Grand Coulee’s new police officer is on the job.

Christopher McClanahan completed his academy training and began duties in the department Sept. 1.

McClanahan placed first in firearms at 99.1 percent and first in the class overall.

Hunt said it was the highest any of his officers have scored at the academy.
