Sen. Lovick seeks to add more police academy sites to help solve bottleneck in getting cadets through training and into action State Sen. John Lovick is seeking state funding to solve a police shortage by creating additional law enforcement training centers. Lovick (D-Mill Creek), who was a state trooper for 31 years and a prior Snohomish County sheriff, said that alleviating training bottlenecks will help with the staffing shortage. 'Every agency is short-staffed, and they can't train enough officers at the current training site, which is in Burien,' Lovick said.
