Spokane Police Chief's statement

Sgt. Teresa Fuller Public Information Office

Monday, November 3, 2025 at 12:53 p.m.

The Spokane Police Department has concluded internal investigations into allegations of serious misconduct involving two former officers, who have since resigned. Both were found to have engaged in inappropriate relationships with victims of domestic violence while on duty. Their actions violated departmental policy, betrayed community trust, and failed to uphold the oath they had sworn.

This conduct is unacceptable and does not reflect the values or professionalism of the Spokane Police Department. As Chief, I want to assure our community that these individuals no longer serve as police officers and have surrendered their law enforcement certifications. The department took swift and decisive action to investigate and address their behavior as soon as it came to light.

While this news is deeply disappointing, I have complete confidence in the integrity, compassion, and dedication of the men and women who serve Spokane every day. The majority of our officers uphold the highest standards of duty and respect for those we protect.

We remain committed to transparency, accountability, and rebuilding trust through our actions. The Spokane Police Department will continue to serve this community with honor and integrity.
