ROSEBURG, Ore. - The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is proud to announce several awards and recognitions presented during the month of December to staff members whose service, leadership, and actions exemplify the highest standards of public safety and professionalism.
Lieutenant Kelley Bean was honored by the Oregon State Sheriffs’ Association (OSSA) as Enforcement Commander of the Year. Lt. Bean has served the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office since 1998 and currently serves as the Investigations Lieutenant. In this role, he oversees major crimes investigations, medical examiner investigators, and administrative support functions. His leadership, attention to detail, and commitment to professional development have contributed to effective case management, strong collaboration with the District Attorney’s Office, and successful investigative outcomes. Lt. Bean’s career reflects consistent dedication to mentorship, training, and operational excellence.
Deanna Stone, Civil Process Clerk with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, was awarded OSSA’s Civil Support Staff of the Year. As the agency’s sole civil clerk, Deanna plays a critical role in maintaining daily operations and public service. She routinely supports the Records Clerks and front office functions and demonstrated exceptional dedication during a period of reduced staffing by assuming additional responsibilities to ensure uninterrupted service. Additionally, she serves the community as a Douglas County Search and Rescue volunteer. Her professionalism, reliability, and commitment to teamwork exemplify the vital role support staff play in the success of the agency.
In addition to the statewide OSSA awards, Sheriff John Hanlin presented Deputy Jake Littrell with a Lifesaving Award for his actions during a water rescue on November 22, 2025, at Tahkenitch Lake. Deputy Littrell responded to an overturned boat and located an individual still in the water, exhausted and without a life jacket. Acting quickly and without immediate assistance, he used a paddle boat to reach the individual, while in full duty gear, to bring them safely to shore. His decisive actions prevented a likely drowning and demonstrated courage, sound judgment, and dedication to preserving life.
“These awards represent the professionalism, dedication, and service-oriented mindset of our staff,” said Sheriff John Hanlin. “Each of these individuals goes above and beyond in their roles, and we are proud to recognize their contributions to our agency and our community.”

DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ore. – The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate the disappearance of a Christmas Valley man whose vehicle was previously located abandoned in the Elliott State Forest, and investigators are again asking for the public’s assistance.
Since the initial report, Douglas County Search and Rescue, along with teams from Josephine, Jackson, Siskiyou, and Klamath Counties have conducted supplemental searches in and around the area where the vehicle was found. Those efforts did not reveal any additional information or result in locating 61-year-old Robert Cotter.
The investigation remains ongoing, and deputies continue to follow up on leads and information related to Cotter’s disappearance. Cotter was last seen on November 2, 2025, and his white 2002 Ford utility pickup was discovered unoccupied on November 30, 2025, on an unmaintained roadway in the Elliott State Forest near Loon Lake.
The Sheriff’s Office is again asking anyone who may have seen Cotter, had contact with him, or observed his vehicle after November 2nd to come forward. Even information that may seem minor could be helpful to the investigation. Please call (541) 440-4471 and reference Douglas County Sheriff’s Office case #25-4113.
In addition to the agencies listed above, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office has received investigative assistance from the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
