Spokane Valley

Sheriff opens office in mall

The Spokane County Sheriff’s Office will open a new satellite office in the Spokane Valley Mall at 2 p.m. on Friday. The office, which has been donated by mall management, is located at the west entrance of the mall near Sears.

Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich will attend the grand opening celebration, as will members of the Sheriff’s Office motorcycle unit and McGruff the Crime Prevention Dog. The Sheriff’s Office has a contract to provide police service to the city of Spokane Valley.

SCOPE volunteers will staff the office from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and police officers will come and go during the day. A computer kiosk is planned so members of the public can file police reports.
