Harrell has shared details of a new agreement between the city and SPD, focusing on officer retention and more civilian responses.
“Our highest priority is a safe and healthy Seattle and this tentative agreement is a shared commitment with our police officers to continue strengthening public safety,” Harrell said in a news release on Tuesday.
The agreement would also eliminate the required 5-day notice to officers of misconduct with the goal of speeding up the administrative process.One major change would be the use of more civilian resources in general. Civilians would also be able to review automated traffic camera tickets related to traffic signals, rail crossing, speeding, traffic obstructions, blocking intersections or crosswalks, transit-only lanes and stopping or traveling in restricted lanes.
The city also said 2024 negotiations are still ongoing with the help of a mediator appointed by the Public Employment Relations Commission.
