Several former officers who left the Seattle Police Department within the past year for other opportunities have returned to the SPD. At least six have returned so far, but Chief Adrian Diaz said he's expecting more.
"A lot of times people come back because of the camaraderie and their fellow officers that they’ve grown up in the department with, and that matters, but also the trajectory of where the department is leading,” Diaz told King5 . “We are pushing initiatives that are cutting edge, that are innovative, and I think people want to be a part of something bigger than them."
