Loren Atherley is the Senior Director of Performance Analytics & Research and the Senior Research Scientist for the Seattle Police Department. He emphasizes the importance of taking an incremental, gradual approach to implementing evidence-based policing. He focuses on building data curiosity and buy-in within the department by providing useful analytical products and dashboards. He advocates for hiring "pracademics" - academics with applied experience - to help bridge the gap between research and practice in policing. This allows departments to leverage rigorous methodology while still understanding the practical realities. However, Dr. Atherley also acknowledges the need for caution when applying advanced analytics and machine learning to policing.

(The Center Square) – The Seattle Police Department saw the number of lateral officer candidates in 2024 nearly double from the previous year, as city leaders tout progress in addressing the department's post-pandemic staffing shortage. A lateral officer is an experienced, sworn law enforcement officer who transfers from one police department to another rather than being a new recruit. According to data collected by The Center Square, 34 lateral Seattle Police Department candidates passed the public safety civil service exams and were referred to the department for pre-employment screening. Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxx Read more: https://www.thecentersquare.com/washington/article_33869d6d-fe14-4c04-b8a2-dbd111f1121f.html

The Seattle Police Department's goal of increasing female officer staffing levels to 30% by 2030 as part of its 30x30 Initiative remains elusive. According to data collected by The Center Square, SPD's female entry-level hires made up 10% of the 1,163 candidates who were sent to the department for pre-employment screening. That is a 3% increase from 2023, but 3% less than hires made in 2022.Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxxFull story: https://www.thecentersquare.com/washington/article_ccd400d4-d8ec-11ef-bc38-935801fe2068.html

(The Center Square) – Seattle City Councilmember Cathy Moore has announced proposed reforms to limit the Seattle Police Department's use of blast balls for crowd control. Blast balls are rubber devices that create a loud sound and bright flash, and can also contain tear gas. Moore's reforms would be in the form of amendments for proposed Council Bill 120916, which is currently sitting in the Public Safety Committee. The bill would help the Seattle Police Department be in full compliance with a preliminary injunction regarding the department's crowd control measures.Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxxFull story: https://www.thecentersquare.com/washington/article_ebe9d3a8-cf9c-11ef-8d42-5b0c85ddb77f.html

Years of Service: 1989-2024James grew up with his dad in law enforcement but didn't initially have any desire to follow in his footsteps. However, after starting his first job at 20 years old, James soon realized he needed to do more with his life, and he eventually started to apply to become a police officer. In 1989, James began his career with the Seattle Police Department and for the next 35 years worked as a patrolman, served on the Anti-Crime Team, and as a Detective in the Narcotics Unit. James was also an SPD instructor who taught classes in different subjects specializing in undercover. James eventually reached the pinnacle of his career in 2005, when he became a Homicide Detective.In this episode James talks about what makes a good undercover, the downfall of the City of Seattle, the lowering of police standards in hiring, and the new generation's lack of work ethic. James also discusses a few of his homicide cases one of which he was featured in Netflix's series Worst Roommate Ever.

From the Archives is our Summer Break Series of Podcasts that highlight some of the most listened to content from previous shows. 22-Are you losing your religion? - Jeremy Wade Jeremy Wade, a former police officer, shares his journey of finding faith and wellness in the midst of the challenges of being a first responder. He discusses the early experiences that tested his resolve and faith, the toll it took on his mental health and relationships, and the importance of prioritizing faith and family. Jeremy also highlights the need for support and resources for first responders, including spiritual guidance and discipleship. He emphasizes the role of faith in providing hope and resilience in the face of trauma and the importance of integrating spirituality into wellness conversations. Mission First Alliance is a national nonprofit ministry that aims to unite and equip all who have a heart to reach first responders for Christ. They seek to bridge the gap between the body of Christ and first responders, bringing them together to collaborate and understand each other's work. The organization offers resources and support for chaplains, ministries, and individuals who want to support first responders. They emphasize the importance of faith and spirituality in wellness programs for first responders and believe that it is an often overlooked component. Mission First Alliance's mission is to build a gospel-focused First Responder Alliance and provide awareness and support to first responders and their families.   ABOUT JEREMY WADE Jeremy served for the Seattle Police Department for 13 years, but struggled with his identity in Christ vs his identity in the badge early in his career. After a few years on the department he fully surrendered his life to the Lord, which started an amazing journey that the Lord has been blessing along the way. While not free from challenges like the Seattle riots, and many critical incidents, Jeremy could see God's hand in directing his paths.      On the Seattle PD, Jeremy was awarded Officer of the Year, and Medal of Valor. He worked in patrol, in the training unit, as a peer support coordinator, and assisted in developing the department's first wellness unit. He co-founded the SPD Beds for Kids Program with Ryan Gallagher, that continues on today. Jeremy also served as the executive director of the Seattle Police Chaplains Association, and came alongside many other local and national first responder ministries.  In 2021, Jeremy, his wife Ketryna, and four kids, felt God calling them to move to Tennessee and step out in faith to do full time ministry, supporting first responders nationwide. This led to serving as the Training & Development Coordinator for the Fellowship of Christian Peace Officers- USA, until God started directing his path, and opening doors to start Mission First Alliance.  CONNECT WITH JEREMY Mission First Alliance is building a gospel focused first responder alliance.

