Hi folks,</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It looks like we may have a lot of new members joining us this week. So, welcome! We have quite a bit of work to discuss, so we'll probably have to keep introductions short and sweet :)</div>
<div>

It has been an extraordinary and historic week. We'd like to take some time at our Thursday meeting to process some of the emotions and events. Please email <a href="mailto:nextstepswa@gmail.com">nextstepswa@gmail.com</a> if you need the Zoom link.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, this week we will start by saying their names. Those of you who have participated in the Not This Time meetings will be familiar with this.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>BUT</b> it turns out Zoom (and all of these virtual platforms) does not work well for the traditional call and response format, due to delays in the audio feed.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>SO</b> we will modify this as follows:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>The meeting will begin with Annalesa reading the list of names of the loved ones who have been shot by police.
We'll start with George Floyd, to acknowledge his life, his sacrifice and his impact. Then she will read the names of those who have been killed by police here in WA State since Jan 1 2020.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b>If you would like her also to include the name of a loved one important to you, please send us that name.</b></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>This will be followed by a moment of silence.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
We would then like to go around the "room" to give each person a chance to share their thoughts, if they wish to.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are many other action items in process that we can discuss as time and interests allow.</div>

We will be conducting our weekly Thursday night meetings online for the duration of the Coronavirus epidemic. Even as WA State begins to dial back the social distancing restrictions, we will meet online in order to keep our more vulnerable members safe.<br />
<br />
We are trying out different apps during this time to get a sense of how well each one meets our needs (or doesn't).

<h2>
Independent Investigation resources</h2>
The Independent Investigative Teams (IITs) that are intended to fulfill the requirements of I-940 will be set up in <i>15 regions across the state</i>. If we want to monitor the progress of setting up these IITs, we need to know where they are, and who is staffing them.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The current map of these 15 IIT regions is on the google drive <b><a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Xpw5bAB7x76zzRJ5Ph0Yw7Jot5J6Z2lq" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">HERE</span></a></b></li>
</ul>
<br />
<h2>
Training resources</h2>
The "Basic Law Enforcement Academy" training required for every law enforcement officer in WA State consists of a 720 hour syllabus. If we want to monitor <i>how</i> training is changing to meet the new requirements of I-940, we should compare the current syllabus to the changed syllabus.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The current syllabus (as of Jan 2019) is on the google drive <span style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;"><a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1YfY4ZhSL3UZUyOnBCGSBqB20fxvYTFaW" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">HERE</span></a> </span>(from the CJTC <a href="https://www.cjtc.wa.gov/docs/default-source/curricula/blea-720-hour-core-block-syllabus-(rev-01-07-19).pdf?sfvrsn=276c3f91_4" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">website</span></a>)</li>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Next week (Th 2/14/2020) we will be educating ourselves about the I-940 law as it stands now. The formal title of I-940 is the </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2f2f2f; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.4px;"><b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Law Enforcement Training and Community Safety Act (LETCSA)</span></b><span style="font-family: inherit;">, </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2f2f2f; font-family: inherit; letter-spacing: 0.4px;">and the implementation regulations are now part of the</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2f2f2f; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.4px;"> <b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Washington Administrative Code (WAC).</span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We will be reading through the official document, the LETSCA WACs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you're feeling ambitious, grab a copy from the links below, and study it. But we will plan to read through it, line by line, at the meeting, so we can all get to know what we are working with in the year ahead.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You can get the official copy of the LETSCA WACs online at: </span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">The online version of the <a href="https://apps.leg.wa.gov/wac/default.aspx?cite=139-12" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #990000;">Washington Administrative Code</span></b></a></span></li>

</ul>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">But for an <b>easy to ready copy</b> of that official WAC, try <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zRi_-vCcnbw2jMJnXp1Hpyov0zLCyrU0/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #990000;">this file</span></b></a> on the NextStepsWA google drive.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre;">There are lots of activities starting up in this next phase of the process, as the new regulations begin to be </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre;">implemented on the ground. Examples include:</span><br />
<br />
Legislation to require data collection</div>

<br />
Strategies for ensuring that the 39 prosecutors across the state begin to act on the new authority and responsibility that I-940 gives them to prosecute officers whose use of deadly force does not meet the new good-faith standard.</div>

<br />

This contract is being re-negotiated now because it was found to be out of compliance with the Consent Decree.

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>(4) King County Office of Law Enforcement (OLEO)</b></span><br />
This is another opportunity to get involved locally, learn about the operation of the King County Sherrif’s office, and support the office that provides civilian oversight. There are several upcoming presentations to King County Council where public attendance and comment are needed. Having strong turnout will demonstrate to the Sheriff's Office and King County Council that the public is paying attention and wants accountability. It will also demonstrate to the impacted families that they have support. Meetings of the King County Council's Law & Justice Committee will be chaired by brand new Councilmember Girmay Zahilay. These presentations will be among the first meetings he presides over in his new role.<br />

<b>February 25, 2020 at 9:30 AM at King County Courthouse, 516 3rd Ave Seattle 10th Floor</b><br />
OLEO will present report to Law & Justice Committee on<br />
<a href="https://www.kingcounty.gov/depts/sheriff/about-us/manual.aspx">KCSO’s revised policies for reviewing shootings and other critical incidents</a> (see Chapter 6 of linked General Orders Manual).<br />
<br />
These are the review processes for administrative investigations, not criminal/I940.<br />
<br />
Administrative investigations are important because they determine violations of policy, training, whether the officer will be disciplined or fired, etc.<br />
<br />
Problems with the new policy include that they will not interview involved officers after incidents (written statement within 48 hours instead); in reviewing the case they ask very limited questions about whether force was justified; and inadequate access for oversight.<br />

<span style="text-indent: -36pt;"> </span>Charleena’s case is one of the first to go through the new revised King County inquest process. There will be a set of pre-inquest hearings to determine procedures and evidence that will be allowed before the actual inquest happens. As with all of these legal processes, it is very important that we show up to shed some sunlight on the process, and to support the family.<br />
