Executive Summary – Highlights
• Officers Shouman, Black and Cronauer attended Allied Law Enforcement
Response Team (ALERT) training. The citizens of Arlington benefit from the
Arlington Police Department's participation in the Allied Law Enforcement
Response Team (ALERT) in several important ways. Firstly, being part of this
multi-jurisdictional unit enhances the department's capabilities to handle large-
scale disturbances and emergencies more effectively, ensuring a swift and
coordinated response. This collaboration also means that Arlington benefits from
shared resources and expertise, which can be crucial during critical incidents,
reducing the overall impact on the community. Additionally, the presence of a
specialized unit like ALERT can help maintain public order during significant
events, thereby safeguarding the community and minimizing potential damage to
property and businesses. Overall, ALERT's integrated approach helps bolster
public safety and trust, demonstrating a commitment to professionalism and
preparedness in crisis situations
• APD conducted its annual shift bidding
• The APOA and City staff continued CBA negotiations
• The PD conducted election law training to remain vigilant regarding any need to
respond to incident that may occur within the city
• Kudos to PSM Bilow for securing approximately $9,000 in bullet proof vest

use of Flock Safety Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs)

S. M. A. R. T. In Review: 2024
Current Staffing Levels
When fully staffed, SMART is billeted for 67 personnel (including Community Members).
Currently SMART is staffed at 59. The team also has two Public Disclosure staff
members and one Admin Support person assigned to the team that are not counted in
the current staffing levels. The leadership team consists of three Captains and one
Commander serving as SMART Commanders, one Lieutenant Assistant Commander,
and five Sergeants. The investigative team consists of thirty Investigators (11 of those
are lead investigators / listed below), and the support staff team consists of five Evidence
Technicians, five Public Information Officers, zero Scene Coordinators, six Community
Members, and three assigned Prosecutors.
The team is comprised of members made up from agencies who are signatories to the
SMART agreement which comprise all municipalities within Snohomish County and the
Stillaguamish Tribal Police. The following list indicates the agencies who are signatories
and the number of members from that agency: Arlington (5), Brier (0), Bothell (3),
Darrington (0), Edmonds (1), Everett (13), Granite Falls (0), Gold Bar (0), Index (0), Lake
Stevens (2), Lynnwood (1), Marysville (1), Mill Creek (1), Monroe (3), Mountlake Terrace
(3), Mukilteo (3), Stanwood (0), Sultan (0), Woodway (0), Prosecutor’s Office (3), SCSO
(11), and Washington State Patrol (3).
The team currently has 4 investigator openings and plans on working toward filling those
vacancies in 2025. It should be noted that in 2024, eight different individuals withdrew
from the team. In that same time, 9 new members were added. SMART made a strong
push to fill vacancies that were caused by promotions, resignations, and retirements and
that recruitment continues into 2025. Unfortunately, many of the resignations were senior
detectives who had vast experience investigating major crimes. Despite that, SMART
leadership is committed to mentor and train the new investigators on SMART procedures
and protocols. For 2025 we will also be making a hard push to fill our allotted six Scene
Coordinator positions.
2024 SMART Leadership Team
Captain Steve McDonald (SCSO) was assigned as the team commander on January 1,
2024, to replace Undersheriff Doug Jeske upon his promotion. Captain Bryan Keller
(Bothell PD) and Captain Jerry Strieck (Everett PD) were assistant commanders. In
February, Commander Peter Barrett (Arlington PD) was brought on as a fourth
Commander and was in “SMART Commander FTO” for the remaining of 2024. In
January, Lt David Bowman (SCSO) was brought on as the team’s Assistant Commander
and is presently filling the role as the administrative manager and compliance officer. Lt
Mike Braley (Everett PD) also served as an Assistance Commander. Sergeant Barry
Hatch (Monroe PD) served as SMART’s Investigative Team Supervisor. Sergeant Russ
Crocker (Everett PD), Sergeant David Fontenot (SCSO), and Sergeant Rory Bolter
4
(Arlington PD) were first-level supervisors for the team throughout the year. Sergeant
Scot Fenter (SCSO) retired and resigned mid-year, and Sergeant Megan Sheets (Mt Lk
Terrace PD) was appointed as a first-level supervisor to replace Sergeant Fenter. Finally,
In November, Lt Mike Braley (Everett PD) retired and resigned from SMART.
Effective Jan 1, 2025, Arlington Police Commander Peter Barrett will be the SMART
Commander.

