Considering that the ad features a woman's head photoshopped onto a man's body, I very much doubt that.

      <![CDATA[This is a sexist attempt at appealing to males who want to get that kind of a job to get that kind of a mate. It's playing on their base instincts and it's basically telling the citizens of Seattle that they can't protect this city. Maybe they're advertising their own disbanding? I hope so.

      <![CDATA[@4 - I never saw the "now hiring" until just now when it was pointed out to me. I first saw billboards like this in, shall we say, poorer neighborhoods. I assumed when I saw it that it was an outreach to a culture that doesn't often cooperate with the police. A little less dismissive than David suggests, but still putting a great deal of responsibility for a functioning society in the hands of the citizens.<br />
<br />
But now I see it's a job posting. Never mind.

      <![CDATA[I am surprised anyone could take "you are responsible for your own safety" from that billboard, especially because it is clearly a hiring tool.<br />
<br />
It is saying: "It is your city, become a police officer and help keep it safe."<br />
<br />
That being said, those forearms are suspect.  It does look they shopped the woman's head on there.  I would not be surprised if they want more female recruits though.  Woman are much less likely to bounce a guy's head off the hood of a car because they felt disrespected.
