With the departure of Cpl. Allen Ashby, the Bonners Ferry Police Department has hired 22-year-old, Joseph Scholten from Airway Heights, Wash. as a new officer. Scholten previously worked in a 12-man department in a town a little bigger than Bonners Ferry, where he completed an extensive academy training program. However, since he is now working in Idaho, he will go to the Idaho Police Academy located on the outskirts of Boise with a Field Training Officer to train him in the Idaho regulations and procedures.
