Seattle Mayor hires a firm to investigate SPD sexism and harassment claims
Seattle Mayor, Jenny Durkan, has announced the hiring of an external firm to investigate claims of sexism and harassment within the Seattle Police Department (SPD). The move comes after several current and former female officers have come forward with allegations of harassment and discrimination within the department.
Mayor Durkan stated that these claims are serious and will be fully investigated by an independent third party. The firm will conduct a thorough review of the allegations and provide recommendations on how to address and prevent such behavior in the future.
The investigation comes at a time when the SPD is already under scrutiny for its handling of numerous high-profile cases, including instances of excessive use of force and racial bias. The Mayor has emphasized the importance of ensuring a safe and inclusive workplace for all employees within the department.
The Seattle Police Officers Guild has expressed support for the investigation and has stated that they are committed to working with the City to address any issues that may arise. The firm hired by the Mayor is expected to begin its investigation immediately and provide a report with findings and recommendations in the coming months.
