WHAT IS A PRECINCT? The Seattle Police Department operates within a framework that divides the city into five geographical areas called "precincts." These precincts define east, west, north, south and southwest patrol areas, with a police station in each. PUTTING NEIGHBORHOODS FIRST The Department's organizational model places neighborhood-based emergency response and order-maintenance services at its core, allowing SPD the greatest flexibility in managing public safety. Under this model, neighborhood-based enforcement personnel in each precinct assume responsibility for public safety management within their geographic area and neighborhood-based officers serve as primary crime-prevention and law enforcement resources for the areas they serve.
