Acting Seattle Police Department Chief Adrian Diaz told KOMO News Tuesday that his department is experiencing a staffing crisis as it looks to fill vacant positions that have resulted from officers leaving the agency to pursue jobs with other agencies.
According to new data, the agency has shed roughly 200 in-service officers since the beginning of 2019 but Diaz said they currently have 1,080 officers ready to deploy.
Diaz, who was tapped to fill the role after former Chief Carmen Best retired suddenly last summer, said current staffing levels don’t allow for an adequate response to 911 calls.
“At this staffing level, no," he said. "We are struggling to making sure we’re responding to all calls for service."
