This area is truly a hidden gem in the heart of Oregon’s growing and vibrant wine country. Come explore the natural beauty of the area – we are close to the beaches of Oregon, the slopes of Mt. Hood, the limitless hiking trails, and abundant fishing holes. Enjoy an abundance of local restaurants, shopping, wine tasting, and cultural & community events in our area. If you prefer the big-city experience, it is less than an hour to Portland, which offers a wealth of entertainment, festivals, live music, and professional sporting events.
While we are located relatively close to Portland, we are not Portland. Community members, civic leaders, and law enforcement enjoy a climate of partnership and support as we serve our roughly 33,000 residents. Our administration encourages proactive, thorough police work, while we support you with relevant training tailored to modern-day policing. We strive to provide cutting-edge technology, equipment, and data systems to give you the tools that you need to do your job safely and effectively. Officers enjoy a fair balance between self-initiated activity and calls for service. We expect our Officers to be visible, responsive to the needs of the community, and provide excellent customer service.
