Port Townsend Police Chief Kristen Anderson will receive a public “sendoff”‘ sponsored by the officers and staff of her department Friday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Water Street police station.
The open house will “celebrate and honor Chief Anderson’s years of unsurpassed service and to give her a sendoff in the manner she deserves,” said a memo distributed among the Police Department staff.
After Friday, Anderson — Port Townsend police chief since 1999 — will go to the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children in Washington, D.C., where she will become supervisor of case analysis.
