Thank you, Clallam County Sheriff Brian King and Port Angeles Police Chief Brian Smith for your leadership.
I appreciate your statements which clearly explain your concerns about the public perception of the duties of local law enforcement.
As a Clallam County resident, I appreciate knowing that my law enforcement officials are focused on enforcing laws against criminal activity and not being distracted by the immigration status of our neighbors.
Having an undocumented status is a civil infraction, not a threat to public safety, and we are safer as a community when everyone can report criminal activity and help your investigations, no matter their immigration status.
Thank you again for understanding your role and prioritizing our safety.
