Episode Details

Seattle’s Police Chief Shon Barnes sparked controversy after canceling an interview to discuss his travel schedule — only to release a calendar revealing he was out of town nearly 50 days, attending conferences and visiting Chicago for family. The timing drew fire when he was in Dallas during a deadly shooting at Seattle Center, which left three dead and sparked criticism over delayed emergency alerts. Despite publicly denying accusations of excessive travel, the calendar shows his absences were frequent, with an acting chief stepping in each time. Questions linger about the purpose of each trip, how he manages his duties while away, and why records weren’t shared earlier — especially for travel before late March.
