Port Angeles: Police to recruit residents, businesses for “community-oriented policing” training

Published 12:01 am Wednesday, February 18, 2004

PORT ANGELES — The Police Department will recruit business owners, community leaders, residents and elected officials to attend “community oriented policing” training in late April.

The training is a result of an federally funded assessment study of the Port Angeles Police Department conducted 10 months ago.

The assessment report itself will be revealed at a 2 p.m. news conference Friday at City Hall.

In the meantime, police officials are formulating a plan based on the federal Justice Department program called Community Oriented Policing Services, or COPS.
