Welcome … 

from Chief Gordon L. Huiras

On behalf of the dedicated men and women of the Oregon City Police Department, I welcome you to our web site. I hope you will find the information presented is a valuable resource in your search for information about our department and community.

The Oregon City Police Department is comprised of 33 sworn officers, 7 civilian employees, and the volunteer officers of the Police Reserve Unit, who are committed to providing quality public safety services to our unique community.

Our department is committed to the philosophy of Community Oriented Policing. By developing community partnerships, our department and community become empowered to solve problems and seek creative solutions. We feel that through involvement and visibility in our community, we are better able to adapt and respond to changing community needs.

The members of our department believe it is important to be a positive influence in our community, to lead by example, and to be a role model for our youth.

As the first police department west of the Rockies, we are proud of our more than 150 years of service to our community, and are prepared to provide for its safety in the future.

I invite you to contact us with any comments, questions, or suggestions. I thank you for your continued support and look forward to working together to maintain a safe and livable city for all to enjoy.

Gordon L. Huiras
Chief of Police
