Beginning the second week of February 2000, the Civil Disturbance Training Unit was assigned
the task ofpreparing the Metropolitan Police Department for the planned demonstrations.
Although CDU training is an ongoing process, this event was outside the realm of normal crowd
management that we encounter on a daily basis in the nation's capital. Primarily, we had to
prepare for thousands of demonstrators that were bent on civil disobedience as a means to
accomplish their goal; shutting down the meeting of the IMF and the World Bank.
Training began on February 28,2000, with the first two days dedicated to command police
officials from Captain through the Chief of Police. On March l, 2000, training began for all other
CDUpersonnel. The haining schedule was 0630 to 1500 hours, Monday through Saturday with
Sunday being the only day off for the instnrctors. The training curriculurn consisted of the
following subject zrezn:
o Analysis of the Seattle Demonsfration
o Demonstrator Tactics
o Psychology of MOB Behavior
o Demonstration ofNew Protective Equipment
o Mass Arrest Procedures
o Use of Force Protocol
o Crowd Control Formations
o Less Than Lethal Munitions
During the course or preparations the training staff was able to continually update police
personnel on the tactics that would be employed against them. This was accomplished through
liaisons with our Intelligence Division as well as periodically accessing the demonstrators own
web sites on the Internet. The importance of this information cannot be understated as it allowed
the haining staff to prepare our officers for the demonstrators tactics, as well as the police
departrnents response to those tactics. Thus, the officers were not caught by surprise and were
informed as to what they would uncounter.
Members of the CDU training staff were also asked to develop arrest team tactics for members of
our Focus Mission Teams that would be deployed along the event perimeter. Their primary
function was to extract individuals from the crowd that were throwing harmful objects, engaged
in criminal activity, or otherwise deemed to be a threat to public safety, and positioned so that the
uniformed line officers could not get to them.

Training culminated on April 8, 2000. The CDU training staff had tained, in just over a month
the following personnel;
MPDC Command Members 65
MPDC CDU Members 1300
MPDC Non CDU Members 200
MPDC Focus Mission Teams 60
US Secret Service Uniform Division 350
Metro Transit Police 75
Total Members Trained 2050
During the IMFAMorld Bank Protests the Menopolitan Police Deparfinent arrested
approximately 1400 individuals. On Saturday, April 15,200,the police departrnent mass arested
687 individuals from a single location. This number is surpassed only by the May Day
Demonstrations of 197 1.
As the result of the enormous training requirement and effort the WTO conference was held
without any disruptions and the city functioned with minor inconveniences. There was little to no
property damage or any major injuries to our law enforcement persorurel or the demonstators.
Additionally, several other police departrnents from across the nation have contacted our
departrnent to assist them with their. civil disturbance training prognms. In conclusion I would
recommend that he be officially commended by the Commanding Officer of the Institute of
Police Science and that a copy of this commendation be placed in his personnel file

Commendable Performance of Duty By
0ffi cer Joseph l,J'il I i ams
SUBJECT:
On August 7,1999, the Metropolitan Police Department handled the Knights of Freedom
(KOF) Demonstration/March. The event required an enorrnous amount of preparation
since civil disobedience was anticipated. Traditionally, the Training Unit of the Special
Operations Division (SOD) would provide equipment (i.e., chemical munitions, riot
shields, mass arrest gear, etc.), logistical support and, most importantly, expertise.
Since the unit had been disbanded and personnel transferred, it became imperative to seek
the assistance of the former Training Unit members for the aforementioned detail. As a
result, several of the members readily volunteered to assist SOD in accomplishing its
mission.
On the day of the detail, these members, now assigned to the Institute of Police Science,
eagerly reported to SOD's Civil Disturbance Unit (CDU) Storeroom. The members
assisted with the loading ofthe cruisers (trucks) that were utilized to transport equipment.
The member consequently received assignments and responded to their designated posts
without fail.
