Sheriff supports executive's proposed reforms -- to an extent
EVERETT — When it comes to the county executive’s sweeping proposals for social justice reform, Sheriff Adam Fortney says, for the most part, he’s supportive.
“I think my positions might surprise a lot of people,” he told The Daily Herald on Wednesday.
Last week, Snohomish County Executive Dave Somers outlined a far-reaching plan that includes equipping law enforcement officers with body and dashboard cameras, a community police oversight board and cash bail reform.
For now, they’re just ideas. To make them reality, Somers will have to convince the county council to pass new policies, find funding and work with the sheriff and Snohomish County Prosecutor Adam Cornell.
