DID YOU KNOW? - Patrol Division

In this series of short videos, the patrol command team will inform the community on a few of the inner workings that occur everyday in Patrol. We hope you enjoy!

DEVELOPING TOMORROW'S LEADERS!
On July 31st 2026, YPD was excited to host a first of its kind leadership seminar for future police leaders. Drawing on the vast and incredible experiences of leaders from criminal justice such as those recently promoted and what Police Chiefs look for in promoting staff, to the extraordinary knowledge and experience of private sector leaders across our community and beyond. We had great presentations on organizational leadership skills, officer wellness, and how to manage crisis from many awe inspiring speakers. The course was made possible by the many donations of support from several organizations in Yakima, which were so grateful for. It is safe to say that the future of policing in the central Washington region is in good hands and many of the young leaders in the room will take our communities to great places in the years to come. Special thanks to all who contributed to the success of this seminar!

Servants not leaders. In America we the people lead, and Servants make it happen.
Sounds like there was a ton of experience in that room! What a great opportunity to learn from it.
Can any of the new leaders find out why Don Ruff, acting manager of the Chestnut Manor Apts., gets away with stealing wheelchairs, ignores calls to examine mold throughout the building, hired an IT tech named Norman Ives Jr. to hack into devices of elderly tenants, and didn't report thefts of tenants rent checks and money orders out of the front office????
