Mayor Nadine Woodward championed resolutions on behalf of Spokane that won unanimous support from mayors across the country in backing additional federal funding for community policing, expanding supports for mental health, and giving federal law enforcement and local police the resources they need to address the fentanyl crisis.
Woodward introduced the resolutions at the U.S. Conference of Mayors. She led conversations about the dangerous fentanyl epidemic, the mental health focus Spokane is undertaking, and increasing federal funding community policing efforts.
"Much of our conversation was about the growing mental health challenge and adequately resourcing our police officers to address the rising crime rate," Woodward said. "These are difficult challenges playing out in communities across our country."
Woodward also attended the invitation-only Yale Mayors College and CEO Summit. She spent the week talking to mayors from across the country about similar challenges they are facing related to housing costs and inventory, homelessness, and how to better manage crime.
