Meet the Owner
After more than 15 years of dedicated service, we would like to announce the retirement of Deputy Darrell Norton, effective, Wednesday, June 4, 2025.
Darrell’s career with our agency began in July 2009 when he joined as a Reserve Deputy. Just two months later, he transitioned to a full-time deputy in September of that same year.
For the first few years of his career, Darrell worked primarily out of the north county office. In 2015, he was selected to serve as a Marine Deputy. For the past decade, Darrell has been a familiar presence on the waterways of Douglas County. Additionally, Darrell has made valuable contributions to the education of local children and the public through school events and community functions.
Additionally, Darrell served our country in the United States Navy.
Darrell's hard work, dedication, and commitment has left an impact on this community. We are grateful for his years of service. As he enters this next chapter of his life, we wish him nothing but the best in his well-deserved retirement.
Thank you, Darrell, for your service!Photos from Douglas County Sheriff's Office's post

In 2010 he was hired in Harney County as a Patrol Deputy. In 2015 he was appointed Sheriff of Harney County. He was then elected to the office in 2016. He served as Sheriff until 2020, when he resigned and was hired as a patrol deputy with our agency that same year. He has worked the last 5 years in our North County and Reedsport offices, as well as serving as a Search & Rescue Deputy with our agency.
In addition to his law enforcement career, Dave’s service began with service to our country. He joined the United States Army at the age of 18. He served combat tours in Somalia and Afghanistan. At his retirement from the military in 2013, he had more than 21 years of combined service between the United States Army, Oregon Army National Guard and the United States Army Reserves.
For the last three years Dave has served as a school board member for the North Douglas School District.

In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation designating every May 15th as Peace Officer Memorial Day and the week in which it falls, National Police Week.
Across the United States, ceremonies are held to remember those serving in law enforcement who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office will host a local Peace Officer Memorial Ceremony on the front lawn of the Courthouse to pay tribute to the six Douglas County law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty:
Officer Donald DeSues - Roseburg Police Department - EOW August 7, 1959
Sp. Deputy Ronald H. Terwilliger - Douglas County Sheriff's Office - EOW July 23, 1985
Corporal Virgle D. Knight Jr. - Douglas County Sheriff's Office - EOW July 23, 1985
Sergeant Gerald G. Chirrick - Douglas County Sheriff's Office - EOW July 23, 1985
Deputy Morris L. Taylor - Douglas County Sheriff's Office - EOW September 14, 2002
Deputy S. Allen Burdic - Douglas County Sheriff's Office - EOW March 11, 2021
The ceremony, which will be held on Thursday, May 15, 2025, at 9:00 am, is open to members of the community who wish to pay remembrance to the fallen and their families. The tribute will include a proclamation reading by the Douglas County Board of Commissioners, a police honor guard, wreath laying ceremony, bagpipes, a 21-gun salute and a county-wide radio broadcast.Photos from Douglas County Sheriff's Office's post
