Bryan Howard of the King County Sheriff’s Office has been promoted to Major, and will now serve as Precinct Commander of the Burien Precinct, which also serves White Center.

Major Howard – formerly a Captain – has worked for the department for 27 years, and spent many years patrolling White Center before moving to other assignments.

“One of my most rewarding assignments was serving as a storefront officer in Park Lake Homes in White Center,” Howard said. “I’ve worked in a number of positions throughout my career, but always consider the Burien Precinct as my home assignment.”

Rick Bridges is now the Captain overseeing White Center, and he and Howard will work closely to focus on crime reduction and community outreach. You can reach Howard at (206) 477-2248 or Captain Bridges at (206) 263-2546.
