Seattle Police Department Interim Chief Sue Rahr sat down with KOMO News Senior Reporter Chris Daniels for a one-on-one interview the day after she started her new role.
Rahr spoke with KOMO News in her first interview since officially taking the job on Wednesday, replacing a demoted Adrian Diaz, who was moved by Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell into a special projects role.
Rahr said she was out shopping at a craft store with her daughter-in-law two weeks ago when she got a request to take the job and “get things stabilized.”
She is not wasting time reinstating command staff and talking about retaining and recruiting to the department.
Rahr talked at length about what she believes can be accomplished when it comes to recruiting. She also said she wants to implement a flexible scheduling policy to recruit and retain officers. She campaigned for it in Olympia and believes a change in state law this past session, along with approval from the guild, would allow her to find more boots on the ground.
