Effective 2016, Spokane Police Department began posting summaries of IA cases to protect the information of those involved in complaints. Closed Case Summaries provide information misconduct complaints that are investigated by Internal Affairs. A Closed Case Summary is created for every case and is posted after the case has been completed. Summaries provide information about a complaint, including the incident synopsis, the investigation, and the conclusion. SPD designed the summaries after the Seattle Police Department's website.
