Jim Pompey Green River Task

Force Captain

Jim Pompey, a graduate of Washington State University in criminal justice, joined the King County Sherriff's department in 1972. An investigator for police special operations in charge of the Marine Patrol Search and Rescue, he was an excellent

scuba diver.

After organizational changes were made to the investigation in 1983, Pompey was promoted to captain of the Green River Task

Force becoming the highest ranking African American in the sheriff’s office. He and his team

began to monitor their prime suspect, Gary Ridgeway.

Tragically, Pompey lost his life in a scuba diving accident a year after his promotion in 1987.
