Скачать или смотреть Seattle City Council member questions new drug use prosecution directive

A Seattle City Council member is expressing significant concerns over a new directive for prosecuting public drug use cases in the city.

This follows the city attorney's recent clarification on drug use enforcement, emphasizing treatment over filing charges. Allegations from the police union suggested that the Seattle Police Department was directed to halt all arrests for drug use and possession.

However, the police chief, mayor, and city attorney have refuted these claims, stating that arrests will continue. The city attorney highlighted a shift towards diversion, aiming to get individuals into treatment rather than jail, with a special team established for this purpose.
