Happy National Dog Day from our Enumclaw Police pups!

We have a host of dogs in the Enumclaw Police family. We recently redid our department photos and many of our staff took the opportunity to include their pets in their photos. Pictured here, we have Patrol Sergeant Bryan with his pug, Carlton, Corrections Officer Ives with his pug, Sushi, Communications Officer Tracie with her therapy lab, Backup, Records Manager Sarah with her Frenchie/Boston Terrier, Milly, and Detective Sergeant Johnson with her Cane Corso, Jax. We do not have any official K9s in our department, but we definitely have a lot of love for our canine companions.

SCAM ALERT!!!!!

The City of Enumclaw has received several reports of phishing attempts requesting wire transfers for payments. These emails are cleverly crafted to appear to come from legitimate city employees. These emails do not originate from our city email system or staff, and they request payment for city services via wire transfer. The City of Enumclaw will never request payment via wire or bank transfer, gift cards, cryptocurrency, or other non-standard means. If you have questions regarding a suspicious payment request, feel free to contact the appropriate city department.
