Clallam County sheriff promotes two deputies

PORT ANGELES — Clallam County Sheriff Brian King has promoted Deputy David Fletcher to detective and Deputy Sean Hoban to patrol sergeant.

A ceremony took place Sept. 3.

Fletcher was hired as a patrol deputy on Aug. 22, 2016. He previously worked as a police officer for five years with the La Push Police Department. He is a child forensic interviewer, field training officer and a firearms instructor.

Hoban was hired as a patrol deputy on June 1, 2016. He previously worked as a police officer for two years for the state Department of Natural Resources, and prior to that he served as a police officer for seven years with La Push Police Department.

Hoban is a child forensic interviewer, integrated arrest tactics instructor, Project Lifesaver instructor, field training officer, crisis negotiator in addition to serving on the honor guard.

Fletcher will be assigned to the Criminal Investigations Bureau and will be dedicated to investigating major crime incidents on the West End.

Hoban will be the first line supervisor for the deputies on the West End.

Detachments III and IV are situated in the most northwestern corner of the county. Together, the two detachments cover more than half of Clallam County and provide services to six communities and more than 10,000 residents.

Largely forested and unpopulated, the West End is the largest area to patrol geographically. The West End deputies investigate and respond to calls in both detachments.

The Forks detachment office is currently located outside Forks. Deputies assist the Forks Police Department, Quileute Tribal Police in La Push, Makah Tribal Police in Neah Bay, the state Department of Natural Resources, Olympic National Park, U.S. Coast Guard and Jefferson County in a wide range of tasks.
