#1,899 - Seattle has MORE homicides than new police hires in 2023!

Imagine a city where homicides outnumber new police hires. Welcome to Seattle, where defunding the police movement has resulted in dire consequences. This episode shines a light on this shocking reality, and the startling statistic that 669 officers have resigned since 2019. We track the story through the lens of the Seattle Police Department, hearing from their president about the dwindling police numbers and the growing concerns. We tackle the uncomfortable truths about public hostility faced by the force and the diversity challenges they experience despite being one of the most diverse police departments in the US. 

Strap in as we navigate the choppy waters of the recruitment crisis affecting the Seattle Police Department, exacerbated by the expiration of their agreement with the city in 2020. Discover how a lack of support from city officials and a federal judge's ruling have added fuel to this burning issue. We uncover the political implications of the defunding decision and its effect on the city's safety, as well as a shocking lack of media coverage. We question what this means for the future, especially considering the apparent lack of interest in policing careers from the next generation. Join us as we unmask the realities of defunding the police and the ripple effects it has on our cities and the people who call them home.
