NEWS BRIEFS: Spokane gets a new police chief
Last Thursday, Mayor Lisa Brown announced that, after nearly five months of searching, she has appointed Kevin Hall as Spokane's next police chief. Hall previously spent 32 years working in Tucson, Arizona, and most recently worked as assistant police chief. Hall was one of four finalists selected for the job as part of a nationwide search process. "From public feedback to department personnel, it was clear our community wants a leader who demonstrates character, integrity and accountability, brings best practices to the department, and is dedicated to the safety of everyone in our community. Chief Hall is that leader," Brown said in a news release last week. During a community forum last month, Hall said he is an advocate for community-based policing, increased behavioral health services, transparency and a "customer service" approach to law enforcement. "Even now as an assistant chief in a very large city, my business cards have my cellphone on them," Hall said. "I want people to call me." Spokane's former police chief Craig Meidl served in the role for seven years and announced plans to retire shortly after Brown was elected mayor in November last year. (NATE SANFORD)
