Supplemental budget proposal to promote safe and just communities in Pierce County

February 9, 2022

Property and violent crime are increasing in nearly every neighborhood of our County. At the same time, men and women serving in law enforcement are turning in their badges. To promote safe and just communities in Pierce County, Executive Dammeier has proposed that Councilmembers sign on to a letter advocating for state legislation that restores the ability for police to pursue suspects and use reasonable force, and approve a $10,000 retention incentive for Pierce County Sheriff’s commissioned law enforcement deputies.
