While I am happy that POP gets Officer Couch, I hope whoever gets his beat continues his excellent work on patrol

Eureka Police Department's Officer Joseph Couch will be transferring to the POP unit soon. The POP unit rotates officers and while this is good news for POP, I hope whoever replaces Officer Couch continues his excellent work on patrol. Officer Couch keeps the citizens of Eureka, particularly the women and children, safe from the  sex offenders he has arrested.



I have seen Officer Couch handle a variety of calls on patrol and he is a good role model for the new officers and future recruits.