Interim Seattle Police Chief Sue Rahr has a big mandate: Hire more officers, and clean up a department culture that has led to half a dozen lawsuits from high ranking SPD officers who say they were the victims of discrimination, harassment or retaliation.  Many parents and city leaders are also asking what more can be done to protect kids in Seattle schools, following a shooting at Garfield High School on June 6 that left one 17-year-old student dead. One idea that's gained some attention – and pushback – is to bring Seattle Police Department community resource officers back to Seattle Public Schools campuses.

Try Turkesterone with Tongkat Ali (Feminization Killer): (Buy Two Get One Free 48HR Promo) https://blackforestsupplements.com/reasonable The Seattle City Council approved a retroactive pay increase Tuesday for Seattle Police Department officers that would put starting salaries over $100,000. The Seattle Police Officers Guild (SPOG) had already approved the deal, as did the Seattle Mayor's Office, and calls for a 1.3% wage increase in 2021, a 6.4% increase in 2022, and a 15.3% increase in 2023. The officers will be paid in a one-time lump sum, but a City Council central staff document also says the cost is more than anticipated and will add to the already $230 million budget deficit. It does not cover 2024 and beyond. The vote was 8-1, with only Councilmember Tammy Morales opposing the raises. The starting salary is now $103,000. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/darien-dunstan3/message

From the outside, the Seattle Police Department might seem like a welcoming place for female officers in the male dominated field of law enforcement. But women in the force are starting to tell a different story about the department – one where they feel “pigeonholed” into specific roles and face harassment and sexism.

Seattle City Council members were briefed on the Seattle Police Department's (SPD) recruitment project on Tuesday. Some council members criticized the department for losing more officers than were hired in recent years. (A PDF of the project's specifics can be viewed here.) Council member Rob Saka, District 1, said it was unsettling to see the low staffing numbers. “I am personally alarmed and dismayed to see that,” he said. Seattle Police Department sees lower numbers in recent years SPD Chief Adrian Diaz reported Tuesday in his project presentation that staffing levels are at their lowest with over 700 officers departing his department since 2019. Diaz added that as of Jan. 2024, SPD only had 913 fully trained and deployable officers, the lowest level since the 1990s. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/darien-dunstan3/message

Police Officers Killed, Violence, Trauma During His Career. His Police Career involved a lot of violence and murders of Police Officers. As a Seattle Police Officer, pervasive violence and trauma accompanied Officer Jeremy Wade. In the early stages of his career, a fellow officer met a tragic end, and their trainee was left wounded by gunfire. A month later, a sinister ambush claimed the lives of four Lakewood Police Officers in a coffee shop. Tragically, a Deputy from a neighboring agency also succumbed to fatal gunfire. One pivotal incident unfolded on October 31, 2009, when Officer Timothy Brenton of the Seattle Police Department was fatally shot in the Central District of Seattle, Washington. Seated in a parked patrol car, Officer Brenton and his partner were deliberating a traffic stop when they became targets of a gunman who unleashed violence upon them before fleeing the scene. Officer Brenton succumbed to his injuries, while his partner sustained minor wounds. The subsequent apprehension of the suspect, Christopher Monfort, exposed an anti-police motive, leading authorities to characterize him as a "one-man war" against law enforcement. Police Officers Killed, Violence, Trauma During His Career. The wave of violence persisted on November 29, 2009, when four Lakewood, Washington police officers were fatally shot in a coffee shop. The assailant callously executed the officers as they worked on laptops, prompting a two-day manhunt that concluded with him being shot and killed by a Seattle Police Department officer after he refused to comply with orders. Police Officers Killed, Violence, Trauma During His Career.  Former Seattle Police Officer Jeremy Wade recounts his harrowing experiences, including a confrontation with a bank robbery suspect that escalated into a shooting and his involvement in an active shooter incident at a bar where his partner was injured.

