New officer sworn into Fortuna Police Department

A new officer joins the ranks of the Fortuna Police Department.

Jordan Walstrom was sworn in by Fortuna Mayor Sue Long at a ceremonial badge pinning Tuesday.

He brings with him two years of experience with the Rio Dell Police Department.

Officer Walstrom is the first new police officer for Fortuna to be hired with funding from the city’s Measure E tax – a three-quarters cent sales tax to maintain city services that was approved by voters in 2016.

City staff asks that if you see Officer Walstrom on the street, to give him a Friendly Fortuna hello!
