Wenatchee – Washington State Patrol’s Wenatchee Detachment 1 was selected as the District 6 “Detachment of the Year.” Detachment 1 produced outstanding efforts towards reducing collisions and apprehending impaired drivers throughout 2018. The team worked together to coordinate emphases around select national dates, holidays, Leavenworth special events such as Oktoberfest, and traffic on various weekends and special events through the busiest months. They targeted specific areas with high traffic volumes. Their efforts increased DUI arrests by 37% in 2018 compared to 2017.
The Detachment is led by Sergeant Ryan Raymond. The detachment made a significant difference to the citizens of Chelan and Douglas Counties. Detachment 1 continues to partner with the Wenatchee Police Department, East Wenatchee Police Department, the Chelan County Sheriff’s Office, and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office to conduct joint traffic safety emphases to focus on DUI, speed, distracted driving and occupant restraint enforcement.
