City of Pullman

In order to improve City services by facilitating snow, gravel, and leaf removal, parking is restricted in portions of the College Hill core area during WSU fall, winter, and spring breaks.

The Pullman Police Department is dedicated to ongoing and proactive training in preparation for a mass casualty event; preparation that we hope to never need. Should the time ever come, officers are prepared to respond and take immediate action to neutralize any threat to public safety.

National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, April 10-16, 2022, recognizes the invaluable contributions of emergency dispatchers to public safety and emergency response.

At the request of Pullman Police Department detectives, members of the Spokane Police Department Special Investigations Unit located and arrested 47-year-old Kenneth Downing at approximately 10:45 am today, at a Spokane job site where he works construction. Downing, of Elk, Washington, faces multiple felony charges stemming from a series of home invasion / sexual assaults that occurred in Pullman between November 2003 and March 2004.

Last year, a number of police reform bills were passed by the Washington State Legislature. At that time, the Pullman Police Department provided information outlining the impacts of those bills on local law enforcement activities, including changes to the less-lethal options available for use by officers, as well as impacts to pursuit and use-of-force procedures. During the State’s most recent legislative session, legislation was passed to mitigate the unintended consequences of last year’s bills.
