KPTZ’s Taylor Clark and Port Townsend City Manager John Mauro were joined by AJ Feit, who is the PT Police Department’s Navigator, and whose job is to connect with people who may be overwhelmed or in distress and to help them ‘navigate’ the system. He is part of the police department, but is not an armed or uniformed officer. He is a trained mental health professional and a good one. He has been with the city since October 2025. The position is funded (in part) by a grant from WASPC (Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs.
