Staff Report
Humboldt Sentinel
Arcata’s police force, the largest per capita in Humboldt County, is seeing a further expansion of its ranks.
At a ceremony to be held tomorrow at City Hall, recent College of the Redwoods Police Academy graduate Jeremiah Kasinger will join the Arcata Police Department as a new peace officer. APD will also swear in Yesenia Arevalo as an emergency communications dispatcher.
Kasinger currently serves as a volunteer firefighter with the Eureka Fire Department, and has previous experience as a corrections officer and emergency medical technician. Arevalo comes from the Emeryville Police Department after serving eight years as a dispatcher there; she’s also been an animal control officer with the Oakland Police Department and a volunteer with the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department Search and Rescue unit.
City brass also intend to recognize Fred Jamison and Paul Wilson as sergeants in the Community Volunteer Patrol Program. Jamison is a retires Arcata School District teacher, while Wilson was a reserve sergeant with APD from 1965-71.
“This is the first time since the creation of the CVPP program in 1994 that members have been promoted to the rank of sergeant,” lieutenant Ryan Peterson stated in a release.
The swearing-in will take place at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 20, and is open to the public.
