AIM Statistical Analysis for August 2011 

Every month, the performance metrics for the various units of SPD will be analyzed with 

software 1 to determine if there has been any statistical change in performance. If a unit’s 

metrics show no change that will simply be noted. However, if a change was noted, the graph 

will be attached along with a brief description of the metric in question. If a reason for the 

change is known, it will be noted. If the reason for change is unknown, further follow-up will be 

needed; results of that follow-up will be published the following month. 

Analysis Interpretation 

The statistical software uses graphs to indicate when a statistical change has occurred. It flags 

that change with a red box and a corresponding number. Please use the following graph as 

reference for a translation of the various numbers and what they mean. 

The green line indicates the average over the time frame displayed for the data set being 

measured. The two red lines represent three standard deviations both below and above the 

average. It is normal to have fluctuation over time; in general, a single data point within three 

standard deviations would be considered normal change (unless otherwise indicated). 

Please reference the following for an explanation of what the different numbered flags represent: 

1. One data point over three standard deviations from the average; 

2. Seven data points in a row on one side of average (over or under); 

3. Six data points in a row, either increasing or decreasing; 

4. Fourteen data points, alternating up and down; 

5. Two out of three data points in a row are above/below two standard deviations from average; 

6. Four out of five data points in a row are above/below one standard deviation from average; 

7. Fifteen data points in a row within one standard deviation from average; 

8. Eight data points in a row above/below one standard deviation from average. 

What does a standard deviation mean? When analyzing a data-set, it should be expected 

that there will be a varying range between different data points. Some data points are below 

average and some are above. Data that is within 1 standard deviation is representative of 

approximately 2/3 of the data; data that is within 2 standard deviations is representative of just 

over 95% of the data. The red lines in the above chart are the thresholds for 3 standard 

deviations from average for the data-set. This means 99.6% of the data falls between those two 

lines; this means it would be reasonable to expect the next data point to be within those lines 

almost 100% of the time. Therefore, any data above 3 standard deviations is an anomaly.

We will continue to monitor to ensure this metric returns to the average range; no further 

explanation is currently necessary.

Intersection Safety Program (Photo Red) 

There are two metrics for this program that have unexpected trends. The first is the Francis and 

NB Division Citations metric (please see graph on following page). The metric is trending up, 

Pg. 6


indicating citations at this intersection are actually increasing rather than the desired result of 

decreasing. While some of this data is affected by the temporary suspension in citations issued 

this summer due to a court ruling, which led to lower citation totals, this does not appear to be a 

significant factor. Reasons for this increase could be contributed to construction on Nevada, 

forcing drivers to use the Division corridor as an alternative. For next month, we will review 

traffic volumes to see if this could explain the increase.

The Francis and SB Division Citations metric is also trending up unexpectedly, though not as 

significantly as the northbound traffic. Likewise, the increased traffic volumes due to 

construction on Nevada could also be the cause for this increase. It will be reviewed along with 

the northbound traffic for next month.

K9 

The Patrol Dog Misdemeanor Finds was well above the level expected for August. Similar to 

the July report regarding Felony Finds, this could be the result of solid perimeter work by Patrol 

and Dispatch combined with the experience of the K9 units (both the dogs and their handlers). 

We will continue to monitor, but at this time no further explanation is necessary.

Neighborhood Resource Officer 

There were no unexpected anomlies for 

this unit for August. Follow-up was 

needed on Calls for Service (see thumbnail 

graph to right). Though NROs are not 

responsible as primary responders to 911 

calls, due to staffing shortages this 

summer, many NROs were responding to 

911 calls in order to ease the burden on

Training 

No data was available for January – August for the Training Center. They continue to redesign 

their metrics; the range metrics are complete and data is being collected, but the academy 

continues to work on theirs. Analysis will resume once data is submitted.

Collisions 

Follow-up is for the April 2011 data; as was reported in the July 2011 AIM report, multiple 

performance metrics regarding collisions continue to be well below average. This appears to be 

the result of law changes and subsequent driver behavior changes. We will continue to monitor. 

