Detective Britt Kelly (Sweeny)
SEATTLE — It was a targeted attack on police. Halloween night, 2009, a gunman pulled alongside Seattle field training officer Tim Brenton and rookie Britt Sweeny who were on duty in the Leschi neighborhood. He opened fire. Sweeney survived, but Brenton was killed. Fourteen years later, she works at Seattle Police Department's (SPD) training facility.
Detective Kelly is leading the effort to memorialize SPDs Fallen Officers and educate new officers about their legacy and sacrifice.
