Closed case summary documents summarize internal investigations into complaints against Seattle PD officers.

A couple cases to highlight:

#SeattleOPA

Last November, #Seattle police staged a SWAT training near a school that was visible from the school playground without notifying the school.

The principal and several parents complained to the Office of Police Accountability that it was insensitive and unprofessional, especially since there had been a recent local school shooting.

#SeattleOPA ruled the complaint unfounded because they "found no policy or training requiring that accommodation" 🙄🙄🙄

Fmr. Mayor May Have Pushed OPA to Delay Investigations Into Fmr. Police Chief

#Seattle #SeattleOPA

Oakland commissioned an outside investigation into several very deficient IAD investigations into one officer. The Chief of Police is now on leave.

Posting here from my Seattle account because I'll bet the sort of thing uncovered here is 99% certain to be happening at OPA and with Seattle's Chief of Police.
