Langley’s police ranks are poised to increase by one officer soon.

Randy Heston, Langley’s police chief, told the city council his department expected to offer the job within two weeks. The search for an additional officer, which will bring Langley’s police force to four, was filed down from six candidates, three of whom are from Washington.

After the applicant is hired, the officer will go through mandatory training on Washington rules and an 80-hour law course.
