Seattle Police Chief Candidates and Public Schools

Melissa Westbrook:

The Mayor's office was kind enough to allow me to go to the media interviews with the 3 candidates for police chief.

First up was Interim Chief John Diaz. Low-key is definitely the by-word here (maybe even anemic). There is no doubting his sincerity and commitment to SPD. However, when I asked him about his thoughts on policing in the school district or programs to curb youth violence, I got a whole lotta nothing. I followed up, thinking maybe he didn't understand me, but it was just a lot of blah, blah, blah about working with the district. For my narrow perspective, it was disappointing.
