Bill Terway was appointed in September of last year as Chief of Police for the City of Estacada. He began his law enforcement career in 1999 and has served with multiple agencies before joining the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office in 2007. His experience includes assignments as a Deputy Sheriff, Homicide Detective, Patrol Sergeant, Detective Sergeant, and promotion to Lieutenant in 2021.
Estacada contracts police services through the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office, where Chief Terway also oversees several specialized units, including Search and Rescue, Marine Patrol, Air Support, and federal contract operations—roles that require significant interagency coordination.
The OACP recognizes Bill on his appointment and, though belated, extends its sincere congratulations and best wishes for continued success in his leadership.
