Graham Johnson, KIRO 7 NewsKING COUNTY, Wash. — With people concerned about crime and law enforcement under scrutiny, King County Executive Dow Constantine Monday detailed how he plans to fund public safety.
King County Sheriff Patti Cole-Tindall said despite 50 new hires this year, the office is still down 110 deputies from 2020. Months after KIRO 7 investigated fentanyl use on King County Metro buses, Constantine said he’s planning to spend $20 million to hire 50 more transit security officers and $5 million for proactive work to help people in crisis.
County officials are also budgeting for sheriff’s deputies to get body cameras, although the rollout might not be done until the end of 2025.
