Spokane C.O.P.S. Block Watch Presentation – Sept 12

Spokane C.O.P.S. Block Watch Presentation – Sept 12

All are invited to attend a Block Watch presentation for the community by Spokane C.O.P.S. Executive Director Patrick Striker at the South Hill Library, 3324 South Perry St., on Tuesday, Sept 12th, 6:30pm.  Additional guest speakers will include C.O.P.S. Southeast Block Watch Coordinator Kendall Eminger and Spokane C.O.P.S. Program Manager Maurece Vulcano.

Spokane C.O.P.S. Block Watch is one of the most effective and least costly ways to prevent crime and reduce fear. Block Watch fights the isolation that crime both creates and feeds upon. It forges bonds among residents, helps reduce burglaries and robberies, and improves relations between the police and the communities they serve.

Topics of discussion will be:

  • Having the fast track to reporting crime and unsafe conditions.
  • Notifications about crime trends and scams in your neighborhood.
  • Being a part of community crime prevention.
  • Education on how to protect yourself and your property.
  • Having the means to stop crime in your neighborhood.

For more information, please call the South Hill Library at 444-5300 or Spokane C.O.P.S. at 625-3301.

Multiple Events on North Monroe (Mar 25 & 26)

Multiple Events on North Monroe (Mar 25 & 26)

There are multiple events taking place this weekend on North Monroe.

On Saturday, March 25, you can join Kingsley & Scout for free beer, snacks, a silent auction, limited-edition T-shirts and other festivities between 5 and 7pm. It’s a party to show their gratitude for the support they received after their store got broken into last week.

They’re also celebrating having recently placed in this year’s Inlander Best Of poll in the “Best Men’s Clothes” category. Not bad for having opened just this past autumn.

Keep in mind that the party is hosted a few doors down at Brickyard Barber Shop (2802 N Monroe) — which, as it happens, won the “Best Barbershop” category in the Inlander‘s Best of 2017.

Also on Saturday (and extending into Sunday, March 26) is a pop-up parking lot sale at the brand-new Ripples Thrift Store (3103 N Monroe) to benefit The Jonah Project. That runs from 8am to 6pm on both days. You can either purchase from the growing selection of clothing, accessories, shoes, bags, purses, furniture and housewares, or you can donate your own to help The Jonah Project combat human trafficking in Spokane.

And if you’re out at either one of these events, it’s a good time to enter the North Monroe Business District’s current social media contest. All you have to do is take a photo of the corridor, tag it with #KnowMonroe, and follow the group on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram. You could end up winning two gift cards to Vessel Coffee.

Police & Community Forum on Thursday, February 23

Police & Community Forum on Thursday, February 23

The Spokane Police Department invites citizens to a Police & Community Forum on Thursday, February 23 from 6-9 pm at the Salvation Army, 222 E. Indiana Avenue.

The forum will consist of a panel discussion of community members and law enforcement, a question and answer time with the audience, and small group discussion. Different community members serve on the panels each month to bring a variety of perspectives (e.g., Spokane Tribe, Refugee Connections Spokane, Asian Pacific Islander Coalition, OutSpokane representatives). This month, one of our featured panelists is Hussam Al-Khalidy, an interpreter for Spokane Public Schools.

These forums are part of SPD’s efforts to encourage dialogue with community we serve. Everyone is welcome. If you can’t attend this forum, hopefully you can come to another, as we are holding them every month in a variety of locations around town.