There is still a four month lag time in data entry, so follow-up for next month will be analysis of 

submitted data. 

Early Case Resolution 

Early Case Resolution (ECR) data was not available for July or August (data lags one-two 

months behind). However, analysis was completed for the first time since a six month dataset 

was collected to serve as a baseline. The one metric with multiple anomalies is the Cases Not 

Filed in 72 Hours (please see graph on following page). This is the most important metric for 

this program since the goal is to have all cases filed within 72 hours unless there is a specific law 

enforcement reason to delay filing charges with the court. 

The number of SPD cases not filed in 72 hours has been consistent for the March-June time 

frame. It was during the month of February that it was determined a process needed to be 

developed to explain why cases were not filed within 72 hours. Knowing the reason for the 

delay serves as a way to make changes so the appropriate cases are filed within 72 hours. This 

accountability tactic appears to have made a difference, since there has been this marked drop in 

cases not filed within 72 hours. Likewise, though not showing a statistically significant increase, 

the number of cases that are filed in 72 hours is steadily increasing (please see second graph on 

following page). We will continue to monitor these trends.

Department 2011 Crime Goals 

Pg. 12

Spokane Police Department 

2011 Vision: 

“Make Spokane the Safest City Our Size in America” 

The Spokane Police Department continues to work towards our vision of making Spokane the 

safest city our size (population 175,000 to 225,000) in America. To determine our success in 

this venture, we measure the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Part I 1 data law enforcement 

agencies report to the FBI. 

Since the 2010 data for our comparison cities will not be released by the FBI until mid-2011, a 

different approach must be used to measure our success at making Spokane safer. The following 

logic model demonstrates how SPD plans to achieve this vision: by focusing on repeat offenders 

we plan to reduce Vehicle Theft, Burglary, and Vehicle Prowling (a subset of the Larceny 

category) by 10% compared to the prior 5-year average.

As part of AIM, a monthly report card will be included to show the most recent UCR data for the 

three property crime categories as well as an update on drug supplier indictments. 

1 Part I crimes include Homicide, Forcible Rape, Robbery, Aggravated Assault, Burglary, Larceny, and Vehicle 

Theft. Arson is also a Part I crime, but as that is not tracked by SPD, that data is not analyzed.

Meeting Minutes – August 3 rd , 2011 

Operational AIM Meeting, Tuesday, 08/02/2011 

Attendance: Lt. Arleth, Lt. Arnzen, Lt. Dobrow, Lt. Mullennix, Lt. Richards, Lt. Torok, Lt. Walker, Sgt. Ervin, 

Sgt. Hendren, Kiley Friesen 

NOTE: In an effort keep the citizens of Spokane aware of recent SPD activities, this weekly report can be accessed 

on our website, http://www.spokanepolice.org, by clicking the “AIM” button towards the bottom of the page. 

WEEKLY UPDATE 

Ryan Shaw advised that there has been an increase in commercial burglaries, but no commonalities have been found 

between them. Of that increase, several of the burglaries have occurred in fenced yards. 

Residential and garage burglaries are within normal levels, but clusters of activity have occurred in Browne’s 

Addition, East Central, and Logan neighborhoods. 

A recent vehicle prowling incident was reported with three suspects and there were an additional six to seven 

prowlings that occurred in the same area. These suspects may be responsible for burglaries in the area as well. 

Ryan notified the group of a possible vehicle theft suspect in the Cannon Hill area that may be frequenting a house 

known for drug activity. He further advised that there have been several good arrests of vehicle thieves and those 

arrests may impact the weekly numbers. 

Investigations 

It was advised that one suspect arrested for burglaries in the 5 Mile/Indian Trail neighborhoods is out of jail. 

Detectives are continuing to investigate these cases and working closely with the PACT Teams. 

The Spokane Violent Crimes Gang Enforcement Team (SVCGET) advised that they have been mainly conducting 

surveillance in relation to a big case they are working on. 

The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) advised they served a search warrant at a known drug house for the fourth 

time since December 2010. This house is a long standing problem in the neighborhood. Entry to the home was done 

by SWAT. SCSO provided a cross trained drug dog to assist with the evidence search. The unit is also working on 

a possible marijuana grow. 

