Grand Coulee Police Chief Mel Hunt, left, swears in Adam Florenzen, a new provisional officer. Florenzen who replaces Otto Heath who is leaving the department to take a similar position in the Boise area. Florenzen has been a patrol officer in Coulee Dam for the past two years, but was let go when the town of Coulee Dam lost its contract with the Bureau of Reclamation. The council voted last Tuesday night to allow the police department to add a provisional officer.
