#269 - Report on Seattle emergency calls could shake up defund police debate

A new, privately funded analysis of dispatch data from the Seattle Police Department shows that the city’s most diverse neighborhoods have the most number of high priority 911 calls, providing new support for the argument that cutting police staffing will hurt the communities that call it the most but that have also been the most critical of the agency.

The report was created by Scott Lindsay, the public safety adviser to former Seattle Mayor Ed Murray and who also last year authored the System Failure report that was critical of the way the city's criminal justice system handles habitual offenders.

Lindsay found:
-An 82 percent increase in the number of Priority 1 calls in the city’s most diverse neighborhoods; and
-A 114 percent increase in responses to serious crimes in minority neighborhoods compared to other less diverse neighborhoods in Seattle.
