Seattle Police Chief

Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz is stepping down from his position. It comes after he and the department have been hit with several lawsuits from former and current officers.

The Seattle police guild argues that Seattle Police Officer Daniel Audere's comments about Jaahnavi Kandula heard on bodycam video were taken out of context.

After serving as interim chief for two years, Adrian Diaz is now the permanent chief of the Seattle Police Department. KNKX Morning Edition host Kirsten Kendrick visited Seattle Police Headquarters to talk with Diaz about his ongoing tenure and top issues for the department and the community it serves.

Three misconduct complaints against former Seattle police Chief Carmen Best from summer of 2020 stalled and are still pending. Police watchdogs and Mayor Bruce Harrell’s office say the cases sat because former Mayor Jenny Durkan’s office didn’t agree to send them to an outside investigator, though she disputes that characterization.
