On Thursday night, the City of Wasco and the Police Department reveled in its accomplishment of starting the department and held a meet and greet with the community at Wasco High School.
Now after 13 months of work, the city has the staffing, equipment, and vehicles in place, but the only thing they're missing is their 9-1-1 call center.
Wasco Vice Mayor Alex Garcia says the strong leadership and good reputation of Chief Charlie Fivecoat is the reason the newly-approved city police force is coming together so smoothly.
