Tribal Correctional Facility Officers

The first Officer the Tribal Correctional Facility sent down to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Artesia, New Mexico was Sergeant Tony Atkins. The training at that time was six weeks long. Sergeant Atkins graduated November 27, 2002. Sergeant Atkins has since been working with the Colville Tribal Correctional Facility helping to prepare other officers for the Academy.

The next two officers to go to the Academy were Chelsea R. Arlee and Johnathan Smith. Officer Arlee graduated in May 2003 and Officer Smith on August 20, 2004. This was also six weeks of training.

On July 5, 2005, we were able to send two more Officers to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. The training had been extended to an eight week course which included cross training in Juvenile and Adult Corrections. These Officers were Ruth Louie and Ron Warren. Both graduated on August 24, 2005. Ron Warren was selected as class speaker at the graduation.

On August 29, 2005, another Corrections training class began. We were able to send twenty Officers down to attend this training. Nineteen Officers graduated from this class on October 20, 2005. This was the largest group from one Facility ever to attend the Indian Police Academy. Each Officer went through training at the Colville Correctional Facility in preparation for the Academy. The Officers had physical training and practiced drill. They studied a variety of subjects such as Constitutional Law. They also learned the Policy and Procedures of the Correctional Facility. The following is a list of those Officers who graduated October 20, 2005:
Leslie A. Anderson David W. Burford
Donald L. Burford Gary L. Carden
Linda S. Clark Debbie M. Davis
Linda M. Desautel Lisa M. Gabriel
Linda B. Goodwin Curtis A. Kessler
Hazel I. Kurlovich Anthony A. Marchand
Michael E. Parks Matthew S. Sanborn
Richard J. Stanczak Lawrence M. Williams
Michelle M. Williams Katherine A. Woolbert
Garry J. Zacherle

Out of this class several Officers were recognized for special achievements. Garry Zacherle was recognized for outstanding Academic achievement. His grade point average was above 95 percent. He was the first Cadet to achieve this award in three years. Donald Burford was recognized for his contribution as Platoon Leader. Michael Parks, Matthew Sanborn, Gary Carden and Garry Zacherle were Squad Leaders. Linda Desautel was voted class speaker for the graduation.

Two weeks behind this class another class graduated on November 2, 2005. The Colville Correctional Facility had three Officers graduate. The following are the graduating Officers:
David Cirk Sarah J. Clark April F. Stensgar
David Cirk was recognized for his contribution as a Squad Leader.

The Colville Correctional Facility has sent a total of Twenty-eight Officers to the Academy. Of those twenty-eight Officers, twenty-seven have graduated and one will be returning. The Academy training is not easy. It is stressful for both the Officers and their families to have them away from home for so long. Both the Officers and their families have to sacrifice for the Officer to graduate. The training itself is difficult and includes both Academics and physical training. The Officers worked up to running two and a half miles as well as doing push ups, crunches and other exercises. The high success rate in the graduation of our officers is no doubt due in part to the hard work of those officers who went before them and did their best to help prepare the next group for their upcoming challenging tasks.

Sincerely,
Commander John Dick
