| Description: | This report provides guidance to the Pasco (Washington) Police Department (PPD) regarding community policing initiatives, officer training, and other challenges stemming from the fatal shooting of Antonio Zambrano-Montes by three Pasco officers on February 10, 2015. The lessons learned in the aftermath of the shooting of Zambrano-Montes have implications in many areas of law enforcement, but the scope of this project was limited to advancing community policing and building relationships with community members. While the guidance in this report is specific to Pasco, much of it can also be applied to police agencies across the nation that are facing challenges similar to Pasco’s. There has been an upheaval in the policing profession since the summer of 2014. This upheaval started with the events in Ferguson, Missouri, in August 2014 and has continued with numerous other high profile controversial uses of force in other agencies including the shooting of Zambrano-Montes. Leading law enforcement executives have been developing new strategies, policies, approaches to officer training, and ideas about building relationships of trust with their communities. Most of this activity is aimed at answering questions such as, “How can we find ways to better manage and de-escalate situations in which there are alternatives to deadly force and to ensure the safety of everyone—officers and community members? How can we demonstrate that we put the highest value on the sanctity of human life? And how can we build and sustain community trust in this environment?” |
