    Mayor Jon Nehring appointed Erik Scairpon as the ninth Chief of Police
    for the City of Marysville, WA, on September 21, 2020. The Vision of the
    Marysville Police Department is "Service with Honor." Scairpon serves as

    PD has an annual budget of over $24 million, supporting 80
    commissioned police officers, 25 custody officers running a correctional
    facility, and 27 professional staff. He works to build public trust and value
    employees, practice dispersed ethical leadership, help communities
    recover from mass violence incidents, and meet under-served crime
    victims' needs.

    Department overseeing the Operations division. Since 1998, Scairpon
    rose through the ranks working in various roles with the Redmond Police
    Department. Erik Scairpon attended the Police Executive Research
    Forum's Senior Management Institute for Police. He earned a master's
    degree in Organizational Leadership from Saint Mary's University of
    Minnesota and holds a bachelor's degree in Sociology from the University
    of Washington.

    In 2021, Chief Scairpon was appointed by the Governor of Washington to

    Training Academy. Scairpon volunteers his time with Victim Support
    Services, a statewide crime victim’s advocacy, education, and awareness
    non-profit, and participates as a regional leader in the Special Olympics
    Washington Law Enforcement Torch Run.
