Seattle- A recently released report on officer-involved shootings says SPD culture must change.

SEATTLE - A recently-released report on officer involved shootings in Seattle recommends many of the same changes now set forth by federal investigators.

Rebecca Roe, a former senior deputy prosecutor for King County, authored the Citizen's Report.

Roe's 2010 report found that five of the six Seattle Police Department officer involved shootings were justified, but it also calls for additional training for officers dealing with confrontations. The report highlights areas where Roe believes officers need additional training on how to "disengage peacefully from situations where their authority has been legitimately challenged."

"If you approach somebody who is not doing anything wrong and you want to talk to them but they don't want to talk to you, they don't have to talk to you," Roe said.
