In May, 2018, I was selected to lead the Burien Police Department. The city of Burien is a suburb of Seattle, located just 20 minutes south of downtown. We are bordered by SeaTac International Airport on one side and the beautiful Puget Sound on the other. Our city is home to 52,000 diverse residents, who are attracted to our great parks, year-round festivals and fascinating food scene. The city is full of opportunity, with thriving local businesses and an engaged community. In partnership with the community, Burien Police Department's objective is to enhance public safety in our city. We do this through aligning our efforts under three key principles: Building Trust, Fighting Crime and Supporting Each Other. The 44 Commissioned officers on the Burien Police Department are committed to these principles in their actions. In addition to the dedicated city officers, Burien Police Department partners with the King County Sheriff's Office to provide specialty services, support services and some detective functions. This partnership allows us to deliver high level services in an efficient manner. I am committed to being innovative and people focused in how police services are delivered, balancing the need to address criminal behaviors with the need to create long term solutions to our problems. The Burien Police Department uses a "leading with services" approach in how we address complex issues in our community. We have partnered with prosecutors, business leaders, schools, treatment providers and community organizations to try to find effective answers to our complex problems. We are not focused solely on trying to arrest our way into a solution.
