Congratulations to our two newest officers, Clancy Gloor, Intake Officer and Harley Thompson, Probation Officer! Having completed all mandated training, they were sworn in and received their badges from Judge Layton on August 6, 2024. Our two year veteran Probation Officer, Kristin Richiert also received a new badge. The new badges were designed to better reflect our position as Officers of the Court instead of law enforcement.
