King County Department of Adult and Juvenile Detention. (KIRO 7)
The King County Department of Adult and Juvenile Detention dramatically lowered its hiring standards to promote more people of color and LGBTQ employees. Consequently, the department effectively adopts affirmative action policies rather than hiring the candidates best suited for the job.
In 2018, the DAJD conducted an equity impact review for its Corrections Sergeants promotional process. It found that while several minority candidates applied, few passed the written exam. Rather than address why the results looked the way they did, the department lowered the threshold to pass the exam.
The move was meant to promote staffing “equity,” an increasingly meaningless term that bears no resemblance to its original definition. Instead, it ensures that underqualified candidates are being promoted when there’s increased scrutiny of members of law enforcement.

In a speech today, he warned that the pandemic remains dangerous, with cases going back up, variants spreading, and hospitalization remaining at a plateau. While this moved-up timeline doesn t at all mean that everyone will have their first dose by that day, it does mean that all adults can at least get in line for one. The president also announced that the U.S. has now administered 150 millions shots, well on the way to his goal of 200 million by the end of his first 100 days in office on April 30.
