On Tuesday, February 11th, we will convene our weekly meeting at 7:00 AM at the Embassy Suites. Our guest speakers this week will be Sue Rahr, former interim Chief of Police for the City of Seattle.

Sue Rahr, who has a storied history of leadership in modern policing, culture change, and recruitment, was named as interim Chief of Police for the City of Seattle in the spring of 2024, serving until she stepped down a few weeks ago. She has also previously served as King County Sheriff, Executive Director of the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission, and a member of President Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing. Sue Rahr is known as a strong, action-oriented leader who supports current officers while recruiting new ones. She is centered on building a police department that represents the communities it serves and keeps safe. Sue focuses on preparing current officers with the best and most modern tactical and de-escalation training and she brought in new strategies and energy to recruit new officers, including women and people of color, ensuring that people of all backgrounds see themselves in the department.
Please join us on Tuesday to hear about Chief Rahr’s long and storied journey with law enforcement in our area. Looking forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday morning and have a great rest of your evening!