The Major Crimes Unit (MCU) has been working on a couple of DOA incidents as well as other routine cases. 

Patrol 

It was advised that fingerprints lifted from a soda can in relation to a trafficking in stolen property investigation were 

found to belong to a long time criminal who has also recently been tied to other cases via fingerprint matches found 

by the Forensic Unit. It was further advised that there has been a spike in stolen Saturn and Subaru vehicles. 

Information was exchanged between Patrol and Investigations to facilitate ongoing investigations. 

For Internal SPD use only – do not distribute. This document is confidential and may not be 

further disseminated or released to unauthorized persons pursuant to RCW 42.56.240.

NRO ROUND-UP 

Officer McIntyre – Nevada/Lidgerwood 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Working with neighbors who are complaining about drug activity 

A problem house has been reported as having continual short stay traffic and the renter is letting people 

squat at the location 

An eviction was complete, however there is a female who has admitted to using the location to bring her 

“Johns” to – anyone found at the location can be trespassed as the house is supposed to be empty 

Noise education letters were delivered to six locations 

Ongoing vandalism, harassment, and theft is occurring at an apartment complex – several neighbors are 

complaining and the suspects appear to live at the location as well 

A neighborhood dispute has escalated between two locations – one was cited by SpokAnimal for issues 

with their dogs – any contacts should be reported to Ofc. McIntyre 

Officer Thomas – Northeast 

 

Ofc. Thomas is working on five suspect drug houses 

Officer Taylor – Northwest

WEEKLY UPDATE 

Commercial burglaries are high – car washes are being targeted, as well as fenced yards. One subject who was 

involved in burglaries of car washes and soda machines may be a suspect in these more recent incidents as well. 

Residential burglary numbers are a little higher and may be attributed to a couple of suspects – the lower Cannon 

Hill and Browne’s Addition neighborhoods have been active. Browne’s Addition has also been active with garage 

burglary and vehicle prowling. A Patrol Sergeant took a report that identified two white males as being suspects. 

Vehicle theft numbers were low this week. The decrease could be attributed to several key arrests from last week. 

Vehicle battery thefts are still occurring. 

The lock boxes on houses that are for sale are getting cut off. Suspects are taking the key and returning to the house 

days later to steal items within the home. 

Capt. Scalise asked if there was any way to show the correlation in the data between arrested subjects and the drop 

in vehicle theft numbers. Ryan Shaw advised that this has been done in the past for another presentation. Scalise 

would like to have this to continue to show that officers are making an impact on the vehicle theft problem.

officers to believe the "manager" regularly manages to pocket the un-refunded monies and rent out the 

room again without his bosses knowing

WEEKLY UPDATE 

Ryan Shaw reported that vehicle prowling had a big spike this week and Crime Analysis has identified several 

possible suspects. One recently got out of prison, and he and his affiliate may be responsible for prowling activity in 

the downtown area. There were also some small pockets of activity in the northwest (Shadle) and northeast areas. 

The PACT Teams arrested two individuals for prowling and with those two key arrests hopefully there will be a 

decline in these numbers. Another suspect may be responsible for some activity in the Shadle and East Central 

neighborhoods. An RV was prowled in the area and copper wire was stolen. Two other possible suspects were 

recently contacted by law enforcement and they are known to hang out with other prowlers. 


On 8/22/11, TCU did another warrant hunt and other members of the USMS task force assisted as well – 

six arrests made

The PACT teams made several ROP arrests last week. The day shift PACT Team Sergeant attended the meeting 

and advised that his team arrested two subjects who were caught in a stolen vehicle. Officers were able to learn 

valuable information from them regarding their criminal activity. The Sergeant also advised that there have been 

several residential burglaries in the Indian Trail neighborhood. 

The Patrol Captain asked Crime Analysis to provide an Intel blast to Patrol Sergeants on possible vehicle prowling 

suspects to attack this vehicle prowling spike as it appears a small number of people are doing a large percentage of 

crime. The Captain also suggested that a PSA advising citizens how to keep their vehicles safe may be beneficial.

