City of Spokane Office of Police Ombudsman Commission

Here is your new City of Spokane Police Chief, Kevin Hall.

Welcome to Spokane and we look forward to working with you

Mayor Lisa Brown is happy to announce Kevin Hall as the new Chief of the City of Spokane Police Department. 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 and I am grateful that he has agreed to serve in this role. https://my.spokanecity.org/news/releases/2024/07/11/kevin-hall-selected-as-new-spokane-police-chief/

There will not be an OPOC meeting in July. We hope everyone stays cool and safe!
