WHITE: Thanks for model leadership

| March 22, 2026 1:00 AM

On the retirement of Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White, I want to first thank Chief White for his extraordinary and professional service to the residents of Coeur d’Alene in keeping us safe and informed daily. Second, he created a first-class department as the mentor to the entire department. Third, he effectively used modern technology and a data-driven system that resulted in major reductions of crime in our city over the years. Fourth, upon a tip from a citizen, he moved quickly to arrest an outside extremist group that was armed headed to city park.

Today the Coeur d’Alene Police Department is a model for police departments across the United States due to Chief White’s leadership.
