The Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (WASPC) has appointed Spokane Police Chief Craig Meidl to its Executive Board.

Meidl’s appointment becomes effective January 1, 2018 and runs through May 2020. Meidl was selected to fill the unexpired term of Chief Steve Strachan (Bremerton Police Department) who has been selected as WASPC’s new Executive Director effective January 1, 2018.
