Given that Seattle hasn't actually replaced it's police force, that it happened during normal social work is already the default assumption. No reason to think that's a "missed detail" just because it wasn't spelled out explicitly in the title.
It does still illustrate that general social workers are not trained, equipped, or selected to be able to defend themselves, and that's not going to change in a reasonable timeframe.
