Officer A went to the school to look into the issue, and Officer B responded as a cover officer. • Officer A met with the mother, who had a custody agreement indicating that she had sole custody and decision-making authority over her daughter. As Officer A was leaving the room, the mother stated that Charles Landeros (the child’s other parent) was under investigation from the FBI and had anti-government and anti- police beliefs. • Officer A then went to the principal’s office; she had called Landeros, who was also there. Officer A confirmed that the custody agreement the mother had shown him was the most recent and accurate. Landeros asked if they could take their daughter, and Officer A stated that the court paperwork indicated that they could not. • The principal indicated that she would check with the mother to see if she intended to take their daughter from the school and see if they could come up with a plan. She left the office.  15 Summary of Facts • Officer A asked Landeros when their daughter had come to stay with them; Landeros asked why he was asking and stated that they did not want to answer. Officer A then asked Landeros to leave, and stated that if Landeros would not answer questions, then they should leave. • Landeros left the principal’s office. Officer A conferred with Officer B for a moment and informed him that Supervisor C was coming to the school; he also conveyed the information from the mom that Landeros held anti-government and anti-police views. • Officer B approached Landeros, who was standing in the hall. They spoke for a moment before Officer A approached (and captured the interaction on video). Landeros stated that they were waiting for the principal and wanted to speak to the principal before they left. Landeros asserted that the police did not have jurisdiction in a school. Officer A asked Landeros to listen to him. • Landeros, at that point, noticed their daughter and shouted her name. They began to walk past the school exit doors, towards their daughter in the hallway. Landeros shouted to their daughter a few more times, at which point Officer B placed his hands on Landeros’ upper arms and began to attempt to move them toward the exit doors.  16 Summary of Facts • Landeros repeatedly shouted their daughter’s name, as Officer B moved them toward the doors, and Officer A stated “You’re going to end up getting arrested.” • Landeros continued to shout their daughter’s name, and “Let’s go!” as Officer B moved them out of the school and Officer A followed. • Once outside, Officer A stated that Landeros was under arrest. Officer B moved Landeros toward the wall outside of the entrance to the school. Landeros began shouting “Let go of me!” and spun away from Officer B’s grip. • Officer B and Landeros ended up on the ground, at which point the video shows Landeros pull out their firearm. Landeros shot twice: once in the direction of Officer A, and once out and away from the school entrance. • Officer A drew his weapon and shot once, but pulled his shot as he was concerned about accidentally hitting Officer B, as Officer B and Landeros were still wrestling on the ground. • Officer A then aimed his next shot at close range to Landeros and fired. Landeros stopped struggling immediately.  17 Summary of Facts • The Interagency Deadly Force Investigation Team (IDFIT) was called and responded to investigate the incident. • Our office was notified, and the Deputy Police Auditor responded to the scene with Internal Affairs staff. • The IDFIT investigation was reviewed by the Lane County District Attorney’s office, who determined that the involved officer’s use od deadly force was legally justified as self-defense and defense of others. • The IDFIT investigation was then turned over to EPD, and served as the basis for the administrative investigation into the officers’ actions, focused on compliance with EPD policies. • The administrative investigation culminated in a meeting of a Deadly Force Review Board on April 2, 2019. The Board issued its findings in a memo dated April 7, 2019. • Deputy Police Auditor Leia Pitcher served as a non-voting member of the board.  18 Deadly Force Review Board Policies Reviewed: • 800 Use of Force • 801 Use of Force Reporting • 812 Department Firearms • 1203 Body-Worn Video Recommended Adjudication: • The Board made a recommended finding that Officer A’s and Officer B’s actions were within policy. • The Deputy Auditor concurred with that recommended finding.  19 Issues for CRB Discussion • Complaint Intake and Classification • Internally reported; Auditor’s office was notified in a timely manner • Classification: Force Investigation • IDFIT Investigation, Administrative Investigation, and Monitoring • Relevant Department Policies and Practices • 800 Use of Force • 801 Use of Force Reporting • 812 Department Firearms • 1203 Body-Worn Video • Policy and/or Training Considerations • Adjudication Recommendations • Internal Review Board and Deputy Auditor concurred • Additional Comments/Concerns  20 Human Rights Commission Budget Fiscal Year 2020 (FY20) DATE REQUESTING GROUP EVENT OR DESCRIPTION AMOUNT BALANCE July 1. 2019 $4,500.00 SPONSORSHIP $4,500.00 $4,500.00 $4,500.00 $4,500.00 $4,500.00 $4,500.00 $4,500.00 SUBTOTAL $0.00 $4,500.00 WORKPLAN EXPENSE SUBTOTAL $0.00 TOTALS $0.00 $4,500.00 011‐2535‐####‐612022  21 ANDRADE Fabio From: no-reply@ci.eugene.or.us Sent: Monday, September 9, 2019 2:33 PM To: Human Rights and Neighborhood Involvement; ANDRADE Fabio Subject: Online Form Submittal: Human Rights Commission Request for Support Categories: Fabio [EXTERNAL ⚠] Human Rights Commission Request for Support Human Rights Commission Request for Funding The City of Eugene allocates funds each fiscal year to the Human Rights Commission (HRC) to use to support community events.
