RE:<br />
<strong>REPORT</strong> TO <strong>USE</strong> <strong>OF</strong> FORCE COMMISSION<br />
Dear Mr. Martin:<br />
In March, 2012 Mr. Earl Martin, Executive Vice President of Gonzaga University working<br />
in his capacity as Chair of the City of Spokane Use of Force Commission, contacted me with regard<br />
to serving as a consultant to the Commission. After a preliminary discussion about the nature of the<br />
work, I provided Mr. Martin with information on my background, qualifications, training and<br />
experience. Thereafter, in mid-May 2012 a contract for services was executed and Mr. Martin began<br />
transmitting documents and materials for my review. The original projected date for completion of<br />
the project was September-October, 2012.<br />
The scope of the project as agreed to include: a review of use of force training, use of force<br />
policies and a review of the field training officer program via written materials provided; meetings<br />
in Spokane with executive, management, supervisory level personnel and the training staff; and<br />
potential patrol ride-alongs with members of the Spokane Police Department. It was anticipated that<br />
I would be evaluating the defensive tactics training program in particular, identifying potential areas<br />
of concern and making recommendations with regard to training and policy concerns.<br />
Materials provided by the Use of Force Commission and the Spokane Police Department<br />
("SPD") included documents relating to the SPD defensive tactics program and other use of force<br />
options training; the entire SPD policy manual; and materials pertaining to the Field Training Officer<br />
Program. During the course of the project additional materials pertaining to these areas of concern<br />
were provided, as well as e-mail correspondence relating to questions that arose during the course<br />
of the project. Note that with regard to the various materials provided there were multiple instances<br />
