Police Department staff changes
I'd like to express my gratitude to the city staff and the first responders whose hard work and dedication make Brier such a great place to live.
The Brier Police Department has a change in leadership and some staff changes. First, I'd like to announce the promotion of Alex Hawley to Interim Chief. In addition to serving 12 years in the United States Marine Corps, he has ten years of experience serving in positions of increasing experience and leadership with the King County Sheriff's Office and here at Brier. I have a great deal of respect and confidence in Interim Chief Hawley and thank him for agreeing to step up and lead the Brier Police Department during this time of transition.
We welcome a new employee, Officer Jacquelyn Reimer, who has 2 years of experience and comes to Brier from the City of Bothell.
There are two departures to observe: departing are Lieutenant Ridout and former Chief Almquist. Staffing continues to be a challenge in Police Departments in Washington state, and the City of Brier is no exception. BPD continues to recruit new officers, offering a competitive wage and $10,000 signing bonus. We are grateful for the continued partnership and support of the Snohomish County Sheriff's Department, who provide additional coverage as needed.
Welcome to the website of the Brier Police Department. I hope you will find the information contained here to be very useful and informative.
On a daily basis the men and women of the Brier Police Department strive to deliver the highest level of service possible to this community. You can be assured that we are constantly reaching for that level of professionalism that reflects the faith and trust you, the citizens of Brier, put in us.
We offer a full range of police services from Animal Control, Crime Prevention, Patrol and Investigations to Fingerprinting and a Traffic Violations Bureau. The commissioned staff provides 24/7 coverage throughout our jurisdiction and stand ready to assist our neighboring agencies when mutual aid needs arise. We endeavor to field the best technology available to provide public safety, ensure excellent investigations and successful prosecutions.
It is my belief that the only reason we have the success we enjoy is because of the terrific cooperation support we receive from members of our community, the City Council and all the City departments. Recognizing this, the Police Department will continue to build on cooperative efforts that involve you, the public.
