Kage Mann: Wheels, alot of people criticize Spokane’s police force. What people forget is alot of Spokane’s deputys got their work experience over here in the KCS department, before transferring over to Spokane for better pay and benefits, while still living here. Are sheriffs deputies from Kootenai County, ready to tackle the much higher crime rate in Spokane when transferring?
Question: Who do you know who cut his teeth in a Kootenai County law enforcement department before catching on with a Spokane County or city department for better pay?
