Over the weekend, OPA tabled at the CID Night Market, which connects with the community about the Office of Police Accountability. We shared information about our systems, encouraged participation in our community survey, and invited folks to our upcoming Symposium on 10/22.

OPA is made up of 22 civilian employees and 9 sworn officers. This mix of people brings different viewpoints, which helps make sure investigations are fair, thorough and unbiased. All investigative decisions are made by civilian employees and the OPA Director has final say.

🔎 During investigations, OPA may issue a Management Action Recommendation (MAR) to the Chief of Police, suggesting policy or training improvements. While not required, SPD actively collaborates with OPA on solutions. See all MARs here ➡️ seattle.gov/opa/policy/polic…

OPA was thrilled to present to Empowering Youth and Families Outreach’s summer literacy program.   We engaged directly with youth sharing about our careers and leadership journeys at their Career Speakers series and had brilliant participation from the students.
