The Seattle Police Department's Micro-Community Policing Plans Seattle University Research Team will be conducting a Special Series of "Before the Badge" Community-Police Dialogues. 

These dialogues will be conducted virtually via Zoom on designated dates by precinct. The dialogues offer the opportunity for community members to meet with and engage in conversation with new Seattle Police Recruits who are completing the SPD "Before the Badge" training which is a 45-Day Training that newly hired SPD recruits take prior to Law Enforcement Academy Training Program. Southwest Precinct dialogues will be taking place on Monday, March 6 and April 10, 2023.
