Dear Mr. Harball,
I respectfully request that Officers Dennis Bain and Ben Sutton be confirmed as patrol
officers for the Kalispell Police Department. Both Officer Bain and Sutton have
successfully completed the one year probationary period effective March 30, 2012.
Officer Bain is an Army veteran and has earned an Associate of Science Degree from
Flathead Valley Community College. During the Law Enforcement Basic Academy
Officer Bain received the Alex Mavity award which is the student with the top
accumulated ranking for all scored activities which includes physical fitness, academic
and practical exercise scores.
Officer Sutton is a Marine Coip veteran and has earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree from
Carroll College. Officer Sutton also excelled while at the Basic Academy where he
finished just a fraction of a point from winning the overall physical fitness award.
