The Coeur d’Alene Police Officers Association announced its endorsement of Dan Gookin, Christie Wood and Dan English for another term in office.

“It is important to us that we retain experienced and committed council members who emphasize the need for public safety as their number one priority,” said a statement from Vice President Eric Boardman, in a letter announcing the endorsements. “Public safety has a direct impact on the overall quality of life for both our community members and visitors.”
