OPPOSE: State Decertification of Elected Sheriffs
Citizens must OPPOSE HB 1399 which would give the Governor-appointed Criminal Justice Training Commission the authority to DE-CERITY your constitutionally elected sheriff, paving the way to move closer to appointed, rather than elected county sheriffs.

Certification and Accountability: Peace officers must maintain certification under RCW 43.101; failure to do so, or decertification, results in vacancy or termination (RCW 35.21.334, 36.28.025, Sec. 9). The Criminal Justice Training Commission prioritizes training access for these roles.

The CJTC is responsible for denying, suspending, or revoking certifications, and the bill reinforces this by requiring sheriffs to maintain certification or face a vacancy in their office

ALL members of the CJTC, except the ex officio members (Attorney General and State Patrol Chief), are appointed by the Governor.

Sheriff Duties: Sheriffs must enforce state laws as interpreted by the [politically captured] Washington Supreme Court, aligning with prior rulings (RCW 36.28.010).