WEEKLY UPDATE 

Ryan Shaw reported that vehicle prowling numbers were still high this week. Two possible suspects identified last week 

are likely responsible for the big upswing in downtown vehicle prowls. Crime Analysis informed power shift patrol of one 

of the subjects who has an outstanding DOC warrant. The downtown bike patrol officers developed reliable information 

that the suspect was armed and dealing meth. Officers spent considerable time looking for him. A patrol sergeant did 

locate the subject in an alley, but he fled on his bicycle and officers were unable to catch him. The information and suspect 

description was passed onto other shifts. Ryan also contacted downtown NROs Redmon and Downing who advised that 

they have stopped the second subject several times on bikes, but none show to be stolen. 

The two suspects who were arrested by PACT last week for prowling are out of jail and will likely return to their previous 

activity. 

Due to the high activity in Indian Trail, a neighborhood meeting has been planned to address the issues. Possible suspects 

in the increasing burglaries have been identified and MOs of the incidents are being looked analyzed. 

Garage and residential burglaries also saw an increase this week. Most of the incidents were fairly spread out; however 

there was a cluster of them in West Central. Crime Analysis has not looked further into this increase; however, they did 

name possible suspects who have been known for this activity in the past. A citizen also notified Crime Analysis of an 

address where some of their stolen property was found. 


 

 

TCU has also been addressing the series of burglaries and related vehicle thefts in the Indian Trail area. At least 

two of the stolen cars have been set on fire and a detective is working these cases. 

There has also been a series of lockboxes broken from homes listed for sale and then the homes are subsequently 

entered. Frequently nothing is taken; however, a number of appliances have been stolen. Ryan Shaw advised that 

the county had several of these cases at the end of last year and beginning of this year, but they hadn’t seen 

appliances being stolen yet. 

For Internal SPD use only – do not distribute. This document is confidential and may not be further 

disseminated or released to unauthorized persons pursuant to RCW 42.56.240.

The WSP/SCSO fatal collision on Wandermere Bridge was submitted to the prosecutor 08/30/11. 

The case regarding the body found in the river two weeks ago is complete, and odds and ends are being done for 

the prosecutor. Possible charges of manslaughter, reckless endangerment, failure to render aid, and obstructing 

may be forthcoming. 

Detectives are continuing to follow up on the many leads and suspects in the recent homicide. Suspects have been 

eliminated and no arrests have been made at this time. A press release was sent out 08/29/11 with a still photo of a 

vehicle that was possibly related – that vehicle has since been identified and the investigation is continuing. 

It was also noted that on 08/30/11 there was a home invasion/stabbing and a fatal auto/pedestrian collision – click 

on either link for the full press release. 

Special Victims Unit (SVU) 

 

 

 

 

Several SVU cases were closed as unfounded, or for lack of evidence. A sexual assault case and a child abuse 

case were both settled as unfounded. One detective did charge a suspect with violating an order after a telephone 

call while police were on scene. 

SVU has received numerous new cases that detectives are working. Many current cases are awaiting evidence 

from the crime lab for identification. 

SVU executed a search warrant at a residence for child pornography and collected several computers. Detectives 

recovered approximately 500 depictions of children engaged in sexual activity. Charges will be forthcoming. 

Detectives are finishing up their part of the documentation needed for the rape suspect living in Canada. 


 

 

Detectives served two search warrants in the valley. Both were for meth and one yielded some paraphernalia and 

other indications of use. No one was arrested. The second warrant yielded some meth in the possession of the 

target, paraphernalia, and other indications of use. One person was booked with intent to deliver. 

Detectives served a search warrant in southeast Spokane. The warrant yielded a substantial amount of cash, and 

some cocaine. Two people were booked for possession with intent to deliver. 

Spokane Violent Crime Gang Enforcement Team (SVCGET) 

 

 

 

The Gang Unit conducted a control buy of a sawed off 12 gauge shotgun and a pistol from a residence. The 

investigation is continuing and the subject qualifies for federal prosecution. 

