Your input needed on our next Seattle Chief of Police!
NEWS RELEASE
FROM THE OFFICE OF THE MAYOR
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Contact: Kamaria Hightower, Mayor’s Office, kamaria.hightower@seattle.gov
City of Seattle Launches Community Input Survey to Kick Off Public Outreach for New Permanent Police Chief
Seattle (Feb 20) – To help select a permanent Chief of Police to lead the Seattle Police Department, the City of Seattle is kicking off public outreach by launching an online Community Input Survey to allow Seattle residents to provide their input during the search process. Seattle community members can visit http://www.seattle.gov/
“The next police chief must be able to lead our rank and file and be committed to an accountable, diverse police department focused on meaningful and lasting reforms and building trust in the community they serve,” said Mayor Jenny Durkan. “To find our next police chief, our Police Search Committee is committed to listening to all our residents, including those in communities that have the greatest distrust of police and the criminal justice system. The input and leadership from Seattle neighborhoods and communities is critical to helping recruit the right Chief, so I hope our residents will take this quick survey to ensure their voice heard.”
“The next police chief will be critical to the City’s ability to continue advancing critical public safety initiatives and police reforms, as well as, continuing to build trust with historically underrepresented and over-policed communities. Members of the Chief of Police Search Committee care deeply about the public safety and reform priorities of our community members. I strongly urge people from all backgrounds to complete this survey and tell us what you want to see in your next police chief,” said Councilmember M. Lorena González (Position 9, Citywide).
The 25 member Police Search Committee is comprised of a broad range of community leaders, including many with extensive and unique experience in criminal justice reform and policing. Led by four co-chairs, this diverse Search Committee is leading a national search process to find the best candidate for Seattle’s next police chief and is working with a national search firm, Public Sector Search & Consulting, to gather and screen applications. Following the community engagement process, the Police Search Committee will conduct interviews with applicants, the Search Committee will submit their recommendations to Mayor Durkan.

February Meeting Highlights
Tuesday, February 13 at 2 Fingers Social
Highlights provided by Marianne McCord.
Last month we got busy discussing what we would like to accomplish as a group in 2018. Below is a brief outline of possible goals:
1. Crime/graffiti - This would be an ongoing goal, one to coordinate with police. But immediate results could be seen by helping neighbors get rid of graffiti- perhaps incorporating a work team with our monthly clean-up crew.
2. Clean up crew- Continue our monthly clean-ups. These have been very successful in meeting neighbors and engaging within the community.
3. Derelict/ Abandoned buildings- These buildings continue to blight our neighborhood causing problems such as public safety (i.e fires and used needles), crimes (theft, gun shots, car prowls etc.) and general nuisance (garbage, rodents, noise).
4. Redevelopment of the Delridge Triangle- Kim Barnes (chair of WWRAAH) has spearheaded these efforts and needs additional assistance. Whether or not we adopt this as one of our goals; if interested, please contact Kim at kim.barnes.la@gmail.com.
5. Restoration of wetlands by Chief Sealth High School- coordinate with DNDC.
6. Apply for city-grant money. This goal would help facilitate improvements that the South Delridge Neighborhood has needed for quite some time.
Even though we are an active group; obviously, we can't take on all of the above. So we are trying a new structure for the upcoming year with our organization being committee-led. A committee for each selected goal will be formed with a point person (or lead) elected for that committee. Our goal is to vote on committees and leads at the March meeting. We hope as many as possible can attend so your voice is heard and you can choose which committee most speaks to your interest. If you are unable to attend but are interested in volunteering (for a one-time event, to serve on a committee, to serve as the lead of a committee or more), please contact Marianne McCord at southdelridge@gmail.com.
On another West Seattle note, SDOT is taking public comments on the elevated light-rail into WS until March 5th. At last Wednesday's Delridge Neighborhoods District Council Meeting, Lyle Bicknell (Office of Planning and Community Development) stressed that the city has heard from other communities and made changes based on those comments- "decisionmakers tend to see the light when they feel the heat." Go to: wsblink@soundtransit.org to voice your opinion! More information on this topic can be found in the West Seattle Blog (WSB):
http://westseattleblog.com/2018/02/light-rail-tunnel-talk-west-seattle-transportation-coalition/
SDCG would like to give a big shout-out to Tracy Record of the WSB. She's been super supportive getting the word out about our new time and place. Thanks Tracy!
Another big thank-you to Ed and Andrew, proprietors of 2Fingerssocial Club! Not only will they reserve tables for us each month but they even put us on their Facebook page. The bar has great drinks and food, give them a try!
