Community members invited to participate in police dialogues


The Seattle Police Department's Micro-Community Policing Plans Seattle University Research Team will be conducting a special series of “Before the Badge” community-police dialogues. These dialogues will be conducted virtually via Zoom on designated dates by precinct.


The dialogues offer the opportunity for community members speak with, share concerns and ask questions of new Seattle Police Recruits who are completing the SPD “Before the Badge” training, a 45-day training that newly hired SPD recruits take prior to the Law Enforcement Academy Training Program.
