| Annotation | The Spokane Police Department was formed in 1881 when the rough and tumble frontier town of Spokane was incorporated. In the next 23 years, the population grew from 500 residents to over 50,000 with enough crime to keep the police busy even as the city became respectable. Adult . |
| General Notes | "A study of the best and worst the police department and the city had to offer from 1881 to 1903. The city's growth and evolution is mirrored in the history of the police department. This account of Spokane's early history focuses on its darker, shadowy side and the Spokane Police Department's response"--Publisher description |
