Topic: A Police Wife’s Perspective
Last week, I received a heart-rending letter sent to family and friends from a young woman I’ve known and loved since she was a toddler. She was raised here, and she and her husband lived in West Seattle until just recently. They were both very active here in civic organizations, she as a social services director and he as a cop.
We’re grateful to have had peaceful and meaningful demonstrations of community support for the black community here in West Seattle. But there has been violence elsewhere in our city. My friend feels that folks are not getting any perspective on SPD, and what the force and their families are going through. A number of you might even know and respect this couple from their community work, but I’ve omitted her name to protect them. Her letter follows. It’s long, but worth reading.
Dear friends,
I am asking that you please take a few minutes to read this. After days of violence in Seattle, I feel it is important for you to hear my perspective as someone who is both an advocate for social justice and wife of a Seattle Police Officer.We are locals but I met my husband while working as a teacher in South Central L.A. When I heard that he wanted to be a police officer someday like his father, I probably cringed inside. At the time, I didn’t personally know any cops and believed the stereotype (that many have right now) that people often become police officers because they are power hungry and corrupt.
As I got to know him better, I learned about the role his father played with the Seattle Police Department helping victims of internet crimes against children. My respect for my future father-in-law grew as I realized he was fighting to keep some of the most marginalized and vulnerable populations safe. His job meant he had to see and deal with horrifying situations that no one should have to deal with, a sacrifice he was willing to make to help get a child out of a sexually abusive situation or a young teen out of human trafficking.
When my husband started the police academy and then eventually became a police officer, I got an insider’s view of the complicated roles police officers play to protect the public and also ensure that they can go home safely at the end of their shift. I also saw the numerous trainings, the high level of accountability, and the scrutiny cops are under daily while doing their jobs in the city of Seattle.
For several years, I worked at a social service agency and my husband worked at a precinct right down the street. He spent a lot of nights doing community talks in local neighborhoods to create trust and build relationships amongst the community and police. He often referred community members who were in need of resources to my organization. We spent a lot of time talking about the deep-rooted systemic problems within our society and what part we played in making progress in the right direction. I think it was around that time that I truly fell in love with him.
Becoming part of the Seattle police family completely changed my perspective on police officers. The Seattle police force is a diverse mix of people from different races, sexual orientations and backgrounds. I have never experienced such a cohesive group of people who are authentically themselves and respect each other and their diversity. It is almost a model for how the rest of the community can build diverse relationships. I’ve learned how the Seattle Police Department has been a leader in police reform for over a decade: they must follow very specific protocol, and have oversight from a variety of community groups while maintaining a high level of transparency with the actions they take every day.
Throughout my husband’s career, he has put his life on the line again and again to arrest individuals with extensive violent criminal histories. These are dangerous people in the community who have committed heinous crimes like murder, rape, and running organized prostitution rings. My husband now works as a bicycle officer in downtown Seattle. As a bicycle officer, he has been a part of hundreds of protests in a city that has demonstrated national leadership in peaceful protests.
I have never felt more worried in my life over the current status of things in our nation today. The death of George Floyd was disturbing and immensely sad. My husband was upset and angry when he heard about George Floyd’s murder. He knew it NEVER should have happened and the cop should be charged with murder. Seattle police officers were outraged along with the community and nation.
I expected protests. I didn’t expect what they would evolve into night after night after peaceful protesters went home. For many nights my husband and his fellow officers had to endure conditions that are unacceptable. SPD cops are human, therefore not perfect. But they have shown remarkable training and restraint under very trying conditions.
In the evenings, individuals in the crowds have carried baseball bats, wood shields, metal poles, sticks with screws, large rocks, cinder blocks, bricks, fireworks like M-80s, Molotov cocktails, improvised explosives, lighter fluid, and frozen water bottles to name a few. They have written signs and graffiti that say “Kill Cops” and “All Cops Must Die.” Their rhetoric has consisted of things like, “Take your gun and shoot yourself in the head.” Some council members validated that message by saying their anger was justified.
