PORT ANGELES — Clallam County Sheriff Joe Hawe is on alert status as a U.S. Coast Guard reserve special agent — and could be put on active duty at any time as part of the war with Iraq.
“If headquarters calls up more reserve agents, I’ll go,” Hawe said.
Hawe would remain in the country conducting terrorism investigations in the Northwest, or possibly in Washington, D.C., he said.
Hawe, a reserve special agent for 20 years, was notified Monday by the Coast Guard that he is subject to immediate call-up for service — and will have 48 hours to report if activated.
