REDMOND, WA Redmond is seeking community volunteers to fill spots on the city s new Independent Force Investigation Team, which will review incidents involving deadly use of force by the Redmond Police Department.
The team s creation follows legislation passed by state lawmakers in 2019 mandating fully independent investigations of police use of force that results in death, substantial bodily harm, or great bodily harm.
The Redmond Police Department is working with regional law enforcement partners to stand up a new team with a goal to enhance accountability and increase transparency and trust between law enforcement and the community. City officials said the investigations will operate like criminal probes, involving certified law enforcement investigators, while including at least two community representatives unaffiliated with police agencies.

HUDSON VALLEY, NY Along with a crush of demand for coronavirus vaccines, plus what some have called a chaotic rollout of New York s vaccination program, with federal officials expanding eligibility unexpectedly and dramatically, and after revelations that the Trump administration doesn t have the vaccine stockpile it said it did, the state received less dosages this week than it has in the past.
In a week that started with the federal government opening eligibility to everyone age 65 and older including 7.1 million New Yorkers the state received only 250,000 vaccine dosages this week, down from its former weekly allotment of 3oo,000, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at a coronavirus briefing on Friday.
