JANUARY 22nd, 2015 – JANUARY 28th, 2015

On 01/24 I received a message at the SHOA office about glass bottles being stolen from a yard on

I.Street. The homeowner just wanted me to know what had happened and did not wish to file a theft

report.

On 01/24 I was dispatched to a domestic violence call in the 30800th block of I Street. After the investi-

gation I arrested and booked the male half for assault in the 4th degree DV.

On 01/25 I had two cases of harassment in the 30000-30200 block of U Place. Both parties advised me

that the same woman is harassing them over a dog issue and trespassing. Both parties were advised of

their option for getting a restraining order.

On 01/26 I observed multiple signs down around the Surfside area. County public works was advised

and all the signs were replaced.

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.

Category 1: Trees or any plant growth into or out of the waterway obstructing safe passage.

Category 2: Trees or any plant growth towards the middle of waterway but not yet threatening safe passage.

stories from her 2014 book The Next Tsunami: Living on a Restless Coast,

which the Los Angeles Times called “riveting” and Maclean’s magazine de-

scribed as “must-reading for anyone living on the West Coast”.

River Maritime Museum program introducing maritime science, history,

and technology in an informal setting. This program is free and open to the

public, minors are allowed with adult.
