Sequim Civic Center hosts pieces of police history

The long arm of local law is in the spotlight this month.

An exhibit of historic Sequim Police Department memorabilia is on display in the lobby of the Sequim Civic Center, 152 W. Cedar St., through May in honor of National Police Week, set for May 14-20.

The exhibit includes uniforms, badges and patches worn by Sequim Police officers through the years and, exhibitors say, serves as a timeline of significant events in the department.

An area is set up where visitors can take their own “mug shot” along with another photograph opportunity with a cutout of an officer in the K-9 Officer display area.

Police Sgt. Mike Hill, and officers Kindryn Leiter and Rick Larsen worked with the Sequim Museum and Arts Center in putting the exhibit together.

The Sequim Civic Center is open 8 a.m-4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday.

For more information, call the Sequim Police Department at 683-7227.
