B. Identify the needs/problems to be addressed with data source <br /> Although we have made progress in recent years, to include 36.4% of all new police officer hires <br /> in 2021 being female and 45.5%of BIPOC,the demographics of the Everett Police Department do <br /> not represent the community we serve. Exhibit A; "Everett Police Department Staff" depicts our <br /> current 2021 composition of sworn staff compared to July 2019 Snohomish County census data. <br /> Our project, as described above, will focus on closing that gap with our emphasis on reaching the <br /> BIPOC community. <br /> C.
