February Officer Of The Month - Officer Brent McDonald

On February 17, 2016 Officer McDonald was working in his assigned patrol

zone when he heard a dispatch come out about an armed robbery of a person and

he began to check the area. When the responding officer put out a suspect

description, Officer McDonald quickly spotted two males that matched the

description. Officer McDonald attempted to speak with the two males, who

were now walking down the side walk in the 1500 block of Woodlawn. The

males ignored Officer McDonald and continued to walk away from him. Officer

McDonald then exited his vehicle and stated “stop police!” One of the suspects

then ran away while the other just continued to walk. Officer McDonald gave

chase and while chasing the suspect noticed that he was reaching into his

waistband attempting to remove a gun. As the suspect ran in front of a parked

car he finally got the gun out of his waistband and dropped it on the street. The

suspect then attempted to jump a fence and was not able to get over it before

Officer McDonald tackled him. Once on the ground Officer McDonald was able

get the suspect into custody. During a search of the suspect, Officer McDonald

found a second gun the suspect was carrying. After speaking with the victim it

was found that the two individuals Officer McDonald found were in fact the

suspects in the robbery. Officer McDonald’s clear radio traffic during the chase

allowed other officers to close in fast and set up a good perimeter and the second

suspect was also located shortly after the apprehension of the first. Officer

McDonald’s proactive response to a run, proved to be the difference in

apprehending an armed and dangerous felon. Congratulations Officer McDonald

and thank you for you dedication.

OFFICER INVOLVED SHOOTING / VEHICLE PURSUIT: PD16026527/I160680313, S Rural St and E Hoyt Av.

On Monday, March 8, 2016 at approximately 4:16 am, Officer Christopher Maher, C328, was investigating a suspicious vehicle. He ob-

served a traffic infraction and attempted a traffic stop. The driver refused to yield and led Officer Maher on a relatively short pursuit

through the neighborhood. During the pursuit, a passenger in the car began shooting wildly out of the rear of the vehicle and through the

rear window. The firearm is believed to be some type of rifle. Rounds struck his car. Two rounds struck his windshield. One round strik-

ing his windshield on the passenger side penetrated and exited the rear window. The other round striking his windshield was on the driv-

er’s side but did not penetrate the windshield. A third round struck his spotlight and likely ricocheted striking his driver’s window shatter-

ing it. The flying glass debris caused abrasions to the top of Officer Maher’s left hand. He was treated on the scene by medics. The sus-

pect vehicle has not been located and is described as a 4d 2001 blue Chevy Cavalier with IN 2016, In God We Trust plate REX218 and

having a loud muffler. The driver was described as a white male with dark colored hair and with a five day growth of beard, possibly

wearing a white tee shirt. It is believed the car and occupants frequent the area of 2900 Meredith St. There has been several arrests since

this incident..

This month we dedicate this column to the memory of: Deputy Carl Koontz, Howard County Unit 34-76.

Deputy Koontz was killed March 20

th, while serving a warrant in the Town of Rus-

siaville, and is the first law enforcement officer to die in the line of duty in Indiana in well over a year. Several citizens have asked what they can do for Carl and other of-ficers in general, and one of the most important is to place a blue light on the outside of the residence, reminding everyone of the support you show for law enforcement.

April - Crime Prevention and Monthly Observations

Stolen vehicles still a major problem – It seems Spring has finally arrived and with it much warmer weather. It has been the habit for each month in this column to re-mind citizen’s to not leave their cars running in the morning to ‘warm up.’ Yet, each morning officers come to work we receive report runs to vehicles which have been stolen while running. Please take the proper precautions if you are going to be warming your vehicle up, such as being in the vehicle when it is warming up, using a remote start or actively monitoring your vehicle while it is warming up with the doors locked. Do not leave your vehicles running while at a gas station or business.

Morning has gotten later recently – With the arrival of Daylight Savings Time the morning travel to work as well as early activities around homes and businesses is done in relative darkness for the next few months. Use caution when walking near alleys, in parking lots and while driving on dimly lit roadways

Officers use of firearms and what the public thinks - reprinted from The Force Science Journal.

In the past few months, there have been many stories in the news regarding officers using

firearms. A new study from Force Science: ‘When civilians would shoot...and when they think officers should.’