The Gang Unit is investigating two cases; one is a gang crack house on the northeast side of town that is tied in 

with another house they recently executed a search warrant on. The second is an assault with a tire iron case 

involving gang members that occurred in northeast Spokane as well. 

The Gang Unit is still working a long term federal investigation – progress is being made weekly. 

Patrol 

 

 

 

A prolific criminal was caught stealing TVs from the Red Lion Motel – subject would steal the room's TV, ask for 

another one, then steal the second TV as well before abandoning the room – the patrol officers who made the 

arrest noted that while the subject does not qualify as a Repeat Offender, police will undoubtedly have further 

dealings with the subject 

A patrol officer has been focusing surveillance and enforcement on a house after vehicles, people and activities, as 

well as reports from neighbors describe the location as a drug/gang/crime house 

A subject attempted to run from the power shift PACT team and ended up assaulting Ofc. Wheeler, who promptly 

took the subject down. 



Pg. 45


 

 

A new escort service has been identified – the female involved is running a prostitution enterprise out of a hotel 

room and her services are advertised on a "craigslist" style site 

Officers arrested a subject for 1 st Degree Assault after he tried to run over a graveyard patrol officer. The subject 

stated his intent was to kill a lot of people so it was good officers got him in custody. 

NRO ROUND-UP 

NRO Updates Unavailable this Week 



 

 

 

 

Between the day shift and power shift PACT Teams, 17 individuals were arrested on outstanding misdemeanor 

and/or felony warrants, or new misdemeanor and/or felony charges – two of those arrested were listed on Crime 

Stoppers as wanted fugitives

collision/arrest 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Day shift patrol officers responded to a female with mental issues sprawled inappropriately across sidewalks, in 

front of two establishments from which she has been trespassed, wearing unsuitable clothing – the female was 

blocking free passage and refusing to leave – while she was not arrested, she is an ongoing problem person in the 

downtown core 

Officers from two day shift patrol teams worked together to arrest a subject who was wanted on an outstanding 

felony DOC warrant – the subject had run into Riverpark Square and then officers spotted him walking away from 

the area – as a patrol sergeant went to contact him, the subject ran and was later caught after a short foot pursuit 

The area of Spokane Falls Blvd/Wall has exploded with loitering street people and bored teenagers, drastically 

affecting free passage and quality of life for Wheatland Bank, Riverfront Park and the Olive Garden – officers 

have spent the week rousting sleepers, opening the sidewalks, and arresting for misdemeanors and warrants as well 

as issuing citations as part of a multi-shift effort. Riverfront Park continues to trespass them from the park, so 

SPD deals with the increasing displacement. 

A day shift officer worked a day long traffic emphasis at various high violation areas and south side parks 

SCC security called police reference a man passed out in his truck with his pants pulled down and holding his

AUGUST DEBRIEF OF INCIDENTS 

K-9 DEPLOYMENTS 

Incident #1 – In August, an SPD K-9 handler was assisting the WSP/DEA marijuana eradication team. The 

eradication team had observed two suspects tending an illegal marijuana grow. As the eradication team made verbal 

contact with the suspects by announcing “Police,” the suspects immediately fled. As officers pursued, another 

officer announced that the suspect was armed with a gun. The K-9 handler gave a verbal announcement prior to 

releasing his K-9. The K-9 was deployed in an attempt to locate and apprehend the suspect as he fled through the 

wilderness terrain. The K-9 lost sight of the suspect and was called back. The pursuit continued across a creek and 

up a hillside. Another announcement was made and the K-9 was deployed again to locate and apprehend the fleeing 

suspect. The K-9 apprehended the suspect by contact on his left leg. The suspect was taken into custody by Federal 

agents without further incident. 

