The task force will help “stem the tide of gun violence” in Seattle.
.As a result of these recent violent acts, Diaz announced the formation of the Community Violence Task Force.Diaz said that he was speaking across his department, including regional and federal partners because “violence isn’t in just Seattle, but events outside of Seattle can and do affect us.”
The task force will help “stem the tide of gun violence” which tends to increase over the Summer months, Diaz said. Officers and detectives throughout the department will be a part of this new task force and specialty units will be rerouted to four problem areas of the city: Aurora, Central District, South End, and Downtown.Diaz said Seattle police will be increasing their visibility in areas where violence has been “widespread.”
“Men or women, if you are selling drugs and are committing crimes with a gun, Seattle police are coming for you,” Diaz said. “We will arrest you and hold your accountable.”Diaz hopes to have the task force up and running by “next weekend,” which would be the beginning of July.
