A trio of complaints against former Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best connected to the 2020 racial justice protests sat in limbo for a month and are still pending long after she retired.
Mayor Bruce Harrell recently sent all three to an outside agency for investigation earlier this year. His office, the Office of Police Accountability , and the Office of Inspector General all say former Mayor Jenny Durkan’s refusal to send the complaints to an outside agency are the reason for the stall.
Regardless, the situation has exposed a gap according to Seattle City Council Public Safety Committee Chair Lisa Herbold who is now working to remedy that with legislation in the works that was discussed briefly during Tuesday’s committee meeting. One of the most important changes was to clarify that there is no role for SPD to play when it comes to the investigation of a complaint made against the police chief.