Incident #2 – A K-9 handler responded to assist officers in searching for a suspect wanted for DOC Escape and 

felony DVOP, and was hiding in his own residence. Officers had extricated the victim and searched for the suspect 

prior to the K-9 handler’s arrival, but were unable to locate the suspect. Verbal announcements were made into the 

Pg. 53

esidence prior to deploying the K-9. The K-9 searched, located, and apprehended the suspect by contact in the 

basement. The suspect resisted arrest and assaulted the K-9 to the point that the K-9 broke off the apprehension 

apparently injured. The suspect was able to close a door between himself and the officers, then attempted to flee out 

a back door into the waiting hands of the perimeter officers, where he was taken into custody. The K-9 did not 

require medical attention. In addition to the original charges, the suspect was also charged with Harming a Police 

Dog. 

Incident #3 – A K-9 handler responded to assist in locating a DOC warrant suspect who was hiding in his own 

house. The suspect refused to surrender to the Violent Offender Task Force, which had contained the suspect inside. 

After several announcements, the K-9 was deployed. The K-9 searched, located, and apprehended the suspect by 

contact while he was hiding in a crawl space. The K-9 initially contacted the suspect on the thigh, but the suspect 

grabbed the K-9 by the neck which caused the K-9 to release and transition to the suspect’s arm. The K-9 released 

when it was safe for his handler to do so, and the suspect was taken into custody by without further incident. 

Incident #4 – A K-9 handler responded to assist the Marshal’s Service in locating a suspected bank robber and 

wanted suspect. The Marshals and WSP had located the suspect driving a possible stolen vehicle at a gas station. 

As the K-9 handler arrived, the suspect fled in the vehicle and a pursuit ensued. The pursuit eventually ended in a 

rural area when the suspect crashed and fled on foot. The K-9 handler made a verbal announcement as he deployed 

his K-9 to locate the suspect. The K-9 tracked, located, and apprehended the suspect by contact on his arm. The 

suspect immediately began resisting by fighting and assaulting the K-9. The suspect failed to comply with the K-9 

handler’s orders to stop fighting and the K-9 handler had to use force tactics in order to get the suspect to stop 

assaulting the K-9. With the assistance of other officers, the suspect was subdued and taken into custody without 

further incident. The K-9 was apparently uninjured. 

Incident #5 – A K-9 handler responded to assist officers in locating a wanted suspect that was hiding inside his 

residence. The suspect was wanted for 1 st Degree Assault with a Firearm. Prior to deployment of the K-9, verbal 

announcements were made. The K-9 searched the main floor of the residence and did not locate anyone. Prior to 

deployment in the basement, the K-9 handler again made verbal announcements. The suspect chose to continue 

hiding. The K-9 searched the basement and quickly located the suspect hiding under the stairs. The suspect had 

barricaded the area under the stairs. The K-9 handler again made announcements before sending the K-9 under the 

stairs. The K-9 entered the area under the stairs, located, and apprehended the suspect by contact on his arm. The 

K-9 handler had to remove the barricade to get to the suspect and the K-9. The suspect was attempting to remove 

the K-9 from the contact, but eventually complied with the K-9 handler’s commands to stop resisting. The K-9 

immediately released upon command and the suspect was taken into custody without incident by assisting officers. 

The suspect later admitted that he had heard K-9 announcements. 

TASER APPLICATIONS 

Incident #1 – A subject called 911 to report that 10 people were outside his home threatening to kill him and he had 

armed himself with a knife. Officers responded and discovered that the subject was experiencing mental issues. 

The subject emerged from the apartment building holding a large kitchen knife in one hand, and a cell phone up to 

his ear. The subject was speaking unintelligibly and seemed disoriented. Both officers gave verbal commands to 

stop and drop the knife, but the subject did not seem to hear them and walked as if toward an imagined threat. A 

responding officer fired his Taser, both probes striking the subject in the back incapacitating him. The subject 

discarded the knife and was taken into custody. He was transported to a local hospital for a mental evaluation. 

