Mayor Katie Wilson, on Tuesday, has officially opened up the search for the next Chief of the Seattle Police Department, just one month after relieving former police chief Shon Barnes of his role. She has laid certain qualifications for the role along with the following steps in the process.
She asks for a leader who understands public safety and making sure it works hand in hand with public trust. The new Chief must also be visible, accountable and present in the neighborhoods and its residents and businesses across the city.
