The Washington State Patrol has received and completed your records request (below). Attached please find a copy of the public record(s) you requested. The WSP does not have a specific arrest policy for civilian domestic violence incidents. Our general arrest and detention procedures apply to any type of arrest and are included here. The domestic violence policy the WSP does have pertains to empoyees and is found in the Rules of Conduct policies. That policy is also attached here.

No information has been redacted or withheld from these records. If you have questions, please contact me.

Sincerely,
Gretchen Dolan, CPRO
