Cannon Beach swears in new Police Chief Rob Schulz

On Tuesday June 11th, 2024, during the City Council work session Mayor Barb Knop swore in the new Cannon Beach Police Chief Robert Schulz.

Rob Schulz comes most recently from Black Butte Ranch, in central Oregon, where he was a Sergeant. Prior to his 13 years in Black Butte, Rob lived in Cannon Beach for 18 years and spent his final 12 years with the Cannon Beach Police Department moving up the ranks from officer to Lieutenant.

Prior to his law enforcement career, Rob was an Executive Chef at the Stephanie Inn and assistant Chef at the Wayfarer Restaurant.

Rob was a member of the Cannon Beach Fire and Rescue for 17 years as well as Sisters-Camp Sherman Fire District for 5 years as a Firefighter / EMT.

Most recently he was the Vice President of the Sisters-Camp Sherman Fire District board. He also was a member of Sisters Kiwanis for about 5 years.

Rob expressed his gratitude to be able to return “home” to Cannon Beach. He will be joined by his wife, Christina, three dogs and three cats.

Chief Jason Schermerhorn will be assisting with the transition and then retiring in August.
