Port Angeles Police Department Adds Two New Officers

A $500,210 grant from the Justice Department will enable the Port Angeles Police Department to add two new officers. This will give them a total of 33 officers.

This grant is part of a $1 billion stimulus package to put more police officers on the street. The program is called Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS).

The two new officers are Justin Leroux, a former National Guard pilot; and Kori Malone, formerly a Sequim police detective.
