西雅图警察局长巴恩斯解雇两名最高文职主管 总法律顾问与首席运营官同日去职
西雅图警察局长肖恩·巴恩斯（Shon Barnes）11月5日一早解雇了警局两名最高级别的文职官员：总法律顾问丽贝卡·博特赖特（Rebecca Boatright）与首席运营官布赖恩·马克西（Brian Maxey）。两人均为在警局任职多年的资深文职主管。
解雇决定在11月3日市长选举首批选票开出后不到12小时作出。市长选举初步计票中，现任市长布鲁斯·哈雷尔（Bruce Harrell）领先挑战者凯蒂·威尔逊（Katie Wilson），最终结果仍待邮寄选票统计完成。
市府未详细说明解雇原因。两名文职主管掌握大量机构运作与改革事务经验，他们的离职对警局管理连续性的影响受到市议会与社区关注。（来源：西雅图警察局）
Seattle police chief Shon Barnes fires department's top two civilian officials
Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes fired the department's two top civilian officials early on November 5: general counsel Rebecca Boatright and chief operating officer Brian Maxey. Both were long-serving senior civilian leaders in the department.
The firings came less than 12 hours after the first ballots were counted in the November 3 mayoral election. In early returns, Mayor Bruce Harrell led challenger Katie Wilson, with mail ballots still being counted.
City officials did not give detailed reasons. The two officials carried deep institutional and reform-related knowledge, and their departure's effect on management continuity is drawing attention from the City Council and the community. (Source: Seattle Police Department)