Community Members

newer members of SMART, and the other half have been on the team for at least a couple
of years if not more. Community members were invited to all callouts and training dates
in 2024.

Issues to keep an eye on
There are upcoming issues that will be addressed in 2025 pertain to making the team
stronger and better prepared for future deployments. Those areas of concern are:
➢ The selection and implementation of scene coordinators to the team. This addition
was approved in 2022 but due to workload and on-boarding many new detectives,
supervisors, and community representatives, the selection process was never
implemented. It is the intention of command to move forward with adding
coordinators in 2025. We have had interest from several people from different
agencies and will be holding interviews in early 2025.
➢ The continuation of selecting new team members to fill the vacant billets and
complete the build out of the team. This is a continual process and is constantly
needed to fill current vacancies and future vacancies that will be cause d by
promotions, retirements, and resignations. We will place an emphasis on filling
LEAD investigator positions in 2025.
➢ Continued conversations with the Office of Independent Investigations that will look
towards future investigations and the possible sharing of information. The Office
of Independent Investigations went “live” on December 1, 2024.
➢ On December 4, 2024, the OII was deployed down in Vancouver (Region 1) after
an officer involved OIS. Their investigation was dis-jointed, slow, and awkward at
best. This is a concern for us to be aware of. There are still unanswered questions
regarding legal issues, financial issues, liability issues, and coordination efforts
between SMART teams and the OII.
➢ The Skagit County Prosecutor has authored a memo to OII Director Roger Rogoff
expressing concerns with IIT assisting with OII investigations. This has caused
some issues that have not been worked out.
➢ A possible expansion of SMART’s core responsibilities to include investigating any
precipitating/underlying crimes when a serious use of force occurs. This will take
a change in our best practice protocol and need board approval.
➢ Mandates - WAC 139-12-030 requires that when a detective has served on an IIT
for 3 years, the team commander will review the “suitability” of that detective to
remain on the team. The CJTC Best Practices requires a yearly attestation from
the chief executive of each agency who have detectives on the SMART that those
detectives are free from any sustained findings of disqualifying behaviors. To that
end, Captain McDonald has sent a letter to each chief executive who have
detectives, supervisors, and support personnel assigned to SMART asking that
that each chief executive affirm that their SMART member is free from any
sustained findings of misconduct as well as reviewing the members suitability to
6
remain on the team. Those letters were returned and are filed with EPD to
demonstrate compliance with WAC 139.
Since the inception of SMART in 1995, SMART has responded to 1 11 officer involved
incidents. There were four Sno Co. SMART responses in 2024, one agency assist (Skagit
IIT), and one SMART consultation which did not meet the criteria for a SMART response.

Everett Police were called to a domestic violence complaint involving a boyfriend /
girlfriend. Information was gathered that the male suspect was intoxicated and was
armed with a handgun inside the residence of the girlfriend’s parent’s residence. He was
threatening violence on the occupants of the residence. The occupants were able to
leave the residence, leaving the male alone inside. After some time, Region 1 SWAT
was called to assist with this call. SWAT arrived and began negotiating with the suspect.
At one point the suspect came out of the residence and pointing a handgun toward police.
He was then shot multiple times by SWAT members. The suspect survived this incident.
Due to Region 1 SWAT being involved (majority EPD and SCSO) not enough other
SMART members were available, so Skagit Co. SMART was asked to respond to assist
in investigating this use of force incident.

Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to a disturbance complaint. Once on scene they heard
the sounds of a disturbance (yelling and screaming) coming from inside an apartment.
They determined that an exigent situation existed and forced entry was necessary. After
7
forcing entry, they saw a male forcefully holding an elderly female around her neck. The
male had a baseball bat in one hand and a broken glass plate in the other hand, which
was up against the elderly female’s throat. Deputies ordered the male to release the
female and to drop the items in his hands. He refused. After a short time, the male
eventually released the female, but then charged at the deputies with the bat held over
his head. The deputies then shot the male. SMART was consulted and responded
(minus SCSO detectives) to investigate this incident. The male survived this incident.

