This month the guest speaker was Sgt. Sean Whitcomb from the SPD Public Affairs Office. SPD is trying to be transparent and communicative for both citizens and journalists. It uses numerous ‘channels’ to communicate on-line these days, including the SPD Blotter, a Twitter feed, the SPD official website, Tweets by Beat, Tumblr blog, Nextdoor, Facebook and YouTube. The minutes, below, has descriptions of each channel and their web addresses.
We are very near to getting our new Crime Prevention Coordinator. The candidate’s background check was taking a very long time for some unknown reason, but it’s nearly done.
Please take Seattle U’s public safety survey at http://publicsafetysurvey.org to let SPD know what public safety issues are most important to you.
SPD and NPAC are collecting new socks, hats, scarves and gloves, as they do each year. Please take donations to the North Precinct at 10049 College Way N, near North Seattle College. Thanks!