My husband has been punched in the head. He’s been hit with rocks, gallon milk jugs, and numerous other objects. He’s been sprayed with bear mace. Fellow officers have gone to the hospital from having explosive devices and objects like cinder blocks hurled at them. He has personally removed hammers and knives from individuals. Another night my husband told me his job was to locate a group of individuals and remove their homemade explosives. My husband has been told by multiple people that they are going to look up his name and track down his family to kill them. My husband has asked me to deactivate my social media pages because people are threatening to follow cops home and kill their families. Some are looking to social media to gather details on family members.
One night my husband’s precinct was greatly outnumbered by a crowd trying to break into his precinct to light it on fire. That night I felt sick to my stomach when I briefly talked to him on the phone while he was inside the precinct. I could tell by his voice that he was concerned for his safety and that of his fellow officers. The night before, multiple rows of fences were set up around the East Precinct. People cut the last fence and created sharp objects facing the police and then moved the other fences. The police were told to stand down. The East Precinct is now boarded up and empty. What happens when the people of this community need a police officer to protect their safety? It could be you and they won’t be nearby. [NOTE: SPD is still responding to 911 calls in the area.]
All I hear from the media, mayor, and city council is how police were inciting crowds and instigating violence. Some city council members are now asking to dismantle the Seattle Police Department because of their actions during the protests. Often, using flashbangs and gas was the only way to disperse the crowds. Police are being told to no longer use gas. Yet it is a useful tool to protect themselves and disperse crowds in the least violent way, often hours after a set curfew and many reminders from police to leave the area. They have only used gas once crowds have turned violent and it becomes a public safety concern. Ask yourself honestly if you could withstand the abuse, tension, long hours and the danger without having recourse to some defensive self-protective actions when safety becomes an issue. Then ask yourself honestly if you would ever in a million years take this extremely risky and unappreciated job in the first place.
My husband has worked 17-hour days for days on end. Yesterday he worked from noon until 6 am this morning and has only had a day off to work from home to catch up on paperwork. His father, who had been working from home as part of the vulnerable Covid population, was called in to work 16-hour days amongst thousands of people when the riots started. The Seattle Police Department is already understaffed and crime rates have risen in Seattle over the last few years. There aren’t enough officers for 911 calls as it is. My husband is called in frequently on his days off because the department is so understaffed. If the city defunds the police department as Seattle City Councilmembers are now calling for, crime will only get worse and the safety of our community members will be more in jeopardy. Many good officers are looking to leave the department because they are doing their best but feel little support from leadership or the community they have sworn to protect.
Why? Because these conditions are unacceptable for our public servants and the narrative most are hearing about the Seattle Police Department is extremely misleading. It amplifies fear and anger at our police officers and creates more division within our community. Not all police departments across the country are the same. The Seattle Police have been at the forefront of change and they keep working at it. My husband is frustrated that years of work towards reform and building trust in the community has been completely lost.
I see systemic racism in all facets of society and law enforcement is one of them. I understand why people are upset. As a community we are crying out for peace, love, and equity. We all want change. I just wish people were getting the message that our local police officers want it too. Friends, please realize that you can be an advocate for Black Lives Matters and change, while also supporting our local police. We are going to have to solve these issues together! If I hadn’t met my husband or his father, I might not know or understand this myself because that story is not out there. That’s why I am reaching out to tell it.
Nothing justifies what was happening night after night to our local officers, who were doing their best to balance the civil rights of peaceful protesters, curb violence, protect citizens, property and themselves. Our city leaders need to hear you tell them that. Please take the time to contact them. Thank you.

ThanksI am a fellow West Seattleite and I am looking to help out the local small businesses and non-profits in my community who are struggling. I would like to offer free consultant services to a business that is in need of someone to organize the projects they have or just to consult on best practices. My mission is to help businesses and non-profits who cannot afford professional project management services (and I get to help the community I love grow. Win-win!)
My objective is to meet with the business to determine the scale of their needs and determine if they need someone to lead a portfolio of projects, one or two projects, or just help organize their projects for easy execution (by either me or themselves – depending on the work involved since I currently work as a Project Manager). We can then agree on the time frame of services and the expectations of how many hours per week. Also, you may not even know what you need and I can listen and guide you to your best options.
