SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - A 2008 Douglas High School graduate is the newest member of the South Lake Tahoe Police Department (SLTPD).
Ryan Brown was sworn in by SLTPD Chief Brian Uhler in front of family, fellow officers, members of the SLT Fire Department and other staff members on Monday afternoon. He comes from the Alpine County Sheriff's Office where he spent four years as a deputy. Ryan has also been with the Nevada Air National Guard for six years.
Brown is a third-generation member of law enforcement. His dad Rick Brown was a member of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office and Nevada Department of Public Safety. His grandfather John was with the Los Angeles Police Department and, most recently, part of the legislative police department in Carson City.
Ryan's mother Kim and grandmother Judy were also there to support him. Kim was once the assistant girls' basketball coach at South Tahoe High School.
SLTPD had faced struggles in filling the open positions on the force, but Brown's addition leaves the department just one officer short.
