at 92nd PL NE, when two dogs off leash charged at her and attacked the Pomeranian. The Pomeranian was pronounced deceased at a local veterinary clinic. The one of the attacking dogs was declared a dangerous dog and the owner complied fully with the Dangerous Dog requirements under the KMC.

#18-14390 ACO Matison picked up a stray pregnant orange cat and brought her to Seattle Veterinary Specialty. The pregnant cat was held on a 72 hour stray hold and

adopted to a new family. The cat ended up having seven kittens and all of them found new homes! This adoption was a significant savings to the City.

# 18-15954 ACO Matison received complaints about a young husky type dog being abused by a homeless male who was staying at a local church. Matison spoke with several individuals at the church who stated they saw the male hitting and kicking the dog, as it cried out in pain. Matison spoke with the male and informed him that hitting and kicking the dog could result in animal cruelty charges. The male surrendered the dog to ACO Matison. The dog was taken to Everett Animal Shelter and placed up for adoption.

#18-17574 ACO Matison received a call about a found small Chihuahua with a possible rear leg injury. Matison took the dog to a local veterinary clinic to have x-rays done and the veterinarian cleared the dog as healthy with a preexisting injury. The Chihuahua was later reunited with his owners.

#18-20846 ACO Matison responded to a call for a dog locked in a hot car that appeared to be in distress. Matison identified two large sheep dogs contained in crates with no access to food or water. Both dogs were panting heavily and the temperature inside the vehicle was measured to be 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The owner of the dogs finally came back to the vehicle after finishing up some shopping. Matison informed the owner that she would receive a civil infraction for Animal Cruelty under KMC 8.09 and recommended leaving her dogs at home when she goes shopping.

#18-120 ACO Matison was requested by the Washington State Gambling Commission to assist with search warrant for illegal cockfighting in Port Orchard. The property contained over 400 birds and approximately $300,000 in cash.

2018 Mid-Year Crime Summary

Murder: There were no murders in the first half of 2018.

Sex Offenses: This category includes crimes such as rape, child molestation, indecent liberties, and

voyeurism. There were 23 cases reported during the first half of this year which is down 2% from the

weighted average of the same period over the past six years.

Robbery: There were 8 robberies reported in the first half of 2018. This is the same number as the first half

of last year and down 10% over the weighted average of the same time over the past six years.

Aggravated Assault: There were 28 aggravated assaults in the first half of the year. This is up 65% over the

weighted average of the same time over the past six years. It is important to note that aggravated assaults

are not a frequent crime in Kirkland and fluctuations in small numbers can result in large percentage

changes. Despite the increase, we are still below the 2012 level.

Residential Burglary: There were 76 residential burglaries reported in the first half which represents a

decline of 19% from the weighted average of the past six years.

Commercial Burglary: We had 63 commercial burglaries in the first half which represents a 29% increase

from the weighted average of the same period over the past six years. This is slightly above the normal

range for this category. There were a number of thefts from vehicles and storage units in condo/apartment

garages which contributed to the increase in this category. Additionally, a series of "window smash" break

ins to small businesses is affecting the Eastside and is actively being investigated by multiple agencies.

Motor Vehicle Theft: There were 113 auto theft reports so far in 2018, representing an increase of 51%

from the weighted average of the same time over the previous six years. This is a record high for a six

month period and mirrors a dramatic increase in auto theft seen throughout the region.

car Prowl: There were 300 car prowls reported citywide in the first half of 2018, representing a 5% decrease from the weighted average over the same period for the past six years. Although prowls are now

down to 2015 levels, they continue to be a persistent crime throughout the city.

DUI: There were 113 DUI arrests made during the first half of 2018, reversing a six year downward trend.

Despite the uptick, this represents a 8% drop from the weighted average of the same time over the past six

years.

Collisions: 731 collisions were reported in the first half of 2018, a less than 1% decrease from the weighted

average of the same time over the past six years. Collisions in the city have held steady over the past seven

years.

On June 14th, Redmond Officers were involved in a shooting death of a subject at the Kingsgate Safeway.

The subject was a confirmed gang member and a convicted felon who had served both state and federal jail

sentences in California. Redmond had previously arrested the subject during an investigation in which he

admitted to selling pounds of illegal narcotics. At the time of the incident, Redmond had probable cause for

9 counts of identity theft, eluding and had identified over 60 other victims. Kirkland Detectives continue to

investigate.

On July 6th, three subjects were in an altercation at the Kingsgate Safeway. One subject, a convicted felon

with felony warrants fired a handgun during the altercation. This subject was later arrested and confessed

to the crime. He alleges, that the handgun was stolen from the subject who was the focus of Redmond PD's investigation.
