SEATTLE (KOMO) — Skyrocketing response times and SPD staffing shortages were the focus of attention at the Seattle City Council Public Safety Committee meeting.
During discussions on the SPD Quarterly Finance and Staffing Report Tuesday, city council addressed SPD staffing levels and reports that response times for certain crimes can take more than 60 minutes to response to.
Seattle Police warned this is exactly what would happen, as response times are getting longer and longer for certain crimes with the mass exodus of nearly 300 officers.
“This attrition is concerning and when we look at 911 response times as well,” said Councilmember Alex Pedersen.

None of this matters until 100% of all cases are handled by social workers in that city.

If Seattle had fewer ‘tards, wouldn’t the response time to ‘tarded actions be reduced?
Seattle needs to get a better class of Citizens. Really.

If the Council President now cares about recruitment and retention at the Seattle Police Department, she should look at departing officers’ exit memos who note lack of support from City Council as a key reason for job dissatisfaction and separation... The City Council doesn't care.

The solution is simple. Just reclassify some crimes as non-crimes. For example, carjacking could be reclassified as “ involuntarily car-loaning”. Then the police wouldn’t have to be called at all.
See? It’s easy.
