Letter: Lattin a man of respect, community involvement

I have known officer Ken Lattin the last 16 years, growing up in Kennewick and being good friends with Ken’s sons. I’ve always admired how calm and collected he is.

One of the biggest traits I have seen from him over the years may be the respect he shows for everyone; no matter the person or situation, you will get the same tone and treatment from Ken.

Ken is a hard working father of three that always found time to watch his kids’ sporting events while working a full schedule at the police department and doing many different public services in town (D.A.R.E, Every 15 Minutes, Special Olympics to name a few). He also managed to finish his masters the last five years and currently is working on his doctorate.

Officer Lattin is a man of action and modest in the level of experience he has in the police force and community.
