Follow-up from our monthly meeting

Thanks to those of you who joined us for our meeting last Tuesday!

Guest speakers, deputies Josh Sweeney and Dan Malloy from the KCSO Air Support Unit, gave an interesting and entertaining presentation.

We also appreciated the informative update from Captain Pierre Davis, Commander of the SW Precinct, and the opportunity to ask him questions.

West Seattle Blog has published coverage of the meeting here.

Hope to see you next month — on the 4th Tuesday, May 28th, 6:30 PM!

 

Join us on Tuesday, April 23rd at 6:30 PM for our monthly meeting!

WSBWCN-giant-logocurrentOur special guest will be Sgt. Jason Stanley and one of the night shift pilots of the Guardian One helicopter! 

Guardian One is a familiar sight over West Seattle, helping Seattle Police from the air to apprehend suspects. The team from the Air Support Unit of the King County Sheriff’s Office will share with us in detail what they do, how the tools and technology work, and what they see from the air. We’ll also hear about some of the searches that they’ve worked on with Seattle Police.

Bring your questions and take advantage of this opportunity to learn about Guardian One. Should be a very interesting evening!

We’ll begin the meeting with a few announcements; introductions; and an update from SW Precinct leadership, Captain Pierre Davis on recent and current crime/safety issues.

Here’s the detailed agenda.
