Former SPD chief of staff seeks $3 million for alleged sexual harassment
- Jamie Tompkins, who previously served as the top aide to the Seattle Police Chief, is pursuing a $3 million settlement related to claims of workplace harassment, as announced in November 2024 in Seattle.
- Tompkins claims persistent harassment arose after coworkers spread rumors about a sexual relationship between her and ex-Police Chief Adrian Diaz, which both deny.
- Key details include crude comments allegedly involving Mayor Bruce Harrell, ongoing investigations, and a report citing a handwritten card likely not authored by Tompkins.
- The demand letter describes Tompkins feeling "violated, degraded, and dehumanized" during her 18-month tenure, with mediation between the city and her scheduled for June 25, 2025.
- The case highlights alleged department dysfunction and may result in negotiated settlements involving Tompkins and Diaz, who also filed a $10 million tort claim against the city.
