(Salem, OR) - Feb. 25, 2021, Trevor Womack became Salem’s Police Chief in December after retiring as the Deputy Chief in Stockton, California. He grew up in Stockton and spent 29 years in its police department. He replaces Jerry Moore, whose career in law enforcement spanned forty-four years, including fifteen years as Salem's police chief.
Salem’s City Manager said Womack was chosen because of his experience leading a police department comparable in size to Salem, his specific vision for engaging with all communities in Salem, his passion for service, and his strong desire to be here. He comes to a department of 247 employees, including 190 sworn officers, and an annual budget of $50 million. He hopes to make Salem's police department a leader in “21st century policing.”
