OLYMPIA, Wash. – More than 125 state troopers have been cut following Governor Jay Inslee’s mask mandate.
Washington State Patrol announced Tuesday morning it “separated” 127 people from employment who were not vaccinated by the Oct. 18 deadline. This included 53 civil servants and 74 officers. The officers include 67 troopers, six sergeants and one captain.
WSP said it has more than 2,200 people in eight districts and the firings are spread across the state.
“As for the more than 2,000 individuals who elected to stay with our agency, I am forever thankful. We have the responsibilities of the agency to carry forward and I am not going to ask you to do more with less. We shall do our very best to keep our remaining staff from becoming overburdened by these temporary losses,” WSP Chief Batiste said.
Batiste added the department thanks those who were let go for their service and it will miss them.
“COVID is a killer and the state is taking action intended to improve public safety,” Chief Batiste said in a memo sent to all WSP employees Monday. “I thank you for staying on post and staying in service to this state and agency.”

Put the pedal to the metal in Washington!
So they fired 5% of their workforce. I hope the ones who suffer the most and have crimes committed against them are the ones who had a hand in laying down the mandate.
And there still is no mandate.
Scarier part: The people who didn’t leave.
I wonder how many of the personnel still on the job are the kind willing to do anything for a paycheck.
Question to State Trooper (or nurse, or doctor, or military person, etc.): What did you do during the pandemic when a lot of people were cowering in their homes and there was no “vaccine”?
State Trooper: I went to work. Every day.
Question to State Trooper: What happened after the pandemic?
State Trooper: I got fired.
The people running our government need to locked up in insane asylums. They are all nuts.
I guess they’ll be parking the cruisers empty on the highway. After a few hours everyone will know all’s clear:-)
...........well, just about every jurisdiction in America needs cops so they will have plenty opportunities. I don’t recommend blue states either.
Last year more than half of the Seattle Police quit due to de-funding and moved to FL. FL was literally sending ads to recruit from them and have filled their personnel quotas.
No, not Federal. But with a little "wink, wink" from the Biden Regime to the blue states, a mandate was "initiated".
