    Seattle also getting it turnaround.

    DISPATCHES FROM THE BLUE ZONES: Fewer than 50 Seattle police officers working first watch for the whole city.

    Multiple sources in the Seattle Police Department told The Post Millennial that sufficient staffing levels for a city as populated as Seattle should have no less than 250 officers on each watch.

    However, according to those same sources, there were only 47 patrol officers working first watch on Friday, putting the department operating at only 18 percent capacity.

    To paint a better picture of the dire situation, as the staffing crisis got worse during the “Defund the Police” movement, the department pulled police personnel from other departments–like detectives and traffic officers–and put them back on patrol.

    This means that staffing numbers are exceedingly low even after the department has utilized all available resources.

    Previously: Seattle Defunds the Police Again. “Voters have rejected lawlessness, but the City Council isn’t listening.”

    Related: Seattle mayor calls for more police with violent crime highest in 14 years: ‘Status quo is unacceptable.’

    And: Seattle Republican Councilman Gaining Popularity for His ‘Refund the Police’ Initiative.

    Portland is short 300 police officers.

    Thanks DIMS!

    Dumbasses gonna dumbass.

    You can cruise at 75mph on any freeway around here and not worry about a cop on bike nailing your ass like back in the day. It's a GD free for all out there. I've seen more road rage the last year than at any point previously.

    Everyday I drive into the city I see at least one, and often mulitple people driving extremely wrecklessly. 80 - 90 miles an hour, whipping across lanes, absolutely fucking crazy. I already have a little bit of a lead foot and these maniacs pass me like I'm standing still.

    Yeah, went to Eugene and back a couple of weeks ago and didn't see a state trooper on I-5. Fast lane was going 80 mph. On the other hand, West Linn, Lake Oswego and Tualatin are fully staffed and you see them everywhere on traffic patrol.
