Coeur d'Alene Police seek emergency declaration
White
The Coeur d'Alene Police Department is seeking an emergency declaration following a fire that destroyed millions of dollars in police vehicles and gear.
The request will go to the City Council when it meets at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the Library Community Room. It would clear the way for the emergency expenditure of public money to replace the building and equipment destroyed by the fire.
”This emergency declaration is critical to quickly obtaining necessary equipment that enables the police department to respond appropriately and keep the public safe," said Councilwoman Christie Wood. "There will still be budget oversight every step of the way. It’s imperative our police operations receive immediate financial support."
