After completing a business check at a local grocery store, Officer Davis climbed back into his patrol car, ready to respond to more calls for service. But his cop instinct kicked in and he felt deep down that something just wasn't right.....Was it a sign from "Opposite day"?/ cm
Officers arrested an armed and dangerous career criminal and confiscated a loaded stolen weapon after a short foot pursuit. Officers noticed the 52-year-old Peter Pappas of Seattle sitting in a stolen 2024 Dodge Hornet at the Landing wearing a Sonics jersey.

It's National Lash Day! K9 Odin is wondering if he should get some false eyelashes or do you think he's ok the way he is? We think his natural charm will win over and he's perfect the way he is.

𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐬 on Benson Dr. The fastest car - 62 in a 40-mph zone. Our motors barely parked before the next speeding driver fled by. 810 people died in traffic collisions in 2023 in WA, a 33-year high. Speed, drugs, and alcohol are contributing factors.

A shoplifting suspect fled from officers, slammed into a police van, & hit car while fleeing recklessly at a high rate of speed during a recent shoplifting emphasis. Another suspect had 48 prior theft incidents at area Target stores.
We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of retired K9 Odin. On April 27, 2024, Ofc Moynihan had to say goodbye to his loyal companion. Odin retired in February 2023 due to limited use of his left rear leg. Our thoughts are with his handler and family. Rest easy, K9 Odin.
Congratulations to Officer Moynihan & K9 Odin on their first capture in the city!
RPD conducted a K9 track for a domestic assault suspect near Park Ave N and N 31st St. last night around 1 a.m. and K9 Odin and Officer Moynihan got the job done! Suspect in custody.
HELLOOOOOO, it's going to be a hot one today! If you take me with you in the car, please don't leave me inside, it gets very hot and it's hard to breathe. Thanks you're pawsitively the best!/cm

SPEED EMPHASIS: We didn’t even get out of Heritage Hilltop Elementary’s parking lot when we pulled over a driver for 31 mph in a school zone. $243 fine. Please, for the love of our children slow down!
At 9:43, officers responded to an initial call of a possible bank robbery at 53 SW Sunset Blvd. When they arrived, officers learned it was an attempted carjacking. 5 suspects, at least one armed, fled the scene in a different vehicle at a high rate of speed.
One carjacking suspect is under arrest and charged with first-degree robbery, and officers are searching for a second suspect after a car was stolen at gunpoint early Sunday morning.
Pictures of scene @ Benson Rd S/S 27th Pl where we are investigating a fatality accident involving several vehicles. Thank you to several witnesses who stayed on scene. Rds will be blocked for several hours. Please take alternate routes/sh
