The Washington State Patrol has made changes to its recruitment program in an effort to increase diversity within the agency.
With a goal of hiring 60 troopers from a round of academy classes starting in July, the state patrol is encouraging anyone interested in joining the agency to reach out to a recruiter regardless of their background or experience.
“We’re not looking for the perfect individual, but we are looking for an individual who’s the right fit for WSP, because at the end of the day, we know that there are qualified individuals who have a diverse background and we’d love to see all of them apply,” said trooper and recruiter Bryan Villanueva, who is one of 10 active WSP troopers currently working in Lewis County.

For 45 years, during the Cold War, the world was terrorized by the threat of nuclear war. With tensions reaching a boiling point between the United States and the Soviet Union over Berlin, Vietnam, and Cuba, the year 1962 was the most perilous in human history. It was in that year that Huron County, like the rest of humanity, prepared for surviving the unthinkable.
Despite the post-war prosperity, the world lived under the shadow of the nuclear mushroom cloud. Geopolitically, Canada, located between the two superpowers, would have been the “No-Man’s-Land” of any nuclear exchange. Planning for nuclear war was always a concern, a 1959 Financial Post article suggested that the Sifto salt mine was “one of the finest atomic bomb shelters in Canada.” Further, the Post speculated, access to such an extensive bomb shelter would “sell Goderich to prospective new industries.”
