Cm Burgess to present “A New Philosophy of Policing” at the 2/23 EastPAC Meeting

In light of the recent BJA report regarding to the Seattle Police Department, we have invited City Council Member Tim Burgess, who will speak about his recently published policy essay entitled “A New Philosophy of Policing”. Recently chair of the Council’s Public Safety Committee, Tim was able to identify Best Practices in crime prevention and policing strategies.  The entire essay can  be found within Tim’s website- http://www.seattle.gov/council/burgess/ – in the current issues column.  

 Our new Precinct Liaison Attorney, Matt York, will also be present and give a brief introduction of what he will be focusing on to reduce crime and improve the quality of life in our community.
