New intern joins Sheriff’s Office

PORT ANGELES — The Clallam County Sheriff’s Office recently welcomed its first intern, Caitlin Stofferahn.

Stofferahn graduated from Sequim High School, received an Associates of Arts from Peninsula College in 2015 through Running Start and is in the baccalaureate program at Austin College, majoring in sociology.

Administrative Coordinator Lorraine Shore will mentor and supervise Stofferahn.

Stofferahn requested an internship with the Sheriff’s Office due to her interest in pursuing a career within criminal justice.

During her internship, she will participate in firearms simulator training, ride along with patrol deputies, shadow corrections personnel, watch court proceedings and work alongside the Emergency Operations Center personnel during the Cascadia Rising training exercise.
