On 01/16 I received a report of a burglary in the 1500 block of 324th Pl. I contacted a responsible party for the

property and he advised me that his father had passed away and he had moved a lot of items out of the house,

but had come back and found some things missing. He stated he had questioned a friend of his and the friend

had admitted to taking the items, but said he would return them. A report was taken and the victim stated he

would give the suspect some time to return the items.

On 01/17 I was on patrol when I observed a male subject whom I knew to have warrants for his arrest. Anoth-

er deputy and I took the suspect in to custody and located drug paraphernalia on him. The suspect also needed

to be questioned in a burglary case. He was taken to the office and questioned, and then he was transported

and booked in to the jail.

On 01/20 I was on patrol when I was advised of a wanted person in the Surfside area. I checked the

residence in question, but found no signs of anyone being at the residence lately.

On 01/21 I received a note about a harassment incident. The reporting party wanted to know what his options

were and wanted no further contact from the person involved.

WDFW NEWS RELEASE

Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife http://wdfw.wa.gov/

WDFW police featured on Animal Planet's 'Rugged Justice'

Animal Planet's new documentary series 'Rugged Justice' follows Washington State

Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) police as they patrol mountains, coasts and

city streets, protecting natural resources and serving the people of Washington.

The six-episode series premieres Sunday, Jan. 18, at 8 p.m. on Animal Planet.

"Our participation in the series provides an opportunity for WDFW's Law Enforcement

Program to promote the department and the dedicated professionals that carry out

our mission of protecting our natural resources and the public we serve," said WDFW

deputy chief Mike Hobbs. "Policing the outdoors presents unique challenges, and this

show helps to inform the public about our critical role in preserving, protecting and

perpetuating fish, wildlife and ecosystems in Washington."

WDFW officers enforce all state laws, including those related to fishing and hunting,

licensing and protecting natural habitat. Officers also provide first response to inci-

dents involving potentially dangerous wildlife, including bear and cougar, and other

public safety issues.

"'Rugged Justice' provides a window into the vital, varied and sometimes harrowing

work of officers as they protect nature and people in Washington," said Steve Crown,

WDFW enforcement chief.

The WDFW enforcement program has 144 officers deployed statewide.

Officers appearing in 'Rugged Justice' were not paid by the show's producers or

Animal Planet for their participation.

January 24th Beach Cleanup Details:

Cleanup day: Come out to any major beach approach at 9:30 am

to sign in and pick up supplies on Saturday, January 24th, or join

an adopt-a-beach group (we can help connect you), you can

make a huge difference!

Then finish off the day of good work sharing stories with other volunteers over a free bowl of

hot soup at the Moose Lodge located at 25915 "U" Street in Ocean Park. From noon until the

pots run dry, around 1:30 or 2 pm.

Note: We are not rolling bags nor having a potluck the evening of January 23rd. We ARE in

need of 1) one volunteer or couple to orchestrate the pre-cleanup bag

rolling/speaker/potlucks, and 2) another team to manage the supply storage distribu-

tion/collection before and after each cleanup. Let Shelly know if you would be interested to

manage either project for the three annual events.

Areas that Need Help on Cleanup Day and Beyond

Aside from the help noted above, we need drivers and their 4-wheel trucks to collect filled

bags of trash and haul other large items to the dumpsters. We also need a few more Adopt-A-

Beach Groups! Bolstad approach north to Clark’s tree, a couple of areas on the north end and

pretty much all the areas south of Seaview as well as Benson Beach. Do you have a group -

maybe your family, friends or co-workers - that would like to adopt a beach? If so, please

contact [email protected] .

For just 12 hours a year – you can make an amazing difference in how healthy and gorgeous

our beach is!

The Grassroots Garbage Gang is a 501 c3, not-for-profit, group that cleans up the Peninsula beaches

in South Pacific County, Washington. Each January, April and July hundreds of volunteers clean the

Peninsula's 25-mile beach. Support comes from incredible volunteers, local businesses, City of Long

Beach, Marine Resource Committee, Department of Ecology, Washington State Parks and many oth-

ers. For more information visit www.ourbeach.org
