The President of the Seattle Police Officers’ Guild, Kevin Stuckey, told KIRO 7, “We had a duty for fair representation. We have to represent her. This is not a testimony of whether or not we believe the validity of anything that happened or the claims. In the case of Officer Whitlatch, when her case was completed and we’re presented with the case, the first thing we do is check for contract violations to see that the city has played by the rules.”
