CHEHALIS – The sheriff and the prosecutor have set aside an evening to talk with citizens, answer their questions and listen to their concerns.

It takes place next month in Toledo, as part of their series of town meetings around Lewis County.
Lewis County Sheriff Rob Snaza and Prosecutor Jonathan Meyer conducted their first such gathering in March in Salkum.
Meyer called the first meeting successful and indicated he enjoyed it.
“Transparency in the prosecutor’s office is important and I am happy to share our successes and challenges with the public we serve,” he stated in a news release.
Snaza called it a great opportunity to have a conversation with citizens.
“Partnering together to address community issues is paramount to keeping Lewis County a safe place to live,” Snaza stated.

The two elected officials plan to continue with similar meetings in various other communities around the county throughout the year.
Snaza, who is just beginning a four-year term, is introducing himself and his office to the people in other ways as well.
Earlier this month, he hosted what he called “A day in the life of the sheriff’s office” by inviting 10 people to spend a Saturday touring his facilities, and engaging in hands-on activities such as lifting fingerprints and participating in a shoot-don’t shoot simulation.
