Seattle by the Numbers
The numbers are in, (they are calculated May to May)
Population: 775,000
Police Officers: 838
If you do the math that equals: 1 officer for every 925 citizens
Target for police full police staff: 1,400
If you do the math that equals: 1 officer for every 554 citizens
Is it any wonder why the Seattle Police Department is no longer going to pursue rape cases? Did you hear that all you defund the police, my body - my choice, protect the children by banning guns, and let them eat cake political leaders?
If you are not a numbers person, but you are a feeling person, this means the Seattle police department will take no (0) new adult sexual assault cases, because they only have 4 officers in that unit.
Did you think that was bad news? Here are the projections
New Hires in Police Department this year (same as last year): 22
Anticipated lose of police officers this year: 200
If you do the math: That could leave only 658 police officers in Seattle
If you do the math: That is 1 officer to protect 1,778 citizens each.
These policies, which made Seattle a safe haven for criminals, came from only 1 political party in this state: Democrats.
It is time to give credit where credit is due.
