sponsored by Democratic State Rep. Debra Entenman, to create the new Office of Independent Investigations . This further strengthened laws on the books for cops not investigating cops.
“We intend to have six investigation teams throughout the state located in the eastern part of the state, the central part of the state,” OII Director Roger Rogoff said during Wednesday’s meeting. The office is working on an internal manual detailing how they’ll do their work, including protocols on interacting with current independent investigations teams and with the agencies involved in the incident. All information will be publicly shared once approved.But it is a bit unclear when they might be ready to take on cases.
HB 1267 makes clear the ultimate goal is to have a civilian agency running these investigations. Some cops wonder how someone with zero investigative experience could run what potentially amounts to homicide investigations. While Rogoff could not offer a definite date on when OII would start taking cases, his team says they expect to have a public website available in the next few weeks where people can get more information on the process and where things stand. In the meantime, asthis week, use of deadly force incidents continue to happen around the state, including a recent case in Olympia where officers shot and killed Timothy Green.
