From Odmp.org on Wednesday, January 5, 2011, "Chief Ralph Painter was shot and killed after responding to a local car stereo shop on Rock Crest Street in which a man was attempting to take a car that did not belong to him. When Chief Painter made contact with the man a struggle ensued. The subject was able to disarm and fatally shoot him. The man then exchanged shots with responding officers before being wounded and taken into custody." Doug Kazensky was a Police Officer, acting as a Supervisor in the bordering city of Longview Washington. He was dispatched to the scene along with numerous other officers. He talks about the shootout, giving first aid to the mortally wounded Chief Painter and the hard lessons learned that day. Doug also talks about how that incident affected him when it came to training and how, after retirement from policing it motivates what he does with Vector Solutions.
