When serving <br /> high-risk search/arrest warrants or when determined to be necessary on other types of SWAT <br /> situations all SWAT team members involved in the operation and service shall wear markings <br /> that clearly indicate they are police officers.

RECORDS MAINTENANCE AND PUBLIC DISCLOSURE <br /> Each party shall maintain all SWAT records pertaining to their own agency's personnel,to <br /> include records relating to team training, operational planning and after-action reports. All <br /> records possessed by either party shall be retained in accordance with applicable State law. The <br /> Everett Police Department shall maintain all training records, operational planning documents <br /> and after-action reports of its personnel and the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office shall <br /> maintain all training records, operational planning documents and after-action reports of its <br /> personnel. All records related to the performance of this Agreement shall be available for full <br /> inspection and copying by any participation jurisdiction,but each agency shall retain copies of <br /> all records created, owned or used by that agency for the records full retention period. <br /> Response to public disclosure requests will be coordinated between all parties. Upon receipt of a <br /> public disclosure request by any participating agency,the Region 1 SWAT Commander(s)will <br /> immediately be notified. The SWAT Commander(s)will ensure that all participating agencies <br /> are aware of the receipt of the public disclosure request, even when the request is only directed at <br /> one member agency. The release of such information shall be coordinated among all <br /> participating agencies. The coordination shall include consultation when an agency must <br /> produce a record created by another agency prior to producing the record. All participating <br /> agencies will follow applicable State laws relating to public disclosure. <br /> When a request is directed at only one member agency,but it is determined that the request <br /> requires the responding agency to produce records possessed by other agencies,those other <br /> agencies will fully cooperate by providing any responsive records after conducting its own <br /> independent search, if required. <br /> When a request is directed to the Region 1 SWAT Team,each participating agency shall conduct <br /> its own independent search of any records in their possession and collect all responsive records <br /> pursuant to the request. All member agencies will coordinate the release of responsive records. <br /> The member agencies shall be jointly responsible for any violation of the Public Records Act <br /> that occurs in response to a PRA request directed at the Region 1 SWAT team,provided that if it <br /> is determined that one agency is solely responsible to a particular violation,that agency shall <br /> indemnify the other agency not responsible for the costs and damages resulting. <br /> Each member agency shall be solely liable for any PRA violation in response to a request <br /> directed solely at that agency,unless the violation results from the non-responding agency's <br /> negligent failure to produce records in the sole possession of the non-responding agency, in <br /> which cases both agencies shall be equally liable. <br /> Revised 12/2013 32 <br /> 53 <br />
