Defunding the Seattle Police Department Means New Sexual Assault Cases Will Not Be Investigated

None of this is a surprise to anyone. Nearly a year ago, former Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan said, “We’re on path to losing 300 officers.” She also explained why it was happening, “Not unexpected, losing these number of officers, when city leaders talk about cutting the department by 50 percent. You will lose employees. Families need security. Workers, even police officers, need working conditions that support them.”

Two years ago protesters and members of the Seattle City Council were demanding the city defund its police force. And two years later it’s clear officers haven’t forgotten. In April KUOW published this chart of deployable SPD officers over time. At the end of 2019, before the death of George Floyd and the push to defund the police, the city had 1,281 such officers. By the end of last year that number was down to 958 officers.
