A lighthearted letter released by the Seattle Police Department is drawing smiles across the region for its playful take on Seahawks fandom. Addressed to a “Boss and/or Teacher,” the notice states that the fan has been drafted into “emergency service” as a “Certified 12” following a Seahawks victory, citing a need for increased crowd noise ahead of a Super Bowl parade.

Framed as an official notice, the letter humorously outlines duties like leading “SEA-HAWKS” chants and wearing neon green for visibility, while jokingly warning of penalties for noncompliance. The tongue-in-cheek message highlights the city’s enthusiasm for the Seahawks and shows SPD joining in on the celebration.
