MADRAS CITY COUNCIL APPROVES NEW INTERIM DIRECTOR OF POLICE SERVICES
Date: March 1, 2023 – Immediate Release
Contact: Charo Miller, HR & Administrative Director 541-325-0312
Madras, OR – At their February 28th meeting, the Madras City Council authorized the appointment of a new Interim Director of Police Services after the contract for Interim Director, Steve Bartol, expired on February 24th. The new Interim Director, Tim Plummer, will retire from Oregon State Police (OSP) on March 24th and has over 30 years professional experience in public safety ranging from patrol work to training/education and administrative services. In his current position with OSP, Sgt. Plummer is the State Coordinator for the Drug Recognition Expert program for all Oregon law enforcement officers. He is also the chairperson for the Impaired Driving Curriculum work group for the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Technical Advisory Panel, an adjunct instructor for the Department of Safety and Standards Training and represents the Drug Recognition Expert program for 14 western states and Guam on the IACP.
“Director Bartol was exceptional in helping the staff and officers of Madras PD navigate through a difficult time the past six months. With his wide range of experience, we feel Sgt. Plummer will carry on that same exceptional service for our police department and community,” stated HR Director Charo Miller.
Sgt. Plummer’s first day as Interim Director will be March 27th and he will be available to serve until a Police Chief is hired. “Until Director Plummer is onboard, Sgts. Webb and Elder will handle the day-to-day business of the police department,” stated City Administrator Gus Burril. “Madras PD, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and OSP have worked well together for many years assisting each other on calls and that assistance will continue,” stated Sgt. Steve Webb.
“I can’t say enough about the professionalism of our police department staff and officers. Their commitment to their jobs and this community have been exemplary. Something the entire community of Madras can be proud of,” stated Mayor Mike Lepin.
Madras PD is currently seeking certified lateral police officers and reserve officers. If you’re interested in an opportunity with Madras Police Department, visit www.ci.madras.or.us.
