City of North Bend release -   The North Bend Police Department has added a new patrol officer to its ranks with the swearing-in of Chayse Sattler, a U.S. Coast Guard veteran and former reserve deputy with the Coos County Sheriff’s Office.  Sattler was sworn in Tuesday by Chief of Police Cal Mitts during a brief ceremony at the police department.  “Officer Sattler brings with him an impressive record of service and leadership,” Mitts said. “His experience in the Coast Guard and with the Sheriff’s Office will serve him well as he begins his law enforcement career in North Bend.”  A native of Newberg, Oregon, Sattler joined the Coast Guard seeking life experience and opportunities to help others. His first assignment was aboard the Cutter Munro, homeported in Kodiak, Alaska. He later attended Boatswain’s Mate “A” School and received orders to Station Grand Haven, Michigan.  While in Michigan, Sattler earned certifications as a basic coxswain on the 47-foot motor lifeboat, boarding officer, ice rescuer and Officer of the Day. In 2020, he was selected for the Surfman program and transferred to Station Umpqua River, where he earned his designation as Surfman No. 583 on the national registry. He also served as the station’s deck department supervisor, overseeing critical vessel maintenance and training.  “His Surfman certification reflects exceptional skill, discipline and dedication to duty,” Mitts said. “That same commitment will be a great asset to our department and our community.”  Sattler is scheduled to attend the police academy before returning to North Bend for field training. In his free time, he enjoys riding the dunes, hunting, snowboarding and spending time with friends and family.  “We’re proud to welcome Officer Sattler to our team,” Mitts said. “We look forward to seeing the positive impact he’ll have here in North Bend.”
