More than 60 candidates applied to be the next Chief of Police, and we attracted leading talent from police departments in all parts of the country. More than 3,000 people from all corners of Seattle have been directly involved in the process. They have made their voices heard.

I chose Carmen Best as the Interim Chief after Kathleen O’Toole stepped down because I believed that she was the right person for the job – and today I am proud to nominate her as the permanent Chief of Police for @SeattlePD.

Women are getting it done. Let this prove to any of the young girls or young boys out there that they can be whatever they want to be when they grow up – @KingCoSheriff, Chief of @SeattlePD, or Mayor of Seattle! pic.twitter.com/7HzfQh0Vu9
