C.O.P.S. Northeast Offers Operation Family ID Every Friday, 2pm-4pm

C.O.P.S. Northeast Offers Operation Family ID Every Friday, 2pm-4pm

The C.O.P.S. Shop for Northeast Spokane (Located at the Northeast Precinct 5124 E. Market St. Spokane) now offers Operation Family ID (OFID).

OFID is a program where volunteers take fingerprints, updated digital photos and other identifying information such as name, height, etc. about children or vulnerable adults with dementia or other disabilities.  This information is incredibly helpful to police in the event someone is lost or abducted.  Police send Amber or Silver Alerts for missing children or adults and dispatch as much relevant information as possible to ensure they are found quickly. Having current, accurate information about those we care for can make all the difference in the world in the critical first hours that someone is lost.

None of this information is kept or stored by Spokane C.O.P.S.  Everything is transferred to the parent or loved one for their storage.  In addition, a DNA Swab and container is provided in the ID kit.

Spokane Police and C.O.P.S. recommends all families bring their children and any other vulnerable adult to a C.O.P.S. Shop regularly to keep up to date information on file.

Call C.O.P.S. Northeast at 625-3343 for more details and to schedule an appointment.

CLEANING FROM THE CORRIDOR – TODAY FROM 9AM – 12PM

Spring has sprung and the city’s annual volunteer event Cleaning from the Corridor (CFTC) will be in full swing on this gorgeous iconic Spokane Spring day from 9am – 12pm (some events running till 1pm). Here’s a quick guide how to make sure you don’t miss any of the excitement before, during, or after the clean up!

Before the Clean up: 
Any volunteers who show up that are not registered but want to volunteer anyway, whether you come with friends, family or just heard about CFTC and showed up, Please find any project leader to provide you with a free T-Shirt for the event and a Volunteer Waiver From. If you are looking to connect with a specific project, try to identify which project you are searching for to the project leader you find and they will contact that specific project leader for coordination. With at least 13 different projects to choose from, the project leader you find can help you navigate all the fun!

 

During the Clean up:
Here is a link list of the clean up events.

Volunteer Projects Opportunities Include –

  • Landscaping
  • Public art (murals)
  • Planting raised garden beds and
  • Trash cleanup

Sign-up to Volunteer by going to www.VolunteerSpokane.org > click on Spokane Gives and then select the CFTC logo, or follow the unregistered volunteer instructions listed above.

Each volunteer will report to a project leader during the event who can answer any and all questions, distribute and refill supplies, and redistributing volunteers to other projects if your project finishes early or if others need the extra help.

Once your project is finished make sure you visit the Inland Northwest Blood Center Blood Drive from 11:00am – 1:00pm which will be located at 2310 N. Monroe next to the Emerson-Garfield Farmers Market.

 

After the Clean up:

After you grab lunch a delicious lunch, hit the photo booth, grab a drink, play some games, and visit the freshly pained murals, start your Corbin Park Historic District SCAVENGER HUNT which runs today through May 31st.

 

See you on N. Monroe!
