The Spotlight: Police recruiting wars as Seattle faces looming public safety crisis

Five-figure bonuses, four-day work weeks, take home cars … all perks being offered in the battle to convince qualified officers to jump ranks between law enforcement agencies in Washington State. Meanwhile, crime is soaring in Seattle as police staffing hits crisis levels. Can the emerald city avert a public safety emergency?

I’m a mental health therapist and I responded to domestic violence calls under a police department. On the one call I was not escorted by an armed officer (he left for an officer down call) both myself and the victim were beaten by the perpetrator who had returned to the scene as soon as he knew the squad car had left. I have worked on several crisis teams, and my experience has convinced me that unarmed “alternative” officers will NOT be effective. We can act as support officers, but are unlikely to control the scene without authority.

@gsaexperience8578 2 жыл бұрын

What?? What?? That’s literally an extremist type of statement. I encourage you to look up the channel “lack luster” and “audit the audit”. Our current way of policing is ineffective and the war on drugs is mostly to blame. Especially in democratic areas and major cities that are the most effected. We have police that don’t even know the constitution and they are literally Sovereign citizens because of qualified immunity. I agree we need a police force but not a militarized one that doesn’t even know the laws. It’s easier to become a police officer than it is to become a mechanic. And one you have a gun. Our current and continuing system of justice is corrupt at the least and criminal at the peak. Repeat offenders who commit multiple armed violent crimes are out to wander free and addicts are forced to go to things like 90day-1 year rehabs, DUIs (victimless crime) sometimes people will get 3-5 years even when no one was hurt and they barely blew over the limit. Police get nearly endless funding and top of the line military equipment. Zero things in place to hold them accountable like mental health screens annually or physical fitness. Also, going back to your original comment. You are asking the police and government to prosecute political extremists?? By who’s standards? Yours? You are Insane woman.

Crime continued to get worse. Taxes went up. A city manager embezzled a bunch of the bond money and was never prosecuted. It was all bad. Don't fall for this. Get rid of your city council and DA first. Until the leadership changes, no amount of new officers will make a difference. You will just get ripped off.

Lol I called in to file a report for a kidnapped child and was waiting for 5 hours near the northgate exit of I-5 until my lawyer called me and said it’s ok to head home and we will have to go into the precinct to file it. Mind you multiple cops drove by to get Starbucks, who I asked to help me, but they said they weren’t the ones here to help and to keep waiting.

Imagine if Police Department's hired people that didn't have violent records just a few mess-ups. Wouldn't it be nice.

Well from what I’ve heard you need to appear perfect on your “Application.” Maybe if they let people who’ve had true life experiences that can relate to all kinds of people with some understanding then maybe they’d have people wanting to apply. Anyways

What happens when you defund the police? This!

Maybe not have it so that every use of deadly force, no matter how clearly justified, results in an automatic murder charge? Just throwing things out there.

Starting a new country isn't easy. The new government runs on donation instead of taxation. Non lethal alternatives for public policing in Cascadia are in order. Lethal force by police, execution and abortion are banned across the continent now for the same reason. This is just understanding basic rights.
