Washougal police prep for staffing changes

The Washougal Police Department (WPD) is about to face more turnover than its police chief can recall in his 22 years of working in the department.

WPD Chief Ron Mitchell told the Washougal City Council during their workshop, Monday, Aug. 27, that Officer Casey Handley has tendered his resignation, effective Sept. 18, in favor of returning to the Camas Police Department and earning approximately $500 more a month.
