King County Sheriff’s Office welcomes new deputies
King County Sheriff’s Office (KCSO) recently welcomed the newest members to the team after completion of the Basic Law Enforcement Academy (BLEA). To become a Sheriff’s deputy, you must complete 720 hours of BLEA training within six months of hire. The 720-hour BLEA is designed to provide recruit officers with the basic knowledge and skills necessary for safe, proper, and effective law enforcement service.
King County’s Chief People Officer Whitney Abrams attended the graduating ceremony for the BLEA to recognize the newest King County graduates, including one she knows very well – her sister-in-law Sarah Lacy. The newest graduates are:
- Class 866: Deputy Sarah Lacy, Deputy Nicholas Vipperman, Deputy Jake Heninger, Deputy Austin Gutierrez.
- Class 867: Deputy Richard Kuss.
- Lateral Hire: Deputy Rebecca Horrocks.
“Please join us in congratulating our newest hires at KCSO,” said Sheriff Patti Cole-Tindall. “Best of luck in your next phase of training.”
Congratulations to the latest KCSO graduates and welcome to King County!
