Over 200 officers have left the Seattle Police Department since the 2020 summer protests, including Carmen Best, the city's first Black police chief.

Officers have quit in protest of calls to "defund" the police, which includes cutting salaries and cutting jobs for as many as 100 police officers. Interim police Chief Adrian Diaz said the department's reduced numbers have led to a "staffing crisis."

During last year's large protests, City Council members and others criticized the department's responses, including being too aggressive and quick to use tear gas on protesters.
