Detective Bob Herst
Bellevue Police Department

Detective Bob Herst began his Law Enforcement career with the San Diego Sheriff’s Department in 1976. In 1982 he was hired by the Bellevue Police Department. While working in the Patrol Division, he has been a Hostage Negotiator and a Field Training Officer, training new police officers. He was also assigned to the Eastside Multi-agency Narcotics Task Force, working undercover investigations.

He has been assigned to the Fraud Unit of the Investigative section of the Police Department, since 1997. His duties include the investigation of all aspects of “fraud”, which encompasses counterfeit checks and credit cards, checks written on closed bank accounts, identity theft, internal employee theft, embezzlement, and prescription forgery. The largest case he investigated with successful prosecution, involved a Bellevue victim and suspect with a documented loss of 4.2 million dollars, and is currently the largest embezzlement case to be prosecuted in King County to date.

Detective Herst is a member of the Northwest Fraud Investigators Association, Pacific Northwest Tax & License Association, and the Western Association of Eastern European Organized Crime Investigators of Canada, Oregon, and Washington.

Survey Results
President Katherine Thompson

I received 107 responses to the survey, and we used them to frame the discussion at our Strategic Plan Retreat. The results do not reflect responses submitted after the cut-off date of May 10.

The "Score" is the average of the responses, with "Strongly Disagree" given a weight of 1 and "Strongly Agree" given a weight of 5. Those responses that had an average score of 3 or close to 3 were the focus in our discussion, because there was clearly no consensus in the survey results on those topics. To see the survey results, please click here (PDF file). This file is located in the Members Only area, so you will need your user information.

The survey is still available, both online and at our luncheon meetings. Additional responses will be tabulated and added to the results.

One response per member, please!

Golf Event at Trilogy
By Brad Hunt

The golf event is a go as we have 24 members who expressed interest in playing. Our first starting time is at 1:30 on June 6th at Trilogy, and the cost is $85 for balls, cart, food and golf. We will be playing a "Shamble" format just like last fall.

Larry Abner and I will be making up the pairing in about 2 weeks, based on handicaps and/or average scores. However, in order to make the teams as fair as possible, I need you to send me your index and/or handicap or average scores ASAP.

If you are one of the 24 people who have expressed an interest in playing and have decided NOT to play, please let me know ASAP, as I will be having Lori bill you the $85.00 fee. If you are wanting to play please let me know ASAP, as we only have 28 spots and they will be filled on a first come first serve.

Contact Brad Hunt about this event!

Help us out!
