The Future of Policing Resources
On October 27, 2020, we held a Challenge Night focused on the Future of Policing. The conversation was moderated by Marcus Green of the South Seattle Emerald and our panelists included Monisha Harrell, LT’11 of Rule Seven LLC and Deputy Monitor for the Oversight Commission of the Seattle Police Dept, Captain John Hayes, LT’03 of Seattle Police Department, and Rob Saka, LT’18 of Microsoft and King County Charter Commission.
Panelists offered different perspectives, discussed the range of solutions being proposed, and suggested ways LT alumni could plug in to learn more and take action. A note about the perspectives shared that night: we did not have someone on the panel with an abolitionist point of view. A lot of effort went into including someone with that perspective, but for a variety of reasons, no one we reached out to could participate.

I found myself trying to fit in and was performative, demonstrating behaviors that I had been taught and believed were acceptable and would grant me access to opportunity.
