Police Call Response Map

We have created a tool with which you can see on a map where we have had calls for service. This tool does not include sensitive calls like domestic disturbances, sex crimes, suicides, etc. The map can be filtered to show all available call data or any combination of the included data, and the map is interactive. You can also select a date range to see more specific data as well. We believe this tool can help residents and others to understand the types of calls for service reported to the police in our community and to be aware of the types of incidents happening in their neighborhood.

There are instructions on the left side of the page (in the "Home" tab) for interacting with the map and for making queries.

To view the map, you can click on this link.

Police Public Records Request

To submit a request, please complete this online form.

Per state law, the City will follow response timelines set forth under ORS Ch. 192. Within five business days City staff will acknowledge receipt of your records request and advise of the custody status of the requested public record. If it is estimated that the fee to locate and make the records available for inspection and/or copying will exceed $25, you will be advised and a deposit of the estimated fee will be required before City records are searched and/or photocopied. No later than ten business days after the date the request is acknowledged by staff or the deposit, if required, is paid, whichever occurs later, City staff will complete its response to the public records request or provide a written statement that the City is still processing the request, along with a reasonable estimated date by which City staff expects to complete its response.

If any portion of the requested materials are not provided or are redacted, the requester may seek review of the City’s determination pursuant to ORS 192.450, 192.460, 192.465, 192.480 and 192.490.
