Seattle Police Officer Arrested, Accused Of Domestic Violence

SEATTLE — The Seattle Police Department says one of their officers has been arrested following reports that the officer was involved in a domestic violence assault.

According to the police department, the officer was arrested in Snohomish County by the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office, who notified SPD of her arrest shortly afterwards.

SPD says the officer in question had been working with their department since January of last year and had been assigned to the Patrol Operations Bureau, but that her position will be reassigned until the current investigation is complete.

SPD says they've also contacted the Office of Police Accountability, or OPA, who will monitor the officers case in Snohomish County for any further developments. Once the criminal case is concluded, the OPA will be launching a second investigation into the officer's conduct on the job.
