Astoria swears in new police chief
Stacy Kelly, Astoria’s new police chief, was
sworn in Tuesday during a ceremony at City Hall.
Kelly has more than 20 years of experience in
law enforcement, which includes serving as the
assistant police chief for the Newport News Police
Department in Virginia. He replaces former Police
Chief Geoff Spalding, who retired from the role in
April after leading the department since 2017.
Deputy Chief Eric Halverson has served as the
police department’s interim chief.
“It’s such an honor to have been selected for this
position,” Kelly said. “Chief Spalding has left the
agency in a really good place. I’m looking forward
to working with the men and women of the depart-
ment and see where we go from here.”
Kelly also took the opportunity to recognize
Halverson’s leadership during the interim.
“A lot of interim chiefs, they come in and they
just maintain the status quo,” he said. “He has
really kept the department moving forward, kept
the morale up during this time, so I think he really
deserves some acknowledgment and thanks.”
Rohne chosen as new president
of Port of Astoria Commission
In Brief
The Port of Astoria Commission voted Tuesday to
elect Dirk Rohne as the new commission president,
