“In response to recently reported acts of hatred, we call upon the appropriate law enforcement officials and the United States Postal Services not to minimize such acts in our community,” the statement said. “The Spokane NAACP is requesting that the Spokane Police Department, the USPS and other agencies involved give full disclosure of the findings, conclusions and ongoing investigations related to the ‘hate mail’ received at the Spokane NAACP mailboxes and related incidents.”

Spokane Police spokeswoman Teresa Fuller said she interpreted the statement as a request for SPD for investigate the allegations fully, “which we have.”