Fascinating experiments by 2 California researchers show that young civilians who might some-

day be on an Officer Involved Shooting jury overwhelmingly disagree with veteran officers about when police are justified in shooting armed, threatening perpetrators. Interestingly, tests also reveal that when facing shoot/don't shoot decisions of their own, civilians tend to be quick on the trigger--and often wrong in their perceptions. Even in ideal lighting conditions, civilian test subjects show "a very low capacity for distinguishing" a handgun from an innocuous object, such as a power tool. Forced to make a time-pressured decision, the vast majority would shoot a "suspect" who is, in fact, unarmed.

"On one hand," says Dr. Bill Lewinski, executive director of the Force Science Research Center

at Minnesota State University-Mankato, "this research should make civilians more sympathetic to offic-ers who mistakenly shoot unarmed subjects under high-stress, real-world conditions. "But on the other hand, the study shows the woeful lack of understanding most non-cops have about the larger legality and appropriateness of using deadly force. And this can result in serious ramifications in the courtroom." In their experiments, Sharps and Hess report, they first addressed "how untrained people would react if placed in the position of police officers confronting a situation potentially involving firearms and firearm violence." Eighty-seven female and 38 male college student volunteers of various races were each shown 1 of 4 high-quality digital photos of simulated "crime scenes." The settings were stage-set with the guidance of veteran FTOs from the Fresno PD, "all highly experienced in tactical realities and the sorts of situations encountered by witnesses and officers on the street." Three photos showed a lone white male subject, holding a Beretta 9mm pistol in profile: one depicted a "simple" scene, "sparse in terms of potentially distracting objects"; another a "complex" scene, "including street clutter, garbage cans, and other potentially distracting items"; the third a complex scene that included several bystanders and a young, female "victim" being threatened by the armed perpetrator pointing the gun at her in a 1-handed grip. In a fourth photo, the scene was the same as the third--except that the Beretta was

replaced with a power screwdriver.

P a g e 8 S o u t h e a s t N e w s

Before any pictures were shown, each volunteer was told that a scene "which may or may not involve a crime or sources of danger" would be flashed for 2 seconds or less on a movie screen. "You may inter-vene" by shooting at the perpetrator "to protect yourself or others if you see an individual holding a weapon," the researchers explained. Participants could "shoot" either by pressing a button or by firing a suction-tipped dart from a toy gun.

"The conditions for all 4 scenes involved uniformly excellent lighting (strong sunlight), and the rel-ative comfort of witnesses being seated," Sharps and Hess write. "There was no movement or occlusion of important elements of the scenes, and of course there was no personal danger for the respondents in the experiment."

The smallest number of individuals decided to shoot at the lone subject holding a gun in the sim-

ple environment with no victim. Yet "even under these circumstances, in which no crime was depicted," a strong majority--64%--decided to fire. This despite the fact that the perpetrator" as depicted could have as easily been target-shooting as committing a crime, the researchers note.

In the complex but victimless scene, 67% chose to shoot. When a victim and bystanders were

added, the proportion of shooters rose significantly, to 88%--nearly 9 out of 10. But most revealingly, when the suspect pointed a power screwdriver instead of a gun, some 85% "shot" him. "In other words," Sharps and Hess write, "respondents were equally likely to shoot the perpetrator whether he was armed or unarmed, as long as there was a potential 'victim' in the scene. It made no [statistically significant] dif-ference whether the perpetrator held a gun or a power tool."

Across the range of scenes, "when untrained people...'confronted' a suspect, the majority decid-

ed to shoot him under all conditions....[The] very high number of those who decided to shoot the un-armed suspect under ideal conditions might be inflated even further under the rapidly changing and vis-ually confusing circumstances of a typical police emergency."

The challenge the volunteers faced in distinguishing between the gun and the power tool was rel-

atively easy, compared to officers making split-second decisions in the field. Cops frequently have to employ "rapid cognitive processing" in darkness or semidarkness, often deciding in less than a second whether to shoot, the researchers observe.

"During that time, many factors in a scene must be evaluated: the suspect's motions; where the

weapon is aimed; the presence of other people, including other potential suspects, and whether they are in the officer's probable field of fire; other potential sources of hazard, to self, to others, and to the sus-pect, in the immediate environment.... "In view of these extensive processing demands, errors in per-ception or cognitive processing are likely to be relatively frequent....

"[E]xtraordinary demands are placed on the cognitive and perceptual abilities of police officers in

cases of gun violence. Public perception of these incidents, however, typically does not center on the cognitive or perceptual issues involved."

