New officers

The Town of Coulee Dam has hired two new police officers.

The two successful candidates were among four that had applied through the town’s Civil Service Commission.

Hired were Thomas Johnson, who currently is a jailer at Grant County jail. Johnson has already gone through the police academy so will be available for immediate assignment.

The second successful officer candidate is Cassidy Clark, currently finishing up his bachelor’s degree at Eastern Washington University.

He will need to take his police academy training so won’t be available for assignment until he finishes at the academy.

With the hiring of two new officers it brings the department to four officers.
