Multiple Seattle PD units responding for armed robbery

On May 17th, 2020, I filmed a large number of Seattle Police units flooding the area to search for a suspect who robbed the Walgreens on 15th and Market.
I think this is the most SPD units I've captured at once; there are 7 (I think) units in the first clip, although not all of them have their lights on. I believe there was at least one 2020 cruiser in the mix as well (second in line at 0:26 ?).
I didn't hear an update on whether the suspect was captured or not. Thanks for watching!

Shame they're switching to Whelens, love the Spectras, they have a nice unique sound to them

Ballard was a sleepy area of Seattle at one time (not too long ago). It’s kind of a shame what’s happened to Seattle.

Yeah, it's gotten a bit rougher lately. Still safer than a lot of places, but worse than it used to be

There are graffitis everywhere even on sighns

NOOOOOO! THEY CANT REPLACE THE SPECTRA

[@SuperHusky83]

With SPD's staffing issues that's impressive--that must have been the entire north precinct.

SPD has been having retention issues for years, Officer put in a couple of years then leave for other departments

@@joekern1242 SPD had twice the patrol officers in the 80's w/half the population.

Still loving all of your videos.

I knew They’d be switching to the Epsilon, not sure why they haven’t done the same special order LAFD did when they had Whelen reprogram the siren to sound like a Spectra.

[@lucaslaughing]

Are the Epsilon kind of higher pitched? I heard/saw a 2020 SPD cruiser yesterday and the siren sounded higher...

[@whosthis1230]

@John Schuster It's not the epsilon, it just has the same whelen tones as it, but it is a different control panel/system. All the newer whelens (ones that can be programmed via the command software) have the same regular whelen wail, yelp, phaser, as well as over 60 other tones.

[@whosthis1230]

@@lucaslaughing The one you heard, and the newer SPD cruisers, are programmed with the whelen alternate wail, alternate yelp, and dozer tones.

[@whosthis1230]

I saw somewhere that they were using the carbide system, however I am not completely sure.

[@FirePhoenixEmergencyVideos]

Aww not the Walgreens!! But nice catches, any police catch is a treat!

[@lucaslaughing]

Thanks - I agree, SPD action is always great (and luckily all Walgreens staff members were unharmed)!

[@lucaslaughing]

Thanks!
