Agencies mull image issues

COEUR d’ALENE — The Coeur d’Alene Police Department may be taking the heat this week, but a string of officer-involved shootings in the past couple of years has many law enforcement agencies concerned about their eroding public image.

Kootenai County Sheriff Ben Wolfinger and Undersheriff Dan Mattos met with Post Falls Police Chief Scot Haug on Friday to discuss just that.

“That’s what we are doing here today. We were discussing how to deal with that image,” Wolfinger said after a morning meeting at Calypso’s Coffee in Coeur d’Alene. “You should start seeing some stuff come out on this early next week.”
