“After taking a deep dive into the allegations, here’s what I found: nothing.” “In this case, I was stopped from doing a part of my job.”
After taking a deep dive into the allegations, here’s what I found: nothing.
The SPD public disclosure unit still hasn’t provided any documents. Other agencies, depending on the size and city, can take anywhere from two weeks to three months to respond to PDR requests. It’s been 20 months with the SPD. “The Seattle Police Department needs additional time to respond to your request. Due to our current workload and backlog, we are still locating the records responsive to your request,” the staffer wrote.
This is only slightly better than what it was in previous years. Yet, the department is being hit with an exponential number of PDR requests from the media and general public. But waiting 20 months is wholly unacceptable and the SPD, Mayor, and Council should ensure a better-staffed department. The work of this staff is important.This is no longer a story about Council hypocrisy. It’s about accountability.
