Mayor pays tribute to Sgt. Moore

Mayor Steve Widmyer pays tribute to Coeur d’Alene police Sgt. Greg Moore:

Our community lost Coeur d’Alene Police Sgt. Greg Moore two years ago today. On this anniversary of his death, we honor him and all of those members of law enforcement who have been killed in the line of duty.

As your mayor, I have been so proud to see how our community has come together to support Sgt. Moore, his family, as well as the rest of our police department’s officers.

With Police Chief Lee White leading the department, Coeur d’Alene has continued to experience overall drops in the crime rate and outreach to our citizens has increased. Our officers make a difference every day as dedicated public servants doing a selfless, but sometimes thankless, job. Connecting with the community is so important for our officers — it helps us all see them as fellow citizens who chose a noble and challenging path. It also helps our officers hear valuable citizen feedback and concerns. Our department is more effective because of these connections. More here.
