Officer who Terry Caver on Queen Anne sidewalk last year gets 20-day suspension

Seattle CPC cancels planned mayoral candidate debate

The Community Police Commission (CPC) will no longer be hosting a planned mayoral candidate debate focused on public safety and police accountability as it was originally environed. Former Council President Bruce Harrell has declined our invitation to participate.

The CPC still hopes to find the best ways to educate and facilitate a community dialogue about the critical issues Seattle’s future mayor will face regarding public safety and police accountability. We hope to share those plans with you at a future date.
