Get to know Newcastle Police Department Officer Brittany Burtner!

Years in law enforcement both with the King County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) and any other agencies

I was with Nevada Highway Patrol (Las Vegas, NV) for 9.5 years and over 4 years with KCSO.

Time in Newcastle and what you like about being here

I have been with Newcastle since Sept. 21, 2018, and I like how small the community is. I like that I am able to interact with the community more.

What you wish people know about police/police work, etc.

I wish people would know that police officers do this job because we CARE and want to protect. That when we put that uniform on for every shift, we are going to put our life on the line no matter what to keep the community safe.

Hobbies outside of work

I love spending time with my dog Koda and my friends. I love going to Mariner baseball games and golfing, which I haven't golfed Newcastle yet, but hoping to soon. I also love to travel and go back home to Vegas and spend time with my family and friends.
