New intern joins Sheriff’s Office

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

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.
