Seattle lost 170 police officers in 2021; more to leave amid vaccine mandate: report
Fox News
The Seattle Police Department lost 170 officers in 2021 and dozens more are expected to leave in the coming weeks because of a COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
A police spokesperson told the news outlet that around 950 officers were deployable. The department has lost 350 officers since 2020, with most leaving after protests erupted following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
The office of Mayor Bruce Harrell told the news outlet he doesn't plan on reversing the vaccine mandate but acknowledged that there was a staffing problem in the police department.
