Seattle's police chief was expected to publicly announce her resignation on Tuesday, after informing her colleagues late Monday night that she would be retiring from the department effective September 2, according to an email published by The Seattle Times.
Her resignation came after the city council on Monday approved a reduction in the budget of the city's police department of less than one percent after months of protests demanding that it defund the force.
