Seattle Police officer Daniel Auderer reassigned

The Seattle Police Department (SPD) has reassigned Officer Daniel Auderer, the police officer who made inappropriate comments over the death of Jaahnavi Kandula, to a different position, according to a short statement issued via email Thursday to KIRO Newsradio.

“(Officer) Auderer has been administratively re-assigned to a non-operational position,” the statement said.

On Jan. 23, Auderer was assigned to perform a routine sobriety test on Kevin Dave, the officer who struck 23-year-old graduate student Jaahnavi Kandula while driving his police car 74 miles per hour in a 25 mph zone. In addition to being a police officer, Auderer is the vice president of the Seattle Police Officers Guild (SPOG).

“She is dead,” Auderer was heard saying on a phone call with SPOG President Mike Solan, according to captured bodycam footage. “Yeah, just write a check; $11,000. She was 26 anyway. She had limited value.”
