May Day 2015 Briefing

Situation
May Day 2015 will take place on Friday, May 1st. Previous May Day protests saw property destruction and physical assault in the downtown business
district as a result of anarchist criminal activity. Self-proclaimed anarchists conducted criminal acts under the cover of the protest marches, resulting in
confrontations with the police and damage at various locations. Based on the success of last year's deployment, this year's event will be staffed
similarly, with adjustments made as needed.
There are three significant events scheduled for May Day, 2015. The first event begins at 1030 hours at MLK Jr. Park at 2200 MLK Jr. Way So. Entitled
"Black and Lumpin," the event has the possibility to be disruptive to the community if it leads to a march.
The largest event begins at 1400 hours at Judkins Park at 2150 S. Norman St. This is the annual immigration march that could involve up to 5,000
people. The march is scheduled to leave the park at about 1500 hours and will go to the Federal Courthouse at 700 Stewart St. This is traditionally a
peaceful march. There will be a smaller event beginning at 1300 hours at the CASA Latina at 317 17th Ave. S. Entitled "May Day! March in Solidarity
with Farm Workers," they will hold a rally and then join the Immigration March. This event will possibly have an attendance of about 100 people. Refer
to the attached map for the march route.
The final event is planned for 1800 hours at Seattle Central Community College. Information about this event is somewhat limited, but it is indicated
that it will include a rally and a march (route unknown). This event has been problematic in past years, resulting in property destruction and numerous
arrests. Last year, this event ended at about 2300 hours.
These events will be consolidated under a single command for the purpose of deploying SPD resources and providing for public safety needs. All events
will be under the 2015 May Day command structure.
Mission
The mission of the Seattle Police Department is to enforce the law and preserve order. The Seattle Police response priorities are life safety, incident
stabilization, property conservation and crime scene preservation.
Concept of Operation
COMMAND:
Assistant Chief Steve Wilske will be the city-wide commander for all SPD resources and will be located at SPOC.
Capt. Chris Fowler will be the Incident Commander for all May Day events.
Lt. Phil Hay will be the Operations Section Chief.
SPOC:
The Seattle Police Operations Center will be activated for this event. The SPOC will be staffed with the normal SPOC personnel and will be assisted by
the Seattle Fire Department, WSP, Federal Protective Service, US Marshals, FBI, Metro Transit, Seattle Department of Transportation and the
Downtown Seattle Association.
DEPLOYMENT PLAN:
The first deployment of SPD resources will begin with an 0800 hrs roll call at the West Precinct. This roll call will be attended by most of the resources
deployed for the day's events. Following this roll call, personnel will be deployed to the MLK Jr Park event and to other locations in the West Precinct to
establish an SPD presence early in the day. Lt. J. Arata will oversee resources assigned to the MLK Park event. Lt. M. Garth-Green will oversee
resources assigned into the West Precinct.
A second roll call will take place at 0900 hrs. This roll call will also be held at the West Precinct. Personnel assigned to this roll call are primarily from
the detective units that will be providing infrastructure protection throughout the downtown business core. Following this roll call, the personnel will
be deployed into the downtown area to provide a police presence in those areas that have seen violence and property destruction in during previous
year's.
The Immigration Rally and March at Judkins Park will be commanded by Lt. B. Grenon. Personnel assigned to this event attended the roll call at the
West Precinct at 0800 hours. Resources assigned to the Immigration Rally and March will gradually be shifted into that area with all assigned resources
in place prior to the start of the march. The SPD Traffic Section will provide an escort for the march.

Concept of Operation (continued)
There is an 1800 hours rally scheduled at Seattle Central Community College. This event has been problematic in the past. It generally results in a
march to an undisclosed location. The makeup of the crowd involved in this march has included individuals that are set on creating disruption, property
damage and confrontation with police. Lt. J. Arata will command the officers assigned to this event. As this event evolves, it may move into the West
Precinct (as it did in 2014). When that takes place, command of the event will transition from Lt. Arata to Lt. Garth-Green.
There will be three rapid deployment squads assigned to this event.
RDF #1... Lt. T. Mahaffey will command all 2nd Watch Patrol resources from the East and West Precincts
RDF #2... Lt. R. Smith will command four fully hardened squads, including South & East ACT (following the MLK Park event), 2nd Watch Patrol
resources from the SW Precinct and the CUTeams
Rapid deployment resources will be deployed as directed by the Operations Section Chief.
Freeway protection will be provided by WSP, Valley CDU and Bellevue PD.
There will be two separate Infrastructure Protection groups (IP) assigned to the event. Lt. J. Fitzgerald will oversee the IP-West group that consists of 5
squads of detectives and 1 squad of Port of Seattle PD Bikes. His group will be focused on the downtown business core. Lt. S. Strand will oversee the IPEast group that consists of the North and South 2nd Watch Patrol. His group will be focused on the business core in the East Precinct.
The East Precinct will use East CPT and East Burglary detectives to provide security for the East Precinct facility. Lt. Ballingham will oversee the precinct
security operation. They will be supported by field personnel in the event protestors move into the area of the East Precinct facility.
Citywide 2nd Watch Patrol personnel have been assigned to this event (see RDF and Infrastructure Protection deployment). All 1st Watch Patrol
personnel will work until 1600/1630 hours. All 3rd Watch Patrol personnel will be brought in at 1500 and 1530 hours.
Capt. J. Koutsky will oversee personnel assigned to SPD Headquarters security. Detectives will be assigned initially to specific posts throughout the day.
Field personnel will be brought in to augment the assigned detectives as needed for any protest activity near SPD HQ.
All personnel assigned to these events will wear their issued lime green traffic control vest. This does not apply to individuals assigned in undercover
capacities.
