Protests and rumor control

Bellevue police are not currently aware of any protests planned in the city. We are receiving calls from concerned residents and businesses who are hearing rumors of events. There is a tremendous amount of disinformation on social media, and that is understandably causing anxiety.  We want to assure everyone that we do not have any information about planned protests in Bellevue.

However, please be vigilant and let us know if you hear something so we can investigate. Bellevue police are staffed appropriately and flexible in responding to any situation.  While election day is tomorrow, the uncertainty may remain for a while. 

Please follow BPD on social media (@BvuePD) and check our website (www.bellevuewa.gov/police) for the latest information.  We are committed to relaying information to you through these channels as we get it to keep you up to date on what to expect.

Officer returned to full duty; reprimanded

Shortly after complaints of an officer’s social media activity on June 2, 2020, the Bellevue Police Department hired an independent fact-finding investigator to examine the officer’s posts.  Officer Nick Roche was immediately placed on administrative leave pending the investigation.  

Following an exhaustive review, the investigator found that while the officer’s social media posts were “Ill-advised and imprudent,” she concluded, “There is an absence of evidence suggesting that Ofc. Roche ascribes to or harbors alt-right or extremist beliefs, or any other improper ideologies or biases that call into question his fitness to serve as a law enforcement officer.”

Bellevue Police Chief Steve Mylett did find the officer violated the Bellevue Police Department’s Standards of Conduct Policy 11.00.240. “The Bellevue Police Department takes complaints of an officer’s integrity and judgement very seriously,” stated Chief Mylett. “In this case, the investigator determined no impartiality, but the officer’s social media activity was in poor judgement and in violation of BPD policy.” Officer Roche received a letter of reprimand in his file.

The officer has returned to full duty.

Increased violence seen at Domestic Violence calls

Reported domestic violence cases in Bellevue are more violent since the COVID-19 pandemic began. While the overall number of reported cases during this time frame is about the same compared to the historical five-year average, “What has changed is the level of violence,” warned Major Travess Forbush. “Since the pandemic forced us all to stay home, we’ve seen a 28% increase in felony domestic violence assaults. These situations are more dangerous for the victims; the injuries are more severe,” Forbush added.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and DV advocates urge those suffering to reach out for help. It’s also imperative that friends and loved ones recognize the signs of domestic violence. The COVID-19 pandemic has everyone isolating at home, which is dangerous for domestic violence victims.

“Survivors have seen an unprecedented increase in safety concerns due to the COVID-19 epidemic and related economic downturn. We are seeing a sharp increase in the frequency and severity of abuse endured by survivors and their children, including more serious injuries and higher lethality indicators, including more threats with firearms and strangulation,” stated Rachel Krinsky, the Executive Director of LifeWire. Krinsky adds the need is dire, “We are receiving a significant increase in the number of requests for protection orders and an exponential increase in requests for rental assistance and food assistance.”

If you or someone you know needs help, Bellevue-based LifeWire is a phone call away. Advocates staff the helpline 24/7, even during the COVID-19 pandemic. Resources are available for those involved in a domestic violence situation, and for family & friends who want to help. The 24-Hour Helpline is 800-827-8840. You can find many resources on their website, www.lifewire.org.
