Spokane Police Department Chief Kevin Hall and I have issued the following statement in response to the Office of the Police Ombuds’ closing report on the June 11, 2025 protest. my.spokanecity.org/news/stateme...

Graphic featuring Pavilion wiring reads,
"Statement from Mayor Lisa Brown & Police Chief Kevin Hall

We are grateful for the time and thorough review that went into this closing report, which was conducted at our request in the aftermath of the protests that occurred on June 11. The Office of the Police Ombuds exists to promote accountability and public confidence in local law enforcement by providing independent review of police actions and thoughtful policy recommendations. Independent oversight strengthens the credibility, professionalism, and integrity of the Spokane Police Department.

SPD has taken several proactive steps consistent with many of the OPO’s recommendations before the report was published. Those include strengthening the Dialogue Team within the Department, procuring “Spokane Police” back identification panels, clarifying use of force reporting, and updating officer masking policies to better identify department members.

We look forward to thoroughly reviewing the rest of the report and the remaining recommendations to guide how we can continue making improvements for the safety of our community and officers."

My statement on the U.S. Supreme Court’s Temporary Protected Status ruling. my.spokanecity.org/news/stateme...

Graphic reads, "Statement from Mayor Lisa Brown

“Yesterday’s Supreme Court decision clears the way for the Trump Administration to strip people with Temporary Protected Status, like Spokane’s Haitian community, of their safeguards and puts them at risk of removal from the United States. These are people who fled extraordinary violence, political instability, and natural disasters in search of safety.

“Instead of offering stability and a path forward, this decision leaves families in fear and puts lives at risk.

“Here in Spokane, our Haitian neighbors are more than a policy debate. They are healthcare workers caring for patients, caregivers supporting our seniors and children, and employees keeping our businesses running. They have built lives here and strengthened our community. It’s ironic that on the verge of our nation’s 250th birthday, the promises represented by the Declaration of Independence and the Statue of Liberty are being broken daily.

“Congress must act now to provide pathways to citizenship for those who want to pursue the American Dream.”
