Seattle Chief of Police resigns Due Budget Cuts

Here’s another one. The SPD covers about 143 square miles with about 1400 sworn officers. The proposed budget cuts will reduce that to about 1300.

This means that instead of a little less than ten cops per square mile, they’ll have a little more than nine.

Armageddon just waiting to happen.

The US seems to have infinite police. You are certainly much more heavly policed than a normal country.

Actually, we’re marginally more heavily policed here than in the US. We average just over ten cops per square mile. But we get more for our money.
