It was composed of the following personnel: Captain Harney Captain Widmer Sgt. Campbell Officer Lorence The review of submitted reports for November (22 incidents - 32 reports) and December (17 incidents - 23 reports) revealed no policy or training concerns. It should be reported that this was the most positive review to date in that only 2 reports were found to contain errors, all of a minor nature. These are being returned to the respective Watch Commanders. In comparison with the previous year, there were 28 incidents in November and 25 in December. This again represents a decrease in use of force incidents. Also of note, in the 29 total incidents for this period, 5 were the result of officers being called upon to put down injured animals. Copy: City Manager PCRB · · IOWA CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT TRAINING BULLETIN 00-1 0 DATE: February 7th, 2000 TO: Commanders (Pass on to all officers) FROM: k.hurd SUBJECT: Watch Training This week's watch training deals with "Juvenile notification requirements". The attached information identifies when a notification needs to be made who needs to be notified and who is responsible for making the notification. There are no changes to our current procedures but this is merely a chart that clarifies what needs to be done. Cc: Chief Winkelhake Capt. Hamey Capt. Widmer hT i i g0033 ~© 7: Watc ran n - ,_. --~ ~ ~, Juvenile Notification Requirements ~-< ~ Scenario - While walking the plaza you come across an intoxicated juvenile, dY~it ta~'e~ him into custody and decide to transport him to the PD without cuffmg h~m. ~ar~ him and during the se~ch you come upon a pint bottle of alcohol with the s~ brok~ and a baggie containing m~ijuana. Upon arrival at the PD you fill out the appropria~ refe~als and paperwork, and notify the parents who agree to come to the PD to pick him up. Critical Issues - Were you justified in seamhing the juvenile without his parents being present? Upon releasing him to his parents what if any notification requirements do you have? Discussion - h this scenario the officer had the right and the responsibility to search the juvenile prior to transposing him. Once he is t~en into custody for public intoxication he could be se~ched incident to arrest. In addition consistent with General Order 99-03, Prisoner Transpo~, "Prior to transpo~, all prisoners shall be thoroughly searched for any weapons or contraband." In addition, "Known juveniles will be handcuffed only when m~onably necess~y to ensure the safety of the officers, juvenile or others." The attached table will hopefully assist in dete~ining when and who needs to be notified upon dealing with a juvenile.