Instead, officers' errors in shooting suspects brandishing innocuous objects rather than guns are

"attributed, in many sources, to racism...and failures of integrity." It seems "incomprehensible, to many people, that officers could possibly mistake a [non-weapon] for a real firearm in the dark."

P a g e 9 S o u t h e a s t N e w s

Among several instances the researchers cite in which officers have been pilloried by the press and public for mistaken perceptions is the infamous case of Amadou Diallo, who was shot and killed by NYPD personnel in 1999 when he abruptly pulled a black wallet from his pocket during a confrontation. More recently, a subject was shot dead in Tacoma, WA, when he pointed a small, black cordless drill directly at officers.

"It should be noted that the situation in which most people [in the experiment] effectively decided

to kill an unarmed suspect was similar to the circumstances surrounding" these 2 cases, the research-ers state. The intensely negative reactions of civilians toward officers involved in such incidents may, in reality, "have more to do with highly unrealistic public and mass-media expectations, and with popular ideas about deadly force, than with putative racism or integrity issues on the part of police," Sharps and Hess suggest. A disturbing insight into the public mind-set regarding police use of deadly force sur-faced through a companion experiment conducted by the research team.

Again using digital photography projected onto a screen, 33 females and 11 males recruited from

freshman psychology classes were asked to view scenes in which a male or female Caucasian perpe-trator, positioned "among typical street clutter," pointed a pistol in a 1-handed grip at a young, female "victim." After viewing the scene for a full 5 seconds ("far more than ample observation and processing time"), each subject was asked "what a police officer should do on encountering the situation depict-ed"...and why.

Previously, 3 senior FTOs and a senior police commander had evaluated the proper police re-

sponse. All concluded that "there was no question that this situation absolutely required a shooting re-sponse for both the male and female perpetrator.... [A]ny police officer encountering this situation must fire [immediately] on the perpetrator...in order to prevent the probable imminent death of the victim."

To the researchers' surprise, the civilian volunteers overwhelmingly rated this a no-shoot situa-

tion. Only 11.36%--roughly 1 out of 10--"felt that a shooting response was called for," the researchers report. "[A]pproximately 9 out of 10...were of the opinion that an officer should not fire...although all of the senior police officers consulted stated that the situation depicted absolutely required a shooting re-sponse.

"This result may have important implications for situations in which 12-person juries must evalu-

ate a given police shooting....In any given, randomly selected jury of 12 citizens, these results suggest that on average, 1 or at most 2 jurors out of 12 would be likely to see an officer on trial in an officer-involved shooting situation as justified in shooting a perpetrator, even under the clearest and most ap-propriate of circumstances."

Sharps and Hess want to conduct further research before drawing any solid gender conclusions.

However, "no male respondent felt that a shooting response was justified with a female perpetrator," and only 1 in 16 female respondents favored shooting the male gunman.

The reasons the respondents gave overall for their negative views on shooting graphically illus-

trate the cop-civilian disconnect. Some thought the suspect wouldn't really fire because of "the daylight, public conditions of the situation." Others "concocted elaborate rules of engagement" under which an officer might shoot: if the suspect fired first, or if the suspect had already committed murder, or if the of-ficer had first tried to "convince" the suspect to drop the gun.

P a g e 1 0 S o u t h e a s t N e w s

Still others "literally invoked the need for clairvoyance on the part of the police, saying that an of-ficer should not fire...because the suspect 'did not look like she wanted to kill.' Several qualified their re-sponses with the idea that if the police had to fire, they should shoot the perpetrator's leg or arm, be-cause…”a shot to the leg is relatively harmless.”

The researchers speculate that "many of these unrealistic responses may have derived

from confusion of media depictions of police work with the real thing on the part of the pub-lic...and probably from unrealistic expectations concerning the workings and capabilities of the human nervous system.”

They conclude: "If these ideas and attitudes are as widespread as the results of this initial re-

search effort suggest, there is substantial need for better education in the realities of crime and police work for the public from which, of course, all jurors are selected. This extreme discrepancy between public perception and actual police policy and operations warrants further attention, both in future re-search and in the modern criminal justice system.

"It is clear that these [findings] assume special significance for the real-world courtroom circum-

stances under which actual witnesses, jurors, and public constituencies consider and testify as to the actions of law enforcement personnel in application to real-world violent crime."
