A little over a week after officially becoming the interim chief of police for the city’s police department, Michael Cochran was officially sworn in as the interim chief Tuesday night in front of family, friends, and city council by City Judge Jay Cranmer.
Cochran previously worked for the Moffat County Sheriff’s Office as the Emergency Management Coordinator before coming over to the police department once again, having previously worked as a Craig detective from October 2018 to January 2020.
Following Cochran’s official swearing in, City Manager Peter Brixius stated that the city is pleased to have Cochran in this new role for the department.

Following the loss of Mike Cochran to the city of Craig’s police department as interim chief of police, the Moffat County Sheriff’s Office appointed Sgt. Todd Wheeler as the new Emergency Management Coordinator in early March.
Wheeler slides over into his new role as EMC for the Sheriff’s Office from the patrol division. Wheeler first started with the Sheriff’s Office on July 1, 2001.
“The entire goal of filling the position of Emergency Management Coordinator was to not lose any of the momentum we’ve realized over the last year with Mike Cochran in that position,” Sheriff KC Hume said. “I think Todd will pick up and continue to do a phenomenal job serving the Moffat County community through the Sheriff’s Office.”
