The Detective Unit of the Oregon City Police Department is responsible for the investigation of crimes committed within the City. The Unit is responsible for preparing cases to present to the District Attorney's Office for prosecution.   The Oregon City Detective Unit is comprised of a detective sergeant and four detectives. The Detective Sergeant is responsible for reviewing cases sent to the Unit from patrol and assigning those cases to individual detectives. Detectives are on a one-week on-call rotation and are available to respond immediately to the scene of a crime at the request of a supervisor.  

The Detective Unit's main objective is to work hand-in-hand with the Patrol Unit to identify and apprehend criminal offenders, with special emphasis on the investigation of major crimes. Through this cooperation, both units operate efficiently to apprehend offenders and resolve cases. Patrol officers' reports/investigations are coupled with those produced in the Detective Unit and are subsequently presented to the District Attorney's Office.  

The Detective Unit is interested in any information regarding possible drug houses in the Oregon City area. If you know of any possible drug houses or drug activity occurring at a particular location please contact Det. Sgt. Band at 503-657-4964, or by email  jband@ci.oregon-city.or.us
