Sheriff Bergin was elected to replace retiring Clatsop County Sheriff John Raichl. Sheriff Bergin, age 46, has been in Clatsop County law enforcement for nearly 20 years the last 14 with the Clatsop County Sheriff's Office.
He began his law enforcement career working narcotics for the Seaside Police Department before joining the Sheriff's Office. He gained the rank of Chief Deputy a position of second in command of the agency working closely with former Sheriff John Raichl.
Sheriff Bergin sees a great need to continue the law enforcement efforts to combat Methamphetamine manufacture and use. A major key to law enforcement in the county is replacement of the present jail which is inadequate for today's needs. Tom believes that education plays a key roll in preventing crime and drug use. One of his immediate goals is to continue the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program that the sheriff operates in the local grade schools.
Sheriff Bergin lives with his wife and has two children, born and raised in Clatsop County.
"My door will always be open to the people of Clatsop County to help them with their law enforcement need," Bergin said.

Summer, 2010 -- The Clatsop County Sheriff's Office continues to work with the community to keep their homes and neighborhoods safe. We have three new Neighborhood Watch groups meeting to address many issues including identity theft and crime prevention.
Resident Deputies Barbara Odoms and Matt Armstrong completed successful DARE programs with the Knappa and Jewell school districts.
With summer fast approaching, the Marine Patrol is gearing up to make certain the thousands of visitors to the north Oregon coast and the many residents who enjoy the waterways will have a safe and enjoyable summer, reminding them to use the proper safety equipment and to follow all rules and regulations.
On a personal note, in memory of my good friend Chief Dan Duncan, "Dan, thank you for the memories, and may your smile and sense of humor carry all of law enforcement through our toughest of times. Rest in peace my friend." Tom
