Palouse police seek applicants

Palouse Police Department has received no applicants so far for its open police officer position, advertised since Dec. 1. The roster spot became open after Officer Joe Handley moved to the Colfax Police Department.

Reserve Officer Terry Snead has been working shift on Palouse but plans to depart in mid-April.

“We're not worried. We've had good luck getting good applicants late in the process,” said Mayor Michael Echanove

The Palouse Police department also covers Garfield under an agreement between the two towns.