IOWA CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT TRAINING BULLETIN 00-1 3 DATE'! ....... February 14th, 2000 TO: Commanders (Pass on to all officers) FROM: k.hurd SUBJECT: WT This week's watch training deals with the prioritization of general orders, It is designed to assist officers identify which orders are critical to know, need to know and nice to know. Cc: Chief Winkelhake Capt. Hamey Capt. Widmer Watch Training 00 34 - General Orders Scenario - While it is important for all members to be aware of all orders, directives pertaining to the operation of the Department, there are obviously s~al~<ord~?s which are of a higher priority or of a more critical nature th~' othg~:~ Critical Issues - How am I supposed to know which directives are the most important? What do the different levels mean? How much do I need to know about the particular "level" of directive? What if I don't fully understand a "critical" order? When is this going to happen? Discussion - Orders will be identified as being one of three levels; Red, which are critical in nature; Green, which are important in nature; and black which are "non-critical" or administrative issues, Ro,~lghl. y p ,t: Red Orders - Critical in nature, they are issues, which directly affect the safety or welfare of the officer, public or suspects; or are issues, which statistically have a higher probability in litigation against the officer/city; or issues of importance which affect the officer on a regular basis. An example of this would be the department's Use of Force or Vehicle Pursuit orders. These type orders are ones, which the officer must thoroughly know and understand. Deviations from these directives are likely to lead to punitive disciplinary action. These orders will be identified with the title of the order appearing in red type. (MUST KNOW) Green Orders - These are orders, which directly affect the operations of the department, or are used on a regular/daily basis, or are ot~..i, mportance to the officer but are not normally thought of as "life safety issues" and are less likely to result in litigation against the officer or city. An example of this type order would be Vehicle Crashes. Officers investigate crashes on a regular basis and need to know the order but need not memorize all aspects of the order. If the officer had a question on the order, he/she could probably receive clarification from a supervisor or another officer, without unduly hampering the officer's duties. Deviation from this directive is less likely to pose a hazard to the public, officer or others. A single deviation from this level directive is less likely to result in punitive disciplinary action. These will be identified with green type in the title box. (NEED TO KNOW) Black Orders - These are orders, which are not safety issues and do not directly affect the daily operations of the department. It is unlikely that an officer or the city would be subject of litigation as a result of these type directives. An example of this type order would be Form Development or Written Directive System. While it would be "nice to know" information, if officers had a question relating to this they would likely have time to look up the order for clarification. These will have black type in the title box. (NICE TO KNOW) As new orders are developed they will be assigned a category. As existing orders are reviewed, they will placed in a category upon completion of the review. NOTE: this is titled General Orders, this does not apply to departmental roles and regulations, which the officers are expected to know and abide by. IOWA CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT TRAINING BULLETIN 00-14 DATE: February 21 st, 2000 TO: Commanders (Pass on to all officers) FROM: k. hurd SUBJECT: WT 00-35 Prisoner Transport This week's watch training deals with re-issued G/O 99-03 Prisoner Transport. Also attached is the now color coded front page of this order which was covered in last weeks watch training. Cc: Chief Winkelhake Capt. Harney Capt. Widmer Watch Training 00-35 Prisoner Transport Scenario r While on the plaza you and your partner obserVe two females fighting. Upon stopping the altercation and separating the parties you make a decision to arrest both of them for disorderly conduct and public intoxication. While they are both unhappy about being arrested, they have calmed down and indicate that they are roommates and were fighting about a guy who had been dating both of them. While enroute to the jail you notice one of the subjects is beginning to gasp for breath but indicates by shaking her head, she doesn't want to go to the hospital. Critical Issues - Since they are no longer combative, can they transported together? What are the officers responsibilities/duties pertaining to medical care of prisoners. Can she refuse to go to the hospital? If taken to the hospital, can the officer leave upon dropping her off. Discussion - General Order 99-03, Prisoner Transport states; "...combatants should be transported separately." Even thought the parties had calmed down, the preferred option would be to transport each combatant separately. Of course this may be determined in part by the availability of any transport unit(s). Ref the medical problem, the same order goes as follows; "...physical well-being of prisoners shall be monitored during transit. Particular attention shall be directed to persons reported or suspected of being under the influence of drags and/or alcohol... a. Prisoners who report or display symptoms of serious physical illness or injury during transit shall be taken to an emergency room for treatment. b. Escorting officers shall remain with the patienf at all times unless relieved by other authorized personnel. (this may include medical staff)" In this case, the officer should interpret the gasping for breath as a serious illness or injury. This goes back to: A - Airways or B - Breathing in basic life support training. Since this is a symptom of a serious illness/injury, the subject should be transported to ETC for observation/treatment regardless of the wishes of the prisoner. Upon arrival at the ER, the officer may remove the handcuffs for ffeatment if the prisoner does not pose a threat to the medical personnel. The officer may stand by until treatment is completed and then transport or the officer may, upon being released by a supervisor or medical personnel, return to service and return for the prisoner upon completion of treatment. DATE: February 29th, 2000 TO: Commanders (Pass on to all officers) FROM: k.hurd SUBJECT: WT 00-30 DNA This week's watch training deals with DNA evidence. The scenario is based on an assault. Obviously it is not practical to collect and process DNA evidence at all assaults, but officers should be aware of potential locations and sources of DNA evidence in the most serious incidents. Cc: Chief Winkelhake Capt. Harney Capt· Widmer Watch Training 00-30 DNA Scenario - You respond to an assault call. Upon your arrival you identify several items which may contain DNA evidence. Critical Issues - What is DNA? Where may it be located and what is its source? What procedures should be followed when collecting potential DNA evidence? How should it be collected and pkgd? Discussion - The following is excerpted from the Department of Justice pamphlet What Every Law Enforcement Officer Should Know About DNA Evidence. What is DNA? DNA is short for dioxyribonucleic acid, which is a fundamental building block for an individuals entire genetic makeup. It is a component in virtually every cell in the human body. In addition, a person's DNA is the same in every cell of his/her body. DNA is powerful evidence because with the exception of Identical Twins, each person's DNA is different from everyone else's DNA. DNA collected from a crime scene can either link a suspect to the evidence or eliminate a suspect. In addition, evidence can be compared from one crime scene to another crime scene, potentially thousands of miles apart. Useable DNA may be found on evidence that is decades old. However, several factors can affect the DNA left at a crime scene, including environmental factors. One thing DNA cannot do is, tell when a suspect was at a crime scene or how long they were present. Because extremely small samples of DNA can be used as evidence, greater attention to contamination issues is necessary when identifying, collecting and preserving DNA evidence. DNA can be contaminated when DNA form another source comes in contact with the evidentiary DNA. This can be done when someone coughs, sneezes over the evidence, touches their mouth, nose, or other parts of the face. To avoid contamination of DNA evidence, officers should always take the following precautions: I. Wear gloves and change them often. 2. Use disposable instruments or clean instruments thoroughly before reusing on another sample. 3. Avoid touching the area where you believe DNA may exist. 4. Avoid talking, sneezing and coughing on evidence. (aka - don~ breathe on it) 5. Avoid touching your face, nose and mouth when collecting and packaging evidence. 6. Put evidence into new paper bags or envelopes, not into plastic bags. Do not use staples. ~ .~ In addition officers should be cognizant of the fact that since DNA is contained in biological materials, those involved in the collection and handling of the materials/evidence should take those precautions consistent with the handling of bodily fluids. Since only a few cells can be sufficient to obtain useful DNA information to help your case, the list below identifies some common items of evidence that you may need to collect, the possible location of the DNA on the evidence, and the biological source containing the cells. Remember that just because you cannot see a stain does not mean there are not enough cells for DNA typing: DNA does more than identify the source of the sample; it can place a known individual to a particular location or in contact with the victim or instrument. EVIDENCE POSSIBLE LOCATION SOURCE OF DNA OF DNA ON EVIDENCE Blunt instrument Handle, end Sweat, skin, tissue Hat, bandana, or mask Inside Sweat, hair, dandruff Eyeglasses Nose or ear pieces, lens Sweat, skin Facial tissue, cotton swab Surface area Mucus, blood, sweat, semen, ear wax Dirty laundry Surface area Blood sweat, semen Toothpick Tips Saliva Used cigarette Cigarette butt Saliva Stamp or envelope Licked are Saliva Tape or ligature Inside/outside surface Skin, sweat Bottle, can, or glass Sides, mouthpiece Saliva, sweat Used condom Inside/outsidesurface Semen, vaginal or rectal cells Blanket, pillow, sheets Surface area Sweat, hair semen, urine, saliva Through and through bullet Outside surface Blood tissue Bite mark Person's skin or clothing Saliva Fingernail, partial fingernail Scrapings Blood, sweat, tissue Once evidence, which may contain DNA specimens, is collected it must be handled with care. It should not be exposed to direct sunlight, kept from getting to hot, and stored in packaging which will not collect or retain moisture. This evidence should be submitted as evidence and sent to the lab as soon as possible. At scenes where DNA evidence is being or has been collected, officers need to identify all persons who are present and/or may have been in contact with the evidence be?~g collected. This is necessary as they may be requested to provide samples of 12~y~, wh~ narrow the scope of the investigation. I.e., if a friend or relative has been in c~lt~t w~ a victim, they may have left hair, cigarette butts or other items containing th~ll'~: scene. By identifying them, a sample may be collected which can then be use~_' ~grro-w .~_~ the focus of the investigation. Protecting the Crime Scene Vehicle Searches by George Schiro This article is based on an article by Lisa A. Regioi in Fom~ic Scientist the July 1999 FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin. See the Lo.slava State Police Crime Laborato~ publication for the full a[ticle. This article focuses on the motor vehicle exception to The most important aspect of evidence collection and the warrant requirement of the 4th Amendment. "The presen/ation is protecting the cdme scene. This is to right of the people to be secure in their persons, keep the pe[tinent evidence uncontaminated until it can houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no be recorded and collected.

