Port Orchard Judge Sworn In as new Kitsap District Court Commissioner
PORT ORCHARD, Wash. – Kitsap County is pleased to announce the appointment of a new District Court Commissioner.
Commissioner Timothy Drury was selected for his extensive legal experience and unwavering commitment to justice and community safety. Drury's distinguished legal career spans nearly three decades in Kitsap County. He spent 24 years with the Kitsap County Prosecutor's Office, three years in private practice focusing on criminal defense, and has served as a Municipal Court Judge for the City of Port Orchard since January 2018.
As Municipal Court Judge, Drury has emphasized the importance of public awareness and prevention in maintaining a strong justice system that serves all citizens.
"Tim's broad experience in both prosecution and defense, combined with his judicial experience, provides him with a comprehensive understanding of the legal system that will serve him well in his new role as District Court Commissioner," said District Court Administrator Robyn Dunham.
Drury was sworn in during a ceremony in late January. This position was approved by the Board of Commissioners during the budgeting process in December to provide additional support to the County's courts system.
"The addition of Commissioner Drury reflects an ongoing commitment to ensuring efficient and effective administration of justice for the residents of Kitsap County," said Chair of the Kitsap County Board of Commissioners Christine Rolfes.
