That, according to Mayor Jenny Durkan of Seattle:
Seattle mayor calls for more police after six shootings in one weekend
Mayor Jenny Durkan said Seattle lost 250 officers over the past 17 months
The mayor of Seattle is calling on the city to rebuild its depleted police force after six separate shootings rocked Washington state's largest metropolitan area over the weekend.
"As a city, we cannot continue on this current trajectory of losing police officers," Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan said during a Monday press conference. "Over the past 17 months, the Seattle Police Department has lost 250 police officers which is the equivalent of over 300,000 service hours. We’re on path to losing 300 police officers."
Durkan added that the weekend violence is a "reminder" that there are certain emergency situations that require sworn police officers.
