SUNRIVER, OR -- Sunriver’s Police Chief will retire at the end of this month. Chief Cory Darling (pictured above/left) has been with the department four years, and in law enforcement for 34 years, in total. “Being the Chief of Sunriver was a great way to wrap up a career," Darling said in a statement, "I have accomplished everything I wanted to accomplish in Sunriver and now it’s time to turn it over to the next generation of law enforcement executives.”
The Sunriver Service District Board unanimously voted Thursday to appoint Michael Womer (pictured below) as chief, effective September first. “I have had the tremendous opportunity to be mentored by Chief Darling, who is an exceptional leader and friend,” said Womer in a statement. “I look forward to taking on the new challenges that come with the position of Police Chief. I am honored and humbled by this opportunity, and grateful for the trust and confidence placed in me by the SSD Board, community members, and amazing Officers of the Sunriver Police Department.”
Womer has over 28 years of law enforcement experience, getting his start at the Washington County Sheriff's Office. He's been with Sunriver PD since 2014.
