The Blaine Police Department has recently expanded its force with the addition of five new officers, sworn in by the City Clerk on July 29. According to the Blaine Police Department, officers Sam Fritz, Diana Mokey, Tim Wessels, Mike Quinn, and Jacob Chamberland were greeted by their peers at the induction ceremony.
A notable detail about the new officers includes the fact that Fritz and Mokey are already familiar faces within the BPD; they started their careers as Community Service Officers. The remaining three - Wessels, Quinn, and Chamberland - bring experience from other agencies. This blend of internal growth and external recruitment is indicative of BPD's approach to community service and law enforcement. The department expressed their gratitude for these new members choosing to bring their expertise to BPD, "we are grateful they are making the transition to BPD."
The warm welcome presented to Fritz, Mokey, Wessels, Quinn, and Chamberland serves as a public endorsement of their potential within the department. "Welcome Sam, Diana, Tim, Mike, and Jacob, we are so happy you joined the Blaine team and know you will excel through the Field Training Program," as stated by the Blaine Police Department.
