Officer Chico Rodriquez Accepts Housing Authority Position
Sunnyside, WA- Effective March 15, 2010 Officer Severiano “Chico” Rodriquez will be transferred to a new position within the Sunnyside Police Department. Officer Rodriquez will be assigned to work in conjunction with the Sunnyside Housing Authority. This is a position that was not available at the Sunnyside Police Department in recent history; however we are excited to announce the partnership between the Sunnyside Police Department and the Sunnyside Housing Authority. We feel as though this partnership will be beneficial to both agencies in that we not only will have the opportunity to assist the Sunnyside Housing Authority in their quest for safer residences for their tenants but will have the opportunity to be an available resource for the tenants of those properties. Officer Rodriquez will continue as a fully commissioned Sunnyside Police Officer serving Sunnyside Housing Authority properties.
Officer Rodriquez has been with the Sunnyside Police Department since 1986 and most recently served as the School Resource Officer at Harrison Middle School. We are excited for him to continue his dedicated service with the Sunnyside Police Department in this new capacity.
