Camas supports police training facility in Southwest Washington

Camas City Council this week unanimously approved a resolution supporting the creation of a criminal justice training facility in Southwest Washington.

“It is expected that, when the next session of the Washington State Legislature convenes, a bill will be introduced to create regional training sites across the state of Washington for the purpose of providing law enforcement officer and corrections officer training,” Camas Police Chief Mitch Lackey told the Camas City Council members on Monday, Sept. 19. “One of these proposed regional training facility sites is in Vancouver.”
