Meet New Board Liaison, Major Ellen Inman

The Bellevue Police Foundation is excited to welcome Major Ellen Inman as the new Bellevue Police Department liaison to the Foundation, following the longtime partnership and support of Major David Sanabria. David has been a tremendous partner to the Foundation over the years, helping strengthen the connection between the Police Department and the community while supporting countless events, programs, and initiatives along the way. His steady leadership, professionalism, and willingness to always help made him a valued part of the Foundation team, and we are incredibly grateful for everything he contributed.

As Major Sanabria steps away from the liaison role, the Foundation is looking forward to working with Major Inman in this important position. Ellen brings 27 years of law enforcement experience and has served in a wide range of leadership roles throughout her career, including supervisor, mentor, project manager, and organizational leader. She is known for being thoughtful, forward-thinking, and highly collaborative, with a talent for finding practical solutions and bringing people together.

Just as important, Ellen’s approachable personality and positive attitude make her someone people naturally enjoy working with. She has built strong relationships throughout the department and community and is widely respected for her leadership style and commitment to supporting both people and organizational goals.

The Foundation is excited for this next chapter and looks forward to continuing its close partnership with the Bellevue Police Department alongside Major Inman. We also want to thank Major Sanabria again for his years of dedication, friendship, and support of the Foundation’s mission and the Bellevue community.
