Seattle police officers will only enter the so-called autonomous zone if they receive calls concerning “significant life-safety issues,” Mayor Jenny Durkan said.

Those issues “may include an active shooter incident, an assault, a structure fire, significant medical emergency (i.e. heart attack, stroke, trauma) and other incidents that threaten a person’s life safety,” according to a statement from the office of Durkan, a Democrat.
