A Fond Farewell: Honoring Chief Robl

Last night, surrounded by family and colleagues, Mayor Lord honored Police Chief Mark Robl with a mayoral proclamation — and it was a moment well deserved. Chief Robl retires on March 19, 2026, after 40 years of service to the City of Homer, 26 of those as Police Chief — making him the longest-serving police chief in Alaska. We agree with Mayor Lord's words: "Homer is undeniably fortunate to be the community he met that milestone with."
