SEPTEMBER 2015 DRAFT OF"MENU OF OPTIONS"

use when seeking meaningful ways in which to establish and build trust with our respective

Committee is hopeful that the KCPCA will identify a core number of these options that all of
the King County Law Enforcement Agencies can commit to embracing.

Association. This Statement of Values highlights our commitment as Law Enforcement
leaders to ensure all members of our communities are treated with equity and respect.
"The Sheriff and Police Chiefs in King County place a high value on creating a culture
within our respective departments wherein everyone shares the common values of
community trust, mutual respect, and protection of everyone's civil rights. We live
out our values by ensuring adequate training, leading by example, and holding our
personnel accountable."

their mistakes, so as to avoid screening out potentially great candidates. ;
➢ If we continue with automatic disqualifiers, make sure they are clearly stated
on promotionat materials

is very meaningful and honorable.
