Police chief to address accoun
SEATTLE -- Seattle police Chief Gil Kerlikowske is expected to address a mayor-appointed panel examining the department's police accountability system at a meeting on Aug. 20, the panel chairman announced Friday.
The Police Accountability and Review Panel plans to focus its second meeting on how the system is structured and how it works. The 11-member panel, which includes a retired judge, former governor and U.S. attorney, and other notable community leaders, was formed in the wake of a controversy over how certain misconduct cases were handled by the Office of Professional Accountability.
Police auditor Kate Pflaumer, former OPA director Sam Pailca and OPA Review Board Chairman Peter Holmes also are expected to address the panel.
The panel was formed to evaluate Seattle's system and to make recommendations. The panel's first meeting was July 30.
The second meeting is scheduled between 7 and 9 p.m. in City Hall's Bertha Knight Landes Room at 600 Fourth Ave.
Panel chairman and retired Superior Court Judge Terrence Carroll on Friday also announced a new Web site at seattle.gov/policeaccountabilityreviewpanel. Audio and video copies of the panel's meetings are available on the site.
