EPHRATA – The Ephrata Police Department is unable to export a police blotter, according to EPD Records Manager Elizabeth Judkins. 

“We are back in our new law enforcement database system, and currently, we cannot provide a blotter. Hopefully, we will be able to provide the blotter soon,” Judkins wrote in an email to the Columbia Basin Herald. 

The department, as soon as it is able, said it would return to sending out the information.
