32-year veteran Ret. SPD Major Joe Tolliver’s career began in 1959. He spent his lifetime fighting for equal justice in policing, increased opportunities for our BIPOC community, and help reduce racism in policing. Join us in honoring Joe’s work to help pave the path to police accountability and BIPOC leaders in Seattle. We will also acknowledge officers and police departments across Washington that initially founded BLEAW.
BLEAW, founded in 1975, sued SPD to obtain equal rights. BLEAW continues this fight for equal justice and opportunities for our BIPOC community.

Participant In The Town Hall on Public Safety Concerns live from Columbia City Theater - 9/21 @ 6pm Deputy Chief John Hayes / Past NBPA and BLEAW President
This community meeting was in an area of Seattle called Columbia City. The Town Hall meeting was one of the first in person gatherings since the high – point of COVID - 19. In this area, the crime had grown, as the community voiced, alarmingly high. At the time, the community was experiencing a rise in violent crimes, a variety of property damage style crimes (broken windows – auto theft) and other forms of lawlessness. This discussion was needed and ultimately made a difference. Community members needed new ideas and updates on what the Seattle PD was doing and a chance to exchange ideas on
how they could support their community and the police. The panel included the District 2 City Council member,
long time established community organizers and school intervention workers. Invited participants were politicians, community members, business owners, social service agencies, and all residents in Columbia City to share their experiences and opinions about the recent violent burglaries and crime in South Seattle. The two-hour program gave time for presenters and community members to mix and give follow-up perspectives about points they made on the stage. There is no doubt there will be additional collaborative discussions in the very near future.
