On 02-14-2022 at 1737 hours, officers responded to a report of a female in crisis at Cal Anderson Park. The female in crisis climbed into the water fountain at the park and a witness reported that she had been there for 45 minutes prior to police arrival. When officers arrived, they observed the subject possibly under the influence of narcotics and in a hazardous position. The subject was standing in a pool of water and under a running cascade of water. She was also in an elevated position on a concrete barrier with a dangerous drop. The outside temperature was approximately 45 degrees. Officers began negotiating with the female, but she appeared to be in a confused and depressed state and refused to come down from the fountain. Officers saw signs of hypothermia setting in and asked for Seattle Fire to stage as well as AMR. Sgt arrived on scene and after observing no compliance for 15-20 minutes, requested that CRT or HNT respond to the scene and a negotiator arrived a short time later to assist in negotiations. For a short period, another citizen also in crisis jumped into the water with the first and tried to interfere with negotiations. When this second female tried to yank the first crisis victim off an elevated position, officers moved in to remove the citizen. Once the interfering citizen was removed an officer waded into the cold water and began to negotiate with the person in crisis from a short distance away. The crisis subject expressed that she was so moved by this act that she agreed to step off from the elevated position and allowed the officer to lead her out of the fountain. The crisis subject was taken by ambulance to Harborview Medical Center for medical treatment for Hypothermia and for the ITA. Negotiator 1 monitored this incident.
