Boone Ave. Spokane, WA 99258 OF COUNSEL DONALD S. SMITH* THOMAS R. WAGNER * Admitted in Multiple Jurisdictions † Admitted to Practice Law in Arizona only RE: REPORT TO USE OF FORCE COMMISSION Dear Mr. Martin: In March, 2012 Mr. Earl Martin, Executive Vice President of Gonzaga University working in his capacity as Chair of the City of Spokane Use of Force Commission, contacted me with regard to serving as a consultant to the Commission. After a preliminary discussion about the nature of the work, I provided Mr. Martin with information on my background, qualifications, training and experience. Thereafter, in mid-May 2012 a contract for services was executed and Mr. Martin began transmitting documents and materials for my review. The original projected date for completion of the project was September-October, 2012. The scope of the project as agreed to include: a review of use of force training, use of force policies and a review of the field training officer program via written materials provided; meetings in Spokane with executive, management, supervisory level personnel and the training staff; and potential patrol ride-alongs with members of the Spokane Police Department. It was anticipated that I would be evaluating the defensive tactics training program in particular, identifying potential areas of concern and making recommendations with regard to training and policy concerns. Materials provided by the Use of Force Commission and the Spokane Police Department ("SPD") included documents relating to the SPD defensive tactics program and other use of force options training; the entire SPD policy manual; and materials pertaining to the Field Training Officer Program. During the course of the project additional materials pertaining to these areas of concern were provided, as well as e-mail correspondence relating to questions that arose during the course of the project. Note that with regard to the various materials provided there were multiple instances ORANGE COUNTY SAN DIEGO SAN FRANCISCO SCOTTSDALE 19800 MacArthur Blvd Suite 900 • Irvine, CA 92612 550 West C Street, Suite 1900 • San Diego, CA 92101 One California Street, Suite 1100 • San Francisco, CA 94111 6909 East Greenway Parkway, Suite 200 • Scottsdale, AZ 85254 Phone (949) 440-6690 • Fax (949) 474-6991 Phone (619) 515-0269 • Fax (619) 515-0268 Phone (415) 217-6990 • Fax (415) 217-6999 Phone (480) 477-5269 • Fax (480) 477-5268
