The city's Office of Professional Accountability has concluded its investigation into the actions of Seattle Police Department officer Ian Walsh, who punched a teenage jaywalker in the face after she shoved him earlier this year. Back in June, the department temporarily reassigned the officer and required him to go through additional training.

From the SPD Blotter:

The Seattle Police Department remains committed to strengthening our relationship with the community which we serve, by fighting crime, reducing fear and building community.
