Carmen Best, Seattle Chief of Police
October 2nd at Noon
Grand Hyatt, 721 Pine Street
The Seattle Police Department continues to set a national standard for equitable and constitutional policing. Through the hard work of the women and men of the department and the support of the Seattle community, the Seattle Police Department has made numerous achievements in the pursuit of public safety, public trust, and employee wellness. This work has been led by the department's five guiding principles: Service Excellence, Reducing Crime and Disorder, Data-Driven Policies and Practices, Honor and Professionalism, and Business Efficiencies. These principles summarize the department’s goals and priorities during the next few years as outlined in the Seattle Police Department’s 2019 Strategic Plan.
This week, Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best will discuss the recently released plan, which captures key accomplishments and future goals. She will also highlight recent investments that address public safety challenges in our rapidly growing city.
Paying tribute to our main speaker, Brandon Lee, Consul General of Canada in Seattle, we opened with a song…”this land is your land from Nova Scotia to Vancouver Island.” Mr Lee has been in Canada’s diplomatic corps since 2004, serving as ambassador to the Silicon Valley, and as strategic change agent for the World Health Organization and the International Red Cross. His expertise is in diplomacy between sovereign nations and technology.
He reminded us that since Canada is in an election season his comments did not reflect the government of Canada, but were his personal opinions. He said that world politics are changing and that in the Canadian view, the US is an unreliable partner. Structures of institutions, alliances and global rules are being questioned around the world. The American dream, and the global dream of a good education, job, healthcare and the opportunity to lead a good life are being challenged. In addition, governments are being asked to do more with less and consumers are demanding increasing speed and the scope of response that they find in the commercial world. Public service and bureaucracy has an (negative) emotional charge.
I used to do a lot of work using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. For those familiar with the instrument, in Myers-Briggs terms, David Park is the classic Extrovert – someone who gets their energy from people. A born salesperson!
David is the Vice President of Business Development for Juniper Capital, a private, commercial real estate lending organization in Seattle and the Northwest.
