PORT ANGELES — Three State Patrol troopers on the North Olympic Peninsula were honored last week for their work in 2010.
Trooper Travis Beebe, who works in the Port Angeles detachment, was selected as the District 8 Trooper of the Year.
District 8 encompasses Clallam, Jefferson, Kitsap, Mason, Pacific, Wahkiakum and Grays Harbor counties.
Trooper Grant Clark, also of the Port Angeles detachment, was selected as the District 8 Collision Tech of the Year.
Trooper Russell Sanders, who covers Jefferson County from the Port Townsend detachment, received the Looking Beyond the Traffic Stop award.
“Only one trooper is selected per category for the entire district, so it is a significant accomplishment and well-deserved by each one of these troopers,” said Krista Hedstrom, State Patrol spokeswoman.
The award winners from each district will be considered for statewide recognition in May, Hedstrom said.
