POLICE AND FIRE TEAM UP FOR A SAFER FOURTH By: Cpl. Tom Lee A combination of pre-holiday publicity and enforcement, again led to less fires and injuries resulting from holiday fireworks in Spokane. Spokane police officers and firefighters teamed up for the second year in a row to promote a safer Fourth of July. There were only seven reported fires in the city on the Fourth and all were confined to small grass and timber areas. Assistant Fire Chief Brian Schaeffer commended the local media for the overwhelming support shown by warning the public of the dangers of illegal fireworks. A fireworks tip line received 240 calls from citizens during the evening hours of July 4th. Teams made up of SPD Officers and Fire Marshalls responded to as many as possible, issuing 35 infractions for illegal fireworks and confiscating many unused fireworks.
Page 7 APPLAUDS GO OUT TO OUR EMPLOYEES FOR A JOB WELL DONE I recently had my auto transported from North Carolina to Battleground, WA by US Transport located in Spokane. I couldn’t get information for US Auto or the broker who set up the move regarding the status of my car when it did not arrive within the time period promised. You and your department were wonderful in tracking down the operator, talking to him and having him contact me. My car was delivered later that day. This letter is a formal “thank you” to Officer Dashiell and Officer Grant, for your responsiveness and your assistance. I am most grateful and the Spokane PD has made a friend and an advocate. ~ From a Western Washington Resident **************************************************************************************************** Thank you all for your concern and prompt attention to the graffiti problem at our property. The situation appears to be resolved and it is a relief not to go out and see the graffiti on our fence each morning. All the officers who responded were very professional and caring. Please convey our thanks to them. The following are the names we remember: Officer Raleigh, Cpl. Harding, Sgt. Walters, Officer Kaufman, and Sgt. Giannetto. I am sure there were others whose names we may have forgotten. Please convey our thanks to them as well. ~ From a Spokane Resident **************************************************************************************************** On May 9, Officer Mike Roberge and Lt. Darrell Toombs came to Northwest Gold Prospectors Association and spoke to us about the gang problem in the area. We were unaware of the magnitude of the problem and the things they have to do to be a gang member. I think the picture that upset me the most was of the children who are gang members. I have great grandchildren that age and younger and cannot imagine them in a gang. We wish Officer Roberge and Lt. Toombs success and may God keep them safe. Thank you for letting them come and making us more aware of what is going on. ~ From a Spokane Resident **************************************************************************************************** On May 30, I was the victim of a home invasion. I want you to know that everyone involved, from the 9-1-1 operator to, and especially Detective John Miller, acted in a very courteous, competent, and professional manner. Even though the “bad guy” hasn’t been caught and isn’t likely to be, I want to thank you and the entire Spokane Police Department for a job well done. ~ From a S.W. Spokane Resident **************************************************************************************************** I think Barb Barber should get a kudos for taking care of all the booked arrests for the city and the county, while we were short in the Data Entry work area. ~ From a Police Records Specialist **************************************************************************************************** I think Jerri Bjork needs an atta boy!!! Today we have been just slammed at the Data Entry work area. A detective wanted to do a temporary felony warrant, Jerri said she has the notes and would do it. She is the newest person up here and she took the ball and ran with it. I think that she is a fabulous employee!!! ~ From a Police Records Specialist **************************************************************************************************** I want to tell you about two exceptional police officers in your department. Officer James Erickson and Officer Rob Boothe were called to our home on a death call. Both officers were so compassionate and sensitive to the needs of the family and friends gathered, and spoke to us in a calming and reassuring manner. Please express to them once again how very much we appreciated their help to us in dealing with the death of our loved one. ~ From a N. W. Spokane Resident
