FILE – The Seattle Police Department emblem is seen on the side of a patrol vehicle downtown. The data is in and when it comes to Seattle Police Department’s use of force the numbers appear to be moving in the right direction.

"Those three years have had the lowest recorded use of force since consistent data collection began in 2015," Berbelis said. SPD's use of force data has been analyzed and assessed by Seattle's OIG. The analysis was mandated by the U.S. District Court as part of the 2012 consent decree. "I have watched SPD officers communicate, give folks space, distance, and really try to resolve situations," said Judge.

Maxey told councilmembers the data will help inform policing, and said the department needs to get to the right type of policing for the communities it serves.
