WA State Governor Restricts Police Access to SSN in DOL Records
According to an article on KOMO 4 News - Less than a month after Gov. Jay Inslee signed an Executive Order keeping state agencies from helping enforce federal immigration laws, a new policy has left police agencies across the state scrambling.
Last week police departments were notified they will no longer be able to use people’s social security numbers to search state Department of Licensing (DOL) databases. Nor can police get people’s social security numbers from DOL.
The policy, which went into effect on March 14, has hamstrung police, said Steve Strachan, who is Executive Director of the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs.
