Always nice to see our fallen honored and remembered. Thank you 💙

The WPPA is thrilled to help support the Officer Ryan Copeland Memorial K9 Golf Outing today in Cottage Grove. Ryan was the first K9 handler for the McFarland Police Department, and since his tragic line of duty death in 2015, the outing has served as a great way to support the K-9 unit and honor Ryan’s memory. Pictured here are WPPA Business Agents Kevin Sorenson, Jeff Spencer, Andrew Wagner, and Kelly Powers.
