There were 150 incidents in 2021, which is 45 fewer than the year before.
OLEO says that could be because 2020 and the social justice protests might have pointed a “microscope at policing practices.” It also says police reform laws that took effect last year might have played a role.
“The definition of biased-based policing, the way it’s worded, [it’s] almost impossible to prove,” said OLEO director Tamer Abouzeid. “We recommend changing it, and will be working with the sheriff’s office on that.” A deputy was fired, and after the investigation, King County agreed to pay $2.5 million to the family of the man who was shot and killed.