LATERAL VASCULAR NECK RESTRAINTS 

Incident #1 – Officers were involved in a foot pursuit with the suspect after they had developed probable cause to 

arrest him. The suspect had made prior comments about shooting people, had been seen with a broken bottle in his 

hands, and had made death threats to other people. The suspect had not been searched so it was unknown what 

weapons he had on him. After a four to five minute foot pursuit, the officer caught up to the suspect in a tight, 

confined area between a house and a fence that was overgrown with bushes and was very dark. Instead of 

complying with the officer's lawful commands, the suspect charged directly at him full speed, and intentionally 

assaulted the officer by swinging his closed fists at his head. The officer blocked the blow and due to his position 

and proximity, applied a closed fist strike to the suspect's head, knocking him down. The suspect got back up and 

Pg. 54

esumed throwing punches at the officer, who applied three to five closed fist strikes that had no effect. The officer 

had applied his body weight on the suspect, pushing him down to the ground. The suspect was able to push up, 

almost throwing the officer completely off of him. As the suspect attempted to regain his footing, the officer was 

able to apply a Level 1 Lateral Vascular Neck Restraint in an attempt to gain compliance. The suspect continued to 

fight, so the officer transitioned to a Level 2 Lateral Vascular Neck Restraint, rendering the suspect unconscious and 

allowing officer to handcuff the suspect. 

Incident #2 – Officers had probable cause to arrest the suspect at the time they contacted him. As they attempted to 

place handcuffs on the suspect, he began resisting and quickly escalated to being assaultive when he attempted to 

strike an officer with his metal/wood skateboard. Both officers issued a single hand strike to the suspect during the 

assaultive altercation, after which the suspect dropped the skateboard. An officer was then able to place the suspect 

in a Level 2 Lateral Vascular Neck Restraint, rendering him unconscious and allowing them to apply handcuffs 

without further incident. The suspect's belligerent attitude continued at the scene, and on the way to jail when he 

began hitting his head on the plexiglass shield of the patrol car. 

Incident #3 – Officers were attempting to locate and arrest a suspect for multiple crimes. Officers surrounded a 

location where the suspect is known to stay. An officer set up in the back of the location and observed a female 

subject matching the description of the wanted suspect ride to the location. As the officer contacted the female, she 

immediately got on a bicycle and attempted to ride away. The officer grabbed the female’s arm and used an arm bar 

technique to take her to the ground. The female was able to get to her feet and run down the alley. The officer gave 

chase and again used an arm bar to take her to the ground. The officer then applied a Level 1 Lateral Vascular Neck 

Restraint and told the female to stop fighting. The female calmed down somewhat and the officer released the neck 

restraint. The female was later identified and was not the female officers were originally looking for. 

Use of Force Definitions 

K-9 Deployments 

In many instances, it is much safer for officers to search for suspects utilizing a K-9. Fleeing suspects demonstrate that they are 

willing to actively avoid capture and often have a plethora of hiding places in which to secrete themselves. The suspects have not 

been searched and it is unknown whether they possess weapons which could be used to ambush officers. The K-9s are able to 

locate suspects with much less risk to responding officers. The dog's sense of smell is also much more reliable than the officers’ 

visual ability to conduct searches. The dogs prevent potential deadly force situations thereby making it safer for both officer and 

suspect. 

Taser Applications and Lateral Vascular Neck Restraints 

Taser applications and lateral vascular neck restraints are valuable tactics for officers to use when confronted with a resistive 

subject. Both tactics can prevent long, drawn out physical altercations which help to avoid excited delirium possibilities. When 

properly applied, the neck restraint and the Taser can end a fight quickly and make the apprehension much swifter: the longer 

the fight, the more potential for injuries to both officer and suspect as well as the possibility of excited delirium. Both tactics are 

likely to cause little to no injury and the recovery is quick when done. 

The Taser can be applied in two ways; the drive stun, which is applied directly to the skin, or firing the probes, which will 

connect with a subject at a distance. There are two levels of neck restraints; Level 1 allows the officer to control the suspect and 

Level 2 allows the officer to render the subject momentarily unconscious giving officers several seconds to take the suspect into 

custody without further incident. Officers must take many things into consideration when determining whether to use a drive stun 

vs. firing the Taser or a Level 1 vs. Level 2 neck restraint. Severity of the crime, the threat the suspect poses and whether or not 

the suspect is actively resisting (assaultive or active resistance) – these questions are based on if a reasonable officer would feel 

the force used was appropriate.
