About the Seattle Police Department
The Department was established in 1886
and has evolved into one of the most well respected police agencies in the nation. In 2003, we became one of only a handful
of agencies our size to be nationally accredited. The department employs approximately 1,200 sworn law enforcement officers
and 700 civilian employees, all of whom continually provide quality service to Seattle's residents and visitors. Seattle remains
one of the safest cities in the country.

Steve Pomper has been a Seattle Police Department police officer since 1992.
His assignments have included: Patrol, Community Police Team, and he served as a Field Training Officer for six years. Steve Pomper is the author of Is There a Problem, Officer? A Cop’s Inside Scoop on Avoiding Traffic Tickets. According to Steve Pomper,
“It’s sad when drivers try to whine their way out of tickets they deserve, but it’s tragic when drivers
talk officers into writing tickets they initially intended as warnings.” According
to the book description, the reader will learn “when pulled over, it's not time to debate or argue; don’t mistake
officer safety for officer rudeness; don’t take being stopped personally. It’s not about who you are; it’s
about what you did; and, the phrases, and actions, that almost guarantee you'll get a ticket.”
