On June 27, the Port of Seattle invites tenants, customers, and community members to meet the Port’s police chief finalist candidates at a virtual public forum. Come meet the finalists and learn more about their backgrounds and approaches to policing.

Register for the virtual public forum (here). Attendees are also invited to submit questions for the finalists in advance of the forum at policechiefsearch@portseattle.org – please submit your questions by June 22.

Port of Seattle police officers and civilian employees provide primary law enforcement services to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) and more than 30 miles of waterfront property, piers, marinas, and cargo and cruise ship terminals. The Department serves the community in many ways such as dispatching and responding to 911 calls, assisting the public, providing proactive patrol, and facilitating the safe and expeditious movement of traffic. Officers routinely interact with a diverse population and numerous different local and federal agencies.

The Port began recruiting for candidates in spring 2022 and expects to make a final decision this summer.
