The National Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force Program enhances the capabilities of law enforcement agencies in investigating child s*xual abuse and exploitation.

Last week, Pullman Police detectives attended specialized training in behavior analysis, offender tendencies, and interviewing child s*x offenders; along with how to address the cognitive and psychological impacts of these cases on law enforcement personnel. The training was hosted by the Richland WA Police Department and presented by the Seattle Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force.

Pullman PD investigators handle many ICAC-related cases, and are proud to participate in ongoing training that helps us to protect our most vulnerable residents.

Did you know?: The Pullman Police Department responded to 1,354 mental health-related calls in 2025, including welfare checks, mental health crises, suicides, and suicidal subjects. Combined, these made up 13% of all calls for service last year.

Law enforcement officers are frequently the first responders on scene of a mental health crisis. When Pullman Police officers respond to these calls, they use the information that is immediately available to determine whether there is a threat to public safety.

In most cases, officers de-escalate through compassionate dialogue. When appropriate, people are put in contact with less intrusive mental health resources, such as 988. In some instances, they are provided with a safe transfer to Pullman Regional Hospital, to speak with a mental health professional.

In other cases, mental health crises put bystanders, family members, or the general public at risk. When these situations arise, law enforcement must work quickly to ensure the safety of others. Circumstances may require that the subject be taken into custody. Whenever possible, Pullman Police officers seek input from a mental health professional, who determines whether the individual can be safely incarcerated.

As always, it is the mission of the Pullman Police Department to provide professional police services that prioritize public safety, quality of life, and the rights of all.
