The funding was in doubt all session due to its top priority status for the City Council and local legislators. However, through their collaboration, they were able to include it in the final budget. Senator Billig commented on this achievement saying "A key to keeping our community safe is having sufficient peace officers and ensuring they are well trained. This capital budget investment helps us to achieve those goals, and I was glad to advocate for it in the Legislature." Rep. Riccelli also expressed his pride in working with his fellow legislators on providing this necessary funding.
The renovation and expansion of the Spokane Police Academy will provide training to prospective officers who will serve across Washington state - a necessary investment in its future safety.
