This fundraiser is a competition between the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office and the Spokane Police Department, to see who can raise more money for the Spokane Regional Law Enforcement Museum. The competition ends on March 31, 2024, so don’t delay!

Founded as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 1996 by Glen L. Whiteley, the museum had a storefront location in downtown Spokane from April 2010 to April 2015. Glen passed away in December of 2015, and we proudly continue what he started.

Our goals are to collect, preserve, exhibit, and interpret the objects that document and illustrate the history and importance of law enforcement in the Spokane region and to present that history to the public in order to build trust and understanding between the community and law enforcement.

We brought the Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Project under our nonprofit umbrella so that we could better honor and remember our fallen officers in Washington State at the first memorial in the state. The original monument was dedicated in 1987 at 1100 W. Mallon, and was later redone as a larger memorial and moved to its present location in 2007.

We currently have a museum space in the Central Valley SCOPE office during their open hours, inside the Spokane Valley Mall near the west entrance. We are happy to give tours of the “Hallways of History” in the Public Safety Building on request. The SRLEM Historical Office number is 509-625-3352.