The U.S. Supreme Court has identified exceptions to ~JI police departments and sheriff's offices should the warrant requirement of the Constitution. For a include intensive training for its personnel on how to search under the motor vehicle exception, the officer properly protect cdme scenes. Potentially, any police must posses probable cause to believe that the vehicle officer can be put into the position of first responding officer to a cdme scene.

In either ease the officer should make mental or written notes (as is In the past there has been confusion about necessity of practical in each situation) about the condition of the the government demonstrating that obtaining a warrant scene as it was upon the officer's ardval and alter the was impractical. This view is inconsistent with Supreme Court rulings. I.e. In Pennsylvania v. continued on page 2 LaBaron, the court concluded that the ready mobility of the vehicle and its reduced expectation of pdvacy "excuse the failure to obtain a search warrant once INSIDE THIS ISSUE probable cause to conduct the search is clear." In United States v. Ludwig, the court concluded that "if '1 Protecting the Crime Scene police have probable cause to search a car, they need not get a search warrant first even if they have time '~ Vehicle Searches and opportunity." 4 Body Armor Another area of confusion is when the vehicle is not likely to move out of the area in the immediate future. In these cases, the Supreme Court has ruled that ...the motor vehicle exception applies in situations even where it is not likely that the vehicle would be moved before a warrant could be obtained. Le. In United States v. Johns, the court upheld a warrantless search training I confinued from page 1 scene has been stabilized. The officer should keep visitors from entering the restricted areas.

Some things the officer should note be set up somewhere outside the restricted areas. It include: the condition of the doors, windows, and could be a vehicle, picnic table, hotel room, tent, etc. It can be used as a gathering place for non-involved lighting (both natural and manmade); if there are any odors present; if there are any signs of activity; how personnel, a place for investigators to take breaks, eat, EMS or fire personnel have altered the scene; drink, or smoke, a communication center, a place for anything essential about the suspect (description, press conferences, a central intelligence area, etc. The statements, physical condition, mental condition, best thing about it is that it is away from the crime intoxication, etc.); and anything essential about the scene.

Annually, I in 30 officers will be involved in civil litigation, of these 40-45% involve the use of force. Of these, approx. 90% will be "won" by the def. (officer). The most common reason that litigation results from the application of force is POOR REPORTiNG/DOCUMENTATION. The Use of Force and Canine Operations general orders are due for review in March. If you have any questions, suggestions, comments, or concerns regarding these orders, please forward such to me by the 10t~. According to the rece[~ly released ATF report Commerce in Firearms in the United States, of active dealers, 1.2 percent (1,020) of current firearms dealers account for 57 pement of cdme gun traces. Each of these dealem had 10 or mom crime guns traced to them. Just 0.2 percent (132) dealers had 50 or more cdme guns traced to them, accounting for 27 percent of cdme gun traces.
