OPA is administratively within SPD but physically and operationally independent. This promotes independent investigations and decision-making. It also provides access to all SPD-controlled data, evidence, and personnel necessary for thorough and timely complaint handling. #Seattle #PoliceAccountability #OneSeattle??
