Bremerton Police Chief Steven Strachan addresses the public at the special City Council meeting March 29 regarding a resolution declaring Bremerton to be a “welcoming city.” The Bremerton Police Department has had a policy for about three years that states, “Officers should not attempt to determine the immigration status of crime victims and witnesses or take enforcement action against them … The immigration status of individuals alone is generally not a matter for police action.” This policy was adopted in an effort to make undocumented immigrants feel safe reporting crimes to the Bremerton Police Department.
