Law enforcers and lawmakers in Snohomish County released a new video calling for Washington legislators to change police reform laws enacted last year. FOX13
The 5-minute video features leaders from the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office, Chelan County Sheriff's Office, Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs, Marysville, Everett, Edmonds, Arlington, Lake Stevens, Monroe police departments, Snohomish City Council, as well as the Mayors of Arlington, Sultan, Lake Stevens, Marysville and Everett.
"The reality is that public safety decreases as criminals become more brazen knowing police can not pursue them to enforce the law," Adam Fortney,While the video shows police body camera footage and mentions an increase in auto theft, keep in mind, these laws were enacted last summer. Monteblanco believes current laws can be tweaked to find balance between enforcement of drug laws but also for individuals to have treatment options.
"Some law enforcement leadership and some mayors are sensationalizing this and using misinformation to stoke fear. The vehicular pursuit standards address the inherent danger in hot pursuits and limits those pursuits to incidents where the benefit of the pursuit outweighs the risk. It was good policy then, and it is good policy now. We need to focus on evidence and facts, and what keeps us safe.
