New Officer: Vitani Harrison

Scotts Valley Police Department has a newly sworn-in officer on duty, Vitani Harrison. He recently graduated from the Monterey Peninsula College Police Academy.

He shared this with Scotts Valley Times:

Ihavelived all over the Bay Area in cities such as Alameda, Oakland, Hayward, and San Ramon.

I graduated from Alameda High School in 2016. After graduation, I went to Cabrillo College and played football there for 2 years before transferring to Cal State East Bay in 2019.

While attending Cabrillo, I met my long-time partner, Ashley, who was in my statistics class, and I have been with her for the past 5 years.

I used to coach high school football in my free time, which is a passion of mine.

I worked for Admiral Security Services for four years doing building patrols, as well as standing posts for corporate buildings.

Some of my hobbies include kayaking, weightlifting, and studying wars from the past.

Harrison added: “I am excited to work with you all in my new role and make some great memories.”
