SPOKANE, Wash. Starting next week, police in Washington will change the way they respond to domestic violence and mental health calls.
The change comes from one of 13 bills passed by the legislature with most reforms going into effect next week.
Police arrests and police pursuits are also under stricter guidelines, a lot of these falling under a law which won’t allow police to make arrests or detain someone unless there is enough evidence to prove it. Spokane Police Chief Craig Meidl, understanding where these laws come from, is nonetheless frustrated by the limitations of police.
