City of Auburn
Decision Package: POL.0023 - 6 Commissioned Police Officers
Group Version Duration Approval StatusPriorityDateBudget Year
Ongoing Pending05/18/2016 2018 blee 0 3
Title
6 Commissioned Police Officers - Funded by 5% Utility Excise Tax on Cable and COPS Grants
Description of Improvement
Increased staff will enable the deployment of dedicated staff to address Downtown crime /citizen perceptions; as well as, Les
Gove Campus security issues. In addition, some of this staff will be dedicated to targeted enforcement of
individuals/locations that are identified through criminal analysis as being involved in criminal activities.
We will add one additional bicycle officer to enhance that unit to 4 bicycle officers. Re-establish Pro-Act unit that was
disbanded back in 2008 due to the economic downturn. This unit has a directed mission of surveillance and waiting on
graffiti offenders, gang activity and both residential /commercial burglary offenders. This was a highly successful unit prior to
elimination. Add 1 Day Shift K-9 Officer and 1 Major Crimes Detective.
The additional staffing will have an immediate and long lasting impact on making Auburn citizens and business community
feel secure in their community.
This decision package also includes:
* 3 patrol vehicles for general patrol use
* 3 Pro-Active Detectives vehicles for undercover operations and unmarked patrol vehicle operations (in 2018)
* 1 bicycle for bicycle patrol officer
* body cameras (in 2018)
Alternatives
Continue to assign staff in overtime assignments to address noted issues.
Advantages of Approval
Dedicated bicycle patrol to patrol Downtown and City Parks, re-establish a Pro-Act unit that dedicates itself to targeting our
most prolific offenders and the crimes they commit , Day Shift K-9 Officer and 1 additional Detective.
Implications of Denial
Potential for continued high crime rate: Our CAD Incidents were second only to Kent in 2015. Our officer workload is the
highest of any neighboring agency in south King County. Remain re-active rather than Pro-Active.

Background Summary:
The purpose of this discussion is to present the feature capital project of the third
quarter of 2016: West Main Street Multi-Modal Corridor and ITS Improvements. This
project will be featured in the Fall edition of the Auburn Magazine and on the City’s
capital project website.
The City’s West Main Street Multi-Modal Corridor and ITS improvements project

improved by adding a two-way left-turn center lane which will provide a refuge for
vehicles (especially trucks) turning to and from businesses located along the corridor.
The ITS improvements will reduce intersection delays and improve travel times
between West Valley Highway and SR-167 and SR-18 and the Regional Growth
Center by providing interconnectivity between traffic signal systems.
