Bill > SR8667

This resolution honors Monica Alexander, Executive Director of the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission, upon her retirement on March 31, 2026. The resolution highlights her distinguished career, including over two decades with the Washington State Patrol where she became the first Black female to achieve the ranks of sergeant, lieutenant, and captain, and was instrumental in policy advancements such as securing wage increases for officers and funding for critical systems like toxicology labs and sexual assault kit tracking. It also acknowledges her leadership in expanding law enforcement training facilities and eliminating wait times for new officers, thereby improving access to certification and training, particularly for those in smaller agencies, and her significant impact on changing the culture of policing in Washington to be more representative and community-focused.