American households pay at least $14,000 in hidden regulatory costs every year,” Wayne Crews, the Fred L. Smith fellow in regulatory studies at the institute, says in a new video provided exclusively to The Daily Signal. 10,000 Reasons to Reform the Regulatory State- Play 0:00-1:18 His analysis—the latest in a series of annual reports—finds that the average American household pays $14,514 annually in a hidden regulatory cost. Crews calculated the costs of regulation on the entire economy as $1.939 trillion, and found the average cost per household by dividing that gargantuan number by 133.6 million households. While federal law requires an annual estimate of the cost of regulation, the federal government has not met that requirement since 2002, according to the report. While the Office of Management and Budget has estimated some costs and benefits of major rules, the report finds those analyses incomplete because they do not encompass all rulemaking in each year. Crews’ report uses a baseline of roughly $1.9 trillion for the costs of federal regulation, encompassing compliance costs, economic losses and losses in gross domestic product, social costs, and other costs. The analyst took recent government reports into account to reach the $1.939 trillion figure, although he acknowledged that it represents an estimate “based on a nonscientific, disclaimer-laden, of GDP losses and compliance costs derived from available official data and other accessible sources.” The $1.9 trillion represents more than three-fifths the level of corporate pretax profits in 2022 ($3.138 trillion) and a far larger number than estimated corporate tax revenues ($382 billion). The report notes that while President Donald Trump’s four years “brought unique reversals, such as a reduced flow of new rules and some rollbacks of existing ones”, President Joe Biden reversed those trends. “Unprecedented open-ended deficits now standing at $1.4 trillion annually are expected to top $2 trillion annually by 2030,” Crews writes. The national debt is nearing $34 trillion (at $33.8 trillion now, according to the U.S. Treasury), which Crews notes is “up from almost $20 trillion when Donald Trump assumed office in 2017.” The report notes that Biden has launched many “whole-of-government interventions,” most notably on climate change and rooting out “inequity from our economy.” “These efforts have accelerated a long-standing process that is replacing self-determination and limited government with top-down behavioral, social, and civil rights codes,” Crews writes. Regulations issued by the executive branch far outstrip the number of laws Congress passes each year. During the 2022 calendar year, agencies issued 3,168 rules, while Congress enacted only 247 laws. While taxes clearly impact Americans’ pocketbooks and appear itemized on pay stubs, “regulatory costs are baked into prices, without separate charges on receipts,” the report notes. “Many regulations have opportunity costs, which are invisible and impossible to calculate. They can affect households directly or indirectly, such as when businesses will pass some regulatory costs on to consumers, just as they do the corporate tax.” The report suggests a wide range of reforms to check the growth of regulation. It urges Congress to require congressional approval of significant or controversial agency rules before they become binding. It urges Congress to require annual regulatory transparency report cards and legislation requiring the automatic sunsetting of regulations. It urges Congress to pass a law preventing presidents from using “emergency declarations” to impose permanent government controls. It also urges Congress to identify which federal agencies do more harm than good and to eliminate them or shrink their budgets. It also urges Congress to set up a regulation-reduction commission to identify unneeded regulations to eliminate. https://mynorthwest.com/3940877/rantz-inside-look-seattle-antifa-antisemites-starbucks/ An inside look as Seattle Antifa, antisemites vandalized Starbucks Antisemitic Antifa activists, anarchists and other radicals targeted the Seattle Starbucks Reserve Roastery as part of a call to “Block Black Friday.” They caused felony-level damage that led to one arrest. Activists promoted direct action by sharing social media flyers. The flyer claims the protest and mass vandalism were “autonomously organized by Seattle area radicals, anarchists, and community members.” The hope was to “shut [Black Friday] down for Palestine.” They were mostly successful. Exclusive videos from inside the café as Antifa and anarchists vandalized the storefront and taunted customers with vulgar hand gestures and taunts. It got so rowdy and dangerous that activists said they forced Starbucks to close. Several dozen activists surrounded the Starbucks Roastery. Many of them were dressed in black bloc, a style of clothing intended to hide personally identifiable characteristics so that police have trouble making arrests. It’s a hallmark of Antifa action. The video shows one masked activist tagging the building with the phrase “Free Palestine” in spray paint. They also spray-painted the Palestinian flag, anarchist