In what has been described as one of the largest cuts to big-city police forces this year, Seattle City Council voted 8-1 Monday to cut its police department (SPD) budget by some $30 million dollars, around 18%, Fox News reports. The council also agreed to recruit 100 new police officers in 2021, but millions of dollars will reportedly be allocated away from the SPD and reassigned to community alternatives.
