Aberdeen, Hoquiam, and Cosmopolis Police Departments are still taking applications for a few more days and we have room for a couple more people. This is open to all residents of Grays Harbor. We are starting January 7 and go through March 24th. All the information is below. Thank you.

The Aberdeen, Hoquiam, and Cosmopolis Police Departments are proud to announce the 2nd annual West County Citizen’s Academy starting January 7, 2020. This Citizen’s Academy is being offered at no expense to the attendees.

The purpose of the Citizen’s Academy is to expose our residents to some of the interesting aspects of law enforcement and the local criminal justice system here in Grays Harbor. The courses are designed to give citizens a unique insight and experience into what law enforcement does every day serving our communities.

On December 5, 2019, at the 7-11 corporate sales rally in Auburn, WA the Aberdeen Police Explorer Post was selected and awarded a community grant for $2000.00 from the 7-11 corporation. The grant named “Project A Game” is awarded to Law Enforcement Partners that contribute to youth programs such as the explorers. The grant funding will be used to support the explorer post in training, equipment and community events.

The Aberdeen Police Department wishes to thank the local Aberdeen 7-11 stores that contributed to this grant.

In a morning statement on social media, Hoquiam Police Chief Myers said that he received word from Columbia Wellness who operates the local crisis center and intervention team that states "staffing levels will drop below a safety threshold that will not allow Columbia Wellness to continue to provide crisis services as of December 12th, 2019."
