CWU to host Law Enforcement Recruitment Expo on May 28

Central Washington University will host a Law Enforcement Recruitment Expo on Wednesday, May 28, welcoming representatives from four Western Washington departments.

The event, co-hosted by the Department of Law and Justice, CWU Athletics, and University Recreation, will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Alder Recreation Complex, on the corner of Alder Street and 18^th Avenue.

Members of the King County Sheriff’s Department, Snohomish County Sheriff’s Department, Seattle Police Department, and Auburn Police Department will be on hand to talk to CWU students and community members who are interested in law enforcement careers.

Along with providing general information about their departments, the visiting organizations will present a variety of police and SWAT vehicles, a search-and-rescue vehicle, two helicopters, a boat and a Therapeutic Response Unit (TRU). At least one police K-9 unit will attend the expo, while demonstrations about drones, bomb squad, and SWAT will also be taking place.

Event organizers say the expo would be a good opportunity for students interested in forensics, data analysis, and other law enforcement-related careers.

The expo will provide students with a chance to speak to Human Resources staff from the visiting organizations to learn about potential job openings, what they are looking for in candidates, and more. Each of the organizations will also be doing backgrounds checks and interviews on the spot.
