Why Law Enforcement | I originally got into Law Enforcement by going on a ride along with my cousin who works for Portland PD. It was an eye opening experience filled with excitement and I knew it was something I wanted to do. I then volunteered for the Spokane Police Department for several years which furthered my desire to pursue this career and was eventually hired fill time in 2013. Almost 4 years later I still look forward to coming to work each and every day. |
First Arrest | I do not specifically remember my first arrest, but I believe it was just a warrant arrest during a noise complaint call. |
Best part of the job | The best part of my job is the unknown. You never know what you will be doing when you go to work or even how long you will be at work for. Each and every call is different and a learning experience. I learn something new every day and hope that continues for the rest of my career. |
Hobbies | Outside of work I enjoy to be outdoors. I do a lot of bird hunting, fishing, and hiking. I just got a german short-hair pointer and hope to train her to become a hunting dog, but I’d be happy if she just stopped eating the drywall. |

Name | Dom Calata |
Rank | Deputy |
Agency | Pierce County Sheriff’s Department |
Station/Area Command | South Hill Patrol – Graveyard |
Age | 30 |
From | Spanaway, WA |
Hired | 06/2015 |
Why Law Enforcement | Law enforcement was something I was always interested in doing, so after 7 years on active duty for the US Army, it was a natural choice for me when I was considering getting out of the service. I had a friend working for the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department, which was my number one choice, and after a few ride-alongs, I knew immediately this was the career for me. |
First Arrest | My first arrest was for a traffic offense when I was still in the Field Training Officer program as a new recruit. Although the crime would normally be considered “minor”, it was still exciting for me as a recruit to actually be implementing the things that I learned. I was trained well by the department, so it was smooth with no issues. |
Best part of the job | The best part of my job is getting to work with the team on the graveyard serving the community, and trying to find bad guys. We’re always out there helping people out and trying to catch criminals, and every single day is something different, which keeps every day exciting and fun. |
Hobbies | Being a resident of the northwest, I am really into the outdoors. I do a lot of hiking and camping, I just got into cycling, also do snowboarding in the winter. Basically, anything to get me outdoors, enjoying the beautiful area. |
Favorite Quote | My favorite quote that I use almost every night is, “No good deed goes unpunished.” I see a lot of friends and family members trying to “help” someone close to them, but that person they’re trying to help ends up being a drug-user or a squatter of some sort, eventually causing a nuisance to the person trying to help. |
