"Disturbances - Dispute in playground area of city park at 167th and Fremont over smoking".

This disturbance is likely the direct result of Ordinance No. 630, passed by the Shoreline City Council on March 26, 2012, which prohibits all tobacco use in all Shoreline parks, but which leaves enforcement to the public.

The police blotter emphasis on this occurring in a "playground area" is misleading. The City's staff recommended an "outright prohibition of tobacco use in all park areas" because to do otherwise could "send a mixed-message to children and youth that tobacco products are consistent with a healthy environment and lifestyle." The City Council accepted that recommendation. They rejected an alternate ordinance that would have limited the tobacco ban to park areas of "high concentration" (such as playgrounds).

Section 8.12.395 of the Shoreline Municipal Code, regulating Tobacco use in parks, states:

No person shall use tobacco in any park area. “Tobacco use” is defined as the smoking or lighting of cigarettes, cigars, or pipe tobacco, or the use of smokeless tobacco. [Ord. 630 § 1, 2012].

The City Council did not allocate additional resources to enforce this new law, relying instead on signage (which in this case, unlike its other park ordinances, does not site the specific regulation) and staff's recommendation to "rely on education and ‘peer to peer’ enforcement as the predominant enforcement mechanism."

So this is 'peer to peer' enforcement at work--a disturbance in the Shoreline Police Blotter.
