MEET THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE

Deputy Derek Chalmers

Derek grew up in Smithfield, Utah, where he met his amazing wife Rebecca, who has put up with his “shenanigans” for nine years. After graduating from Weber State Police Academy, he accepted a job with Morgan County Sheriff’s office, believing it would be a stepping stone for “bigger and better things.” He quickly fell in love with the incredible and unique little county and instantly knew this was where he wanted to serve and raise his family. He and Rebecca decided the sacrifice of both working full-time jobs to buy a home here was worth it, and they have no regrets. They have lived here for six years and have a five-year-old girl and an eight-month-old boy.

Derek has served Morgan for seven years in numerous assignments, including patrol, Taser Instructor, starting a drone program, restarting the D.A.R.E. Program in the middle schools and serving as the School Resource Officer for three years. Derek continues to invest in Morgan’s amazing youth by helping coach Track and

Field for Morgan High School. His dream is to be remembered as being empathetic, caring, dedicated and fair.
