SPIRIT LAKE, Idaho — Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris spoke Tuesday to the Spirit Lake City Council, telling them he supports maintaining law and order in the city, but that something must be done.
“I am here to say that your model for public safety in the city cannot be sustained,” Norris said.
The Spirit Lake Police Department only has one police officer after the resignation of Lt. Morgan John, leaving seven open positions and a vacant leadership position for a police chief.