Lynnwood PD was dispatched to a disturbance at the Fred Meyer located on 196 th St SW.
Information was that a vehicle had purposely struck a juvenile, and then fled the area.
Lynnwood Officers then located the vehicle as it entered onto I -5 at 196th St SW. The
suspect vehicle stopped, and several occupants exited. As they exited the vehicle, they
fired several gunshots toward Lynnwood Officers and then fled on foot. The Officers fired
back but were unsure if any suspects had been hit. After searching the area, no suspects
were located. Lynnwood consulted with SMART, and I denied the callout as it did not rise
to the level of a mandated callout due to no evidence of injury. Lynnwood PD then asked
for an agency assist with this investigation. Everett PD agreed and responded to the
scene and began investigating the location where the use of force occurred. Lynnwood
detectives began investigating the initial crime. Several days later, Lynnwood detectives
obtained information that one of the suspects from the vehicle had sustained a gunshot
wound and was in a Portland, OR area hospital. Now, with this added information,
SMART was activated to assist with this investigation. The suspect survived this
encounter.

A WSP trooper was dispatched to a disturbance on I-5 at MP 196. Information was that
a male had stopped in the middle of I -5 and had started threatening and harassing
construction workers working on the shoulder of I-5. The male had also used his vehicle
and rammed a manlift as there were workers in the a ir over the slough. A WSP trooper
responded and contacted the male. The male was non-compliant and after some time
picked up a large object and charged at the trooper. The trooper attempted to back away,
but the suspect continued to advance. The troope r then shot the male several times.
SMART was consulted and responded to investigate this incident. The suspect did not
survive the encounter.
SM 2024-005 CASE SUMMARY
Date: 09-15-24

Community Representatives: Ethel McNeal / Mike Nicefaro
Family Liaison: P Henderson (Monroe PD)
On 09/15/24 SCSO responded to a report that a son had shot and killed his mother. The
son then fled the area in his vehicle. A SCSO deputy located the vehicle, and a pursuit
began. The deputy performed a high -speed PIT which caused the suspect vehicle to
spin. As the vehicle spun and crashed, the suspect was ejected from his vehicle a nd
sustained fatal injuries. He did not survive this incident. SMART was consulted and
responded to the use of force location (minus SCSO detectives). SCSO detective s did
investigate the initial crime located several miles from the use of force location.
SMART CONSULTS
On 02-19-24 Everett PD responded to burglary complaint. Once on scene they located
a suspect, but the suspect failed to follow commands and fled the scene on foot. Everett
Officer began a foot pursuit of the suspect yelling at him to stop and that he was under
arrest. He failed to comply. Everett Officers deployed their issued tasers on the suspect
which had the desired effect of NMI (Neural muscular incapacity). The suspect fell to the
ground and was taken into custody. Once in custody, the officers noticed that the suspec t
had inadvertently struck his head on the ground as he fell and was said to have sustained
a serious head injury. Everett PD consulted with SMART, and I denied the request as it
did not meet mandated callout requirements. This was not an intentional use of deadly
force. Everett Police requested an agency assist with this investigation. SCSO detectives
assigned to SMART investigated this use of force and concluded that the Everett PD
officers were within policy and state law when they used force in this situation. The
suspect survived this incident.

One suspect was shot and is deceased on scene. The other is shot and
transported to the hospital. Multiple officers fired their weapons. The
Marysville Police North Annex served as the officer processing area, the
Sheriff’s North Precinct was used for the hospital, the scenario scene was
roughly in between those two. SMART investigators were assigned the
crime scene, officer processing, response to the hospital, and witness
interviews. Full crime scene processing (minus Faro mapping) was
completed as well as witness interviews, and press releases. Officer
processing was set up as a continuing evolution for multiple new SMART
investigators. SMART DPA’s were on scene to assist as needed. The
entire scenario lasted approximately 8 hours. The review and debrief of the
scenario will take place in February of 2025 as part of the first quarter
training module.
