Today Chief Best sent a message to officers to convey the financial outlook of the City and address any future cuts that may happen within SPD. 1/4
While no decisions have been made yet, we wanted the community to be aware of the situation. Laying off 50% of the department would be catastrophic for public safety in the city of Seattle. 2/4
The Department has made a conscious effort to hire employees, both sworn and civilian, who represent the diversity and values within our community. 3/4
Cuts this deep mean we would lose more than 50% of our (BIPOC) officers. These officers’ life experiences make us a better department and community. 4/4 spdblotter.seattle.gov/2020/07/10/chi… Image
