This month’s guest speaker was Scott Lindsay, Public Safety Advisor to Mayor Murray, who talked about Seattle’s Navigation Team. The Nav Team was started this year as one response to the homelessness crisis. The team is comprised of SPD officers and social workers. They go to unauthorized encampments to offer services and encourage folks to move to shelter. The team also coordinates trash cleanups. In two months, 3,500,000 pounds of trash have been hauled away.
