The Seattle Group for Police Accountability

and what we do!

The Seattle Group for Police Accountability is a political activism group that was born from the community’s need for police accountability. Seattle’s history has shown that the Seattle Police Department (SPD) continually avoids various avenues to hold it accountable and transparent. Our mission is to hold SPD accountable for misconduct and ensure they fulfill their expected role in our communities.

The intention of SGPA is to work alongside efforts by the community and other groups to de-fund and restructure the Seattle Police Department. We will advocate for (1) a critical look within the SPD’s contracts, related manuals, documents, legislation, communication - current or future - and advocate for necessary changes, (2) transparency to the public and with community involved oversight entities (ex. Community Police Commission (CPC)), (3) empowerment of oversight entities like the CPC so that they can legally hold SPD accountable, (4) simplified avenues for Seattle residents to report police misconduct in a manner that ensures investigation, accountability, and transparency to residents, and (5) transparency about our findings and initiatives, which we will communicate through our platform.

Join us in our efforts!

Help us ensure law enforcement agencies in our city are meeting the expectations of our community!

SGPA is committed to providing a variety of educational material surrounding police accountability; from Instagram posts to in-depth livestreams. We analyze and share publicly available policing materials, draft petitions, attend Seattle City policy discussions, and build connections with other community organizations to best educate our community.

Your gift - at any level - will help guarantee community involvement in building the better world we want to live in.
