Cedar City swears in promoted officers and new hires to backfill retirements
Summary
Chief Darren Adams introduced promotions and new officers to the Cedar City Police Department, including promoted Stenson Bergstrom, promoted Evan Pettit, and new officers Shelby McDonald, Manuel Ranger and Avery Shumway, who were sworn in and introduced to council and family.
Chief Darren Adams told the council the department carried out promotions and hires to backfill vacancies following Sergeant Nate Williams' retirement. He announced the promotion of Stenson Bergstrom and corporal promotion of Evan Pettit and introduced three new officers: Shelby McDonald, Manuel (Manny) Ranger and Avery Shumway. Each officer introduced themselves and their family members; the council and mayor took photographs and the officers were sworn in.
Adams said the appointments reflect internal backfilling after retirement and noted the department's interest in maintaining continuity of service. New officers described prior service and local connections; Shelby McDonald said she previously worked in law enforcement since 2018 and had attended Southern Utah University while living in Cedar City. Council members congratulated the officers.
