Shirley said at a March 12 meeting of the commission that trains and certifies all Washington police officers.

BLAINE, Wash. — Speed matters as the cooks at Blaine Elementary school serve up hot food to hundreds of hungry kids that will line up during six lunch periods. “I need to get these kids through in about ten minutes,” said Sue Wozniak, who has worked for the Blaine School District in Whatcom County for 26 years.

SEATTLE — The Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission (WSCJTC) permanently banned using a popular police handgun at its facilities, citing evidence that the Sig Sauer P320 can fire without anyone pulling the trigger. “My position has to be safety because we know so much now that if I make a different decision, I don’t feel like I’m being responsible,” said Monica Alexander, WSCJTC executive director.
