Seattle police officers alarmed that new 'wellness' supervisor failed to report sexual abuse in his family

Three Seattle police employees say they are troubled by the department’s latest choice to supervise its wellness unit. The position is a prestigious one and involves handling sensitive disclosures from employees and their families about stress, mental health, and substance use.

According to an internal investigation released this year, the sergeant newly named to oversee this group failed to report a long-running case of sexual abuse of his daughter by his older teenage son, her half brother. The abuse began when his daughter was 8 years old and his son was 15, and continued for seven years.

Nebraska school district asks police to stop using shock gloves on students

Omaha police recently agreed to stop carrying gloves that can deliver electric shocks to students in the halls of Nebraska’s largest public school district.

The decision affecting most Omaha middle and high schools came after the Associated Press first revealed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)’s plan to give officers the “Gloves” – or “generated low output voltage emitters”. The devices have also been used in recent years by some jails.

…“I can’t even imagine walking down the hallway and seeing a peer of mine being electrocuted in a place that is supposed to be a safe space for students,” said Nora Wessel, a senior at Omaha Central high school. “Yet, this is now a very real possibility. These are adults we are supposed to be able to trust, but these weapons create a barrier for our students to turn to resource officers when needed.”
