The Office of the Washington State Auditor is looking into the loss of 23 firearms after Seattle Police reported them missing in August, Seattle Police confirmed on Thursday. The guns haven’t been accounted for since 2017.
This discovery, made after an internal accounting of missing weapons, comes amid a longtime push by city leadership to address gun violence and rid Seattle streets of stolen firearms. Former Mayor Jenny Durkan passed local legislation in 2018 requiring that residents lock up their guns to keep them out of the hands of children and criminals.

Looks like something nefarious to me. The police have their guns locked up and still lost them?

SP5 Dennis Loberger Doesn't Look Good! Corruption? Incompetence? Clerical Errors?

The city council wanted to cut a hundred officers and over two hundred plus quit.

One of them was a civil affairs captain who went to Everett PD along with 4 others. I am sure this Army route. USAR Captain from Marysville turned in his weapon.
