Meet Chief Stacy Jepson, Beaverton Police Department
Stacy Jepson grew up in a blended family way back when that wasn’t a thing… or at least it didn’t have a name. If you’re a person of a certain age, think Brady Bunch… kind of. Stacy’s mom and dad each brought 3 kids into their marriage. Then they added two more, a boy, Todd, and a couple of years later, Stacy. The older six were all pretty much of another generation by this time, so growing up it was Stacy and Todd, and they enjoyed a pretty good home life. Stacy had a strong bond with her dad.

A tomboy, living in a neighborhood with mostly boys, what would you expect? Stacy excelled in sports, particularly basketball, softball, and soccer, lettering in high school in all three. Then, as life will do to you, she took a curve ball that she didn’t see coming. Her father passed suddenly from a heart attack, then her mom was diagnosed with cancer. And if that wasn’t enough, another light in her life, her grandfather, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s not long after. Stacy had to grow up fast as she became a caregiver for her mom and grandfather.

Her world turned upside down, suddenly college wasn’t so much on her radar, despite being recruited by some universities with athletic scholarships. She did enroll in a community college and eventually landed at Western Oregon, where a roommate encouraged her to look into law enforcement. That’s when she found her true calling.
