Mike Reese will bring more than 30 years of experience, including time as Portland police chief and Multnomah County sheriff, as the new director of the Oregon Department of Corrections.
Gov. Tina Kotek announced his appointment on Tuesday, Oct. 24. The agency has been without a permanent director since August 2022, when Colette Peters was named director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons within the U.S. Department of Justice. Peters had held her state position for a decade, and outgoing Gov. Kate Brown left the vacancy to her successor.
