Detective Cary Coblantz, Shoreline Police Detective of the Year. In 2009 Detective Coblantz identified a minimum of three large scale burglary rings that were operating in King and Snohomish Counties. Based on the cases filed by Detective Coblantz and the suspect information he provided, numerous felony charges have been brought against the suspects in these cases. To date, these burglary rings are responsible for hundreds of residential and commercial burglaries. Detective Coblantz has received numerous commendations (Shoreline Police Department, Seattle Police Department and the King County Prosecutors Office) this year recognizing him for the exceptional job he has done as an investigator.
Officer Roger Heath, Shoreline Police Officer of the Year. Officer Heath is a 32 year veteran who serves as a Traffic Enforcement Officer for the City, and is noted for his strong work ethic and upbeat attitude. His thorough processing of a burglary scene yielded latent fingerprints that were later used to identify and charge a suspect. He also located and chased, first in a car and then on foot a vehicle prowling suspect half his age, and took him into custody. He was able to return stolen property to several students at Kings High School before they even knew their cars had been broken into in the parking lot.
