In 2018, officials of the Seattle Police Department acknowledged that one of their key reforms, a tool that was intended to predict bad behavior among police officers, was not working. This so-called early intervention system was shown to have no predictive power at all and instead was simply flagging officers on busier beats.

From Curb to Doorstep: Driving Efficiencies for Delivering Goods
Ten blocks of the Belltown neighborhood in downtown Seattle house an eclectic mix of retail stores, apartments, and restaurants that require daily deliveries of goods-from fresh seafood for the evening’s dinner special to the latest gadget from Amazon Prime.
In this bustling and often congested urban area, trucks fully packed with goods are on tight delivery schedules. However, circling the blocks to find an open parking zone in the “final 50 feet”-the sweet spot for the most efficient deliveries-can put drivers behind schedule.

Poole is easy to talk to over the phone. Conversation flows, despite us being total strangers. We chat for half an hour, covering a range of topics from our travels (him through France, me across Turkey), to the local Africatown project (I had discovered him on their Instagram page) to, of course, chocolate-making (he was testing out new flavors for Mother s Day). I ask him to sit for an interview; he invites me to come by the next day. We set our
