Read MoreWelcome to our site!
I am very pleased that you have taken the time to visit our web site.
As I write this message, I proudly look back on the accomplishments of last several years. I would like to thank the men and women of the Post Falls Police Department for their hard work and professionalism. Working together, we accomplished a lot each year.
As you review this site, you will see the great work being done by the dedicated team at the Post Falls Police Department every day.
We believe in a strong partnership with the community and understand that the best crime prevention asset we have is our relationship with citizens. This year we continued to place a premium on citizen partnerships. Social media, Coffee with a Cop, Virtual Patrol Ride A-longs, and our Cops-n-Kids & Rodder's-n-More event are only a few examples of the department’s commitment to working hand in hand with our community partners to solve quality of life issues for all of Post Falls.
We are pleased to report that overall crime is down, which I believe is a direct result of the outstanding work that our team does every day but also because of the strong community support we have.
I would like to say thank you to the entire City team and the community for your support. Our success is dependent upon our dedicated staff working closely with a supportive community. We look forward to another great year of service to you.
Thank you,
Pat Knight
Chief of Police
