Herriman Police Chief Troy Carr Announces Retirement

Herriman City Police Chief Troy Carr has announced his retirement, effective March 1, after more than 34 years in law enforcement and leading the formation and growth of the Herriman Police Department since its creation in 2018.

Chief Carr was sworn in on June 6, 2018, as Herriman’s first police chief and led the stand-up of the City’s new police department, which began its first patrol on September 30, 2018. In an ambitious four-month period, he guided the development of the department’s operations, staffing, and service model.

“I’m proud of what we’ve created here together,” Carr said. “I am grateful for the men and women I have served with throughout my career, and especially for the team who built this department from the ground up. The success of the Herriman Police Department comes from the professionalism and commitment of our people.” 

“Chief Carr helped establish a strong culture of professionalism and public trust that continues to define a Herriman Police Department that the community is proud of,” Herriman Mayor Lorin Palmer said. “His leadership shaped how the department operates and how it connects with residents. His impact will be felt for years to come.”

“Chief Carr is an outstanding leader who led the creation of a high-performing organization and helped establish a thoughtful, data-driven approach to policing,” said City Manager Nathan Cherpeski. “His leadership showed a commitment to transparency, professional excellence, and responsible stewardship of public resources.”

Deputy Chief Cody Stromberg will serve as the department’s interim chief while the City proceeds with the selection of a permanent chief in the coming weeks.