symbols and messages like “Never Again,” “Free Gaza,” , “You are genocide supporters” and “Land Back.” The video also captures a masked activist flipping off customers. They even carved “Free Gaza” into the store’s wooden door. Another activist pounds his hand on the storefront window, taunting customers. One of the windows was nearly shattered and must be replaced and security cameras on the roof were sprayed with paint. “During all of this, the atmosphere was upbeat but chill, with people eating tamales and drinking coffee that were being distributed from a truck parked next to the demo,” an anonymous author published on Puget Sound Anarchists. The anarchist went on to brag about how effective the Starbucks protest was for their movement. The damage was significant, yet Seattle Police (SPD) did not intervene. “It was a temporary disruption that was handled and thankfully did not turn into a major issue,” a Seattle Police Department spokesperson told The Jason Rantz Show on KTTH. “As with any crime, incidents of vandalism are handled on a case-by-case basis. There are a multitude of factors that can determine when officers intervene. We are not at liberty to discuss our tactics as far as when officers will intervene.” The group marched into downtown Seattle after their assault on Starbucks. Once there, they disrupted the annual Seattle Christmas tree lighting ceremony. The author admits that activists “took over the stage soon after arriving and started throwing Christmas decorations to the ground and trashing the scenery.” There were a handful of activists who stayed on the stage, holding a banner reading “From Turtle Island to Gaza: Land Back.” Land Back refers to a movement of literal land reclamation to its so-called original stewards. As activists chanted and gave speeches in front of a crowd angry that the ceremony was interrupted, an officer spotted suspect Tarik Aly Youssef, who is based in Vancouver, Washington. On a TikTik account (@_thesphinx_) that appears to belong to the 25-year-old suspect, Youssef described himself as a transgender, polyamorous, pansexual, anti-capitalist, autistic Egyptian who is an “honorary member of Trantifa” (a name for transgender Antifa members). After The Jason Rantz Show on KTTH contacted Youssef via TikTok, the account’s videos were removed, and the account appears to be deleted. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/united-nations-set-call-americans-reduce-meat-consumption United Nations set to call on Americans to reduce meat consumption A lead United Nations agency overseeing food and agriculture policy is expected to issue a road map in the coming weeks which will call on the West, including America, to dramatically reduce its meat consumption. The UN's Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) will publish its so-called global food systems’ road map during the upcoming COP28 climate summit in Dubai which will kick off on Thursday and extend nearly two weeks until mid-December. FAO's first-of-its-kind document will recommend nations that "over-consume meat" to limit their consumption as part of a broader effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Bloomberg reported. "The failure of leading meat and dairy companies to reduce emissions underlines the urgent need for more policy focus on the food and agriculture sector," Jeremy Coller, the chair and founder of the FAIRR Initiative, an investor network that works with financial institutions to promote climate-friendly agriculture worldwide, said in a recent statement. In addition to issuing guidelines for reducing meat consumption in the West, the FAO is expected to highlight how farmers should adapt to "erratic weather" and tackle their emissions produced from food waste and use of fertilizer, according to Bloomberg. The recommendations, which the U.S. COP28 delegation may sign onto, will not be binding. Overall, the road map will seek to guide policy on lowering the climate impact of the global agriculture industry, which has rarely received such attention at past UN climate conferences. Past COP summits have been far more keen to address emissions generated from the global power, transportation and manufacturing sectors. The global food system — which includes land-use change, actual agricultural production, packaging and waste management — generates about 18 billion tons of carbon dioxide per year, the equivalent of 34% of total worldwide emissions, according to a March 2021 study published in the Nature Food journal. FAO data indicates livestock alone is responsible for around 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The UN has, for years, called for individuals to ditch animal-based diets, which it says "have a high impact on our planet." Instead, individuals should choose plant-based foods, according to the UN, which can reduce a person's annual carbon footprint by up to 2.1 tons. In the U.S., though, agriculture alone generates about 10% of total greenhouse gas emissions, federal data shows. The American agriculture sector accounts for just 1.4% of global emissions and has implemented a wide range of solutions, making it the nation's lowest-emitting economic sector.
