City Council voted unanimously to approve the 5-year Spokane Police Guild contract that adheres to City Charter requirements for independent police oversight. The contract will be retroactive to 2017 and run through the end of the current calendar year.
"Eight years after Spokane voters approved independent civilian police oversight by 69%, we finally have achieved a police contract that empowers the Police Ombudsperson to independently investigate all complaints and publish closing reports with policy and training recommendations to reduce future harm, says Council President Breean Beggs. "I appreciate the community's long-standing support for this work, the Police Guild's willingness to engage, the Mayor's leadership, the Office of Police Ombudsman's steady work, and a united City Council that insisted on the will of the voters."
