Critical Incident Briefing - February 22nd, 2023 - 23rd Ave and Glendalehttps://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/police/2679Police3/8/2023 7:00:00 AMhttps://youtu.be/fXMh2NPn6TUCritical Incident Briefing - February 22nd, 2023 - 23rd Ave and Glendale<div class="ExternalClass91D16A0EBC2840979444804D58569609"><html>WARNING: The attached video may contain strong language as well as graphic images which may be disturbing to some people. Viewer discretion is advised.<br><br>This incident occurred in the area of 23rd and Glendale Avenues when a Phoenix police detective was conducting investigative follow up of a domestic violence aggravated assault at a home in the area. During the follow-up, the detective saw a man who resembled the suspect of the aggravated assault. He requested backup from patrol officers.<br><br>Several patrol officers responded and searched for the vehicle. Ultimately, it was found nearby unoccupied. Officers continued to search for the man in the area. A physical description was given out over the radio to help in the search.<br><br>As the search continued, a two-man patrol unit was driving south on 23rd Avenue from Glendale. They saw a man matching the description of the suspect. The man jumped a fence into the parking lot of an apartment complex. The officers followed as the man positioned himself behind a white pickup truck. As officers approached, they saw the man with a handgun in his hand and heard one shot fired. One officer fired in the direction of the man.<br><br>Officers used less-lethal tools to encourage the man to come out from behind the truck. The individual did not respond, and the officers moved in. A firearm was located near the area where the man was detained. He was treated by the fire department but died on scene from his injuries. Preliminary evidence on scene suggests that the man died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. None of the shots fired by the officer hit the suspect. No one else was injured during this incident. The firearm was recovered near the man’s location.<br><br>The officer involved in this incident is assigned to the Desert Horizon Precinct and has approximately 9 months of service with the department.<br><br>This incident is the subject of both an internal and a criminal investigation, which will be reviewed by the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. Conclusions about whether the actions of the officers are consistent with department policy and the law will not be made until all facts are known and the investigation is complete.<br><br>Body-worn cameras are used by all officers assigned to patrol and several specialty units. Per policy, they are worn at mid-torso level and capture the view of the line of sight from that perspective. It's important to note that the camera lens is fixed and does not capture everything seen or experienced by the officer.<br><br>When activated, both audio and video turn on. The body worn camera has a buffer of video without audio for the 30 seconds prior to activation. This feature is designed to capture incidents that happen suddenly where an officer doesn't immediately activate<br><br>the camera. The Phoenix Police Department does not currently use in-car camera systems.<br><br>Conclusions about whether the actions of the officers are consistent with department policy and the law will not be made until all facts are known and the investigation is complete. An internal investigation by the Professional Standard Bureau is currently underway, in addition to a criminal investigation. Once the criminal investigation is complete it will then be reviewed by the Maricopa County Attorney's Office.<br><br>Public records law required redaction of certain personal identifying information before video is released publicly. That is why you may see some parts of Body Worn Camera (BWC) blurred or covered with a black box. Redacted video is released to local media in conjunction with the release of this Critical Incident Briefing for independent review and publication. Complete, unedited versions of the BWC are released to attorneys and the courts as evidence in a criminal case.<br></html></div>https://phoenix.gov/policeVideopolicePolicePolice Main PIOphoenixpd.pio@phoenix.govhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/MediaContact/Attachments/36/Police2.pngPhoenixPolice
