City Welcomes New Contract Deputy Bill Ovchinnikov

Marion County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) Deputy Bill Ovchinnikov has started his new assignment as the City of Aurora contract deputy.

 Ovchinnikov has been with MCSO since 2012, holding a variety of positions during that time.

He grew up in southwestern Clackamas County on a family farm and currently resides in Marion County with his wife and children. Their free time is spent outdoors, hunting, fishing, kayaking, hiking and, most recently, running and jogging.

Ovchinnikov said he plans to pick up where Sr. Deputy Mike Bell left off, and hopes to continue to provide the same, high level of public service to all those that call Aurora home.
