Criminal Activity Leads to Emphasis Patrols in Northwest Spokane

Spokane Police intensified patrols following two drive-by shootings on West Courtland Avenue in 2025. Both incidents occurred in the 1300 block, where evidence was recovered, but no victims or suspects have been determined. Authorities are soliciting assistance from the public for any information or surveillance footage. Increased officer presence and surveillance equipment aim to deter further violence and enhance community safety. Spokane has seen a rise in gun violence, prompting law enforcement to adopt proactive measures.

This initiative reflects a commitment to addressing public safety concerns in the area. Residents are advised to report any suspicious activity promptly. The public's cooperation is crucial in maintaining safety and preventing future incidents.
