Sherwood police announce retirements and promotions, hosts multi-agency training
Summary
Sherwood police announced the upcoming retirement of Capt. John Carlson and other staffing changes, named promotions effective Nov. 19 and described recent multi-agency taser training hosted at Sherwood facilities.
Sherwood police briefed the board on personnel changes and training events as part of regular updates.
City staff announced Capt. John Carlson will retire Nov. 7 and Hector Rodriguez will retire at the end of the year. The department has extended a job offer to an outside candidate and plans promotions: Ben Humphrey to be promoted on Nov. 19 and Nathan Powell to fill a captain position. The department also reported recruits in the academy and expected return-to-duty timelines for new hires.
Training: The city hosted a two-day "train the trainer" taser course with multiple agencies attending, according to staff. The chief thanked staff for accommodating outside agencies and highlighted the value of regional training hosted in Sherwood.
Why it matters: Staffing changes and planned promotions aim to mitigate upcoming gaps and sustain patrol capacity; hosted training supports interagency readiness and cost-effective use of city facilities. No budget details were provided for recruitment or promotion costs.
