Flags lowered for Spokane County sergeant killed in line of duty

Mayor Lisa Brown ordered flags at all City facilities to be lowered to half-staff in remembrance of Spokane County Sergeant Ken Salas. Salas tragically lost his life while helping with a traffic hazard on Interstate 90. "We are deeply saddened by the loss of Sergeant Salas, who was killed while serving our community," Mayor Brown stated. The City extends its deepest sympathies to his family, friends, and colleagues at the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office. Flags will remain lowered through Monday as a mark of respect.

The City encourages residents to participate in this recognition by lowering flags at their homes and businesses. Salas's death highlights the dangers faced by law enforcement officers in the line of duty. The community is urged to honor his service and sacrifice.
