    Couldn’t happen to a more deserving chap.

    The investigation revealed Diaz appointed the employee to a position that did not exist at the time and had not formally existed for some time. Diaz said there was a job description written that the human resources department helped prepare, but two members of the police command staff contradicted this claim. According to the letter, there was no formal application process and the position appeared to overlap with the Director of Strategy Communications position held by another employee. The employee reported directly to Diaz and was placed on his command staff.

    The dude sucks at corruption.

      This is just a seattle cop doing seattle cop things. No reason to cover corruption up when there are basically zero consequences for it.

      SPD has been under a federal consent decree for over 12 years. Its the only reason the department did anything about this at all.
