Thank you Vineyard Park for hosting us for Coffee with a Cop on Tuesday! We love getting out and connecting with our community members.

On Thursday, this little chihuahua was found near the intersection of 159th Avenue Ct. E. and Washington Street E. in Sumner, and the owner has not been located. We would greatly appreciate your help in spreading the word so we can help get this dog home!

We couldn’t be more proud!

Minnesota is getting closer!

Let’s hear it for Chief Andy!

Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.

When visiting downtown Sumner, please remember to follow posted parking signs and back in where back-in angle parking is required.

Backing into designated spaces helps improve visibility, traffic flow and safety for drivers, pedestrians and other visitors. Pulling in forward can create a hazard when leaving the space and may result in a parking citation.

Thank you for helping keep Sumner safe and welcoming for everyone.

Join us in honoring law enforcement professionals whose lives were taken in the line of duty.

The Pierce County Law Enforcement Remembrance Ceremony will take place on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, at 10 a.m. at the County-City Building, 930 Tacoma Avenue, Tacoma.

Community members are invited to attend this ceremony, hosted by local law enforcement leaders through the Pierce County Police Chiefs Association, to reflect, pay tribute, and support the families and loved ones forever impacted by their sacrifice.

Safety first! We recently participated in a grant funded traffic safety/seatbelt emphasis in Sumner, with support from Tacoma PD. Over the 4-hour emphasis, we made a total of 37 traffic stops and issued 51 citations. Wearing a seatbelt is one of the easiest things we can do to drastically reduce likelihood of injury or death from a collision. Remember to buckle up!
