Mission

"The Mission of the Coos Bay Police Department is to efficiently provide quality law enforcement services to

our community by promoting a safe environment through a police-citizen partnership with an emphasis on

mutual trust, integrity, fairness and professionalism."

 

Organization & Staff

Police Department staff consists of the Chief of Police; two Captains; four patrol Sergeants; twelve patrol officers; two Detectives; one Narcotics Detective; one Crime Prevention Officer and one School Resource Officer. The Communications Division is made up of one Supervisor and eight Dispatchers. Support staff includes one Supervisor, one Records Specialist; one part-time Records Specialist, one Civilian Police Assistant, one part-time Evidence Custodian and numerous volunteers.

The School Resource Officer (SRO) is assigned full time to the Coos Bay Schools working with teachers, parents and students.

The Detectives handle major crime investigations and are member of the Coos County District Attorney’s Major Incident Team.  One Detective is assigned to the South Coast Interagency Narcotics Team (SCINT).

The Patrol Division provides twenty four hour a day, seven days a week, emergency response throughout the City. These officers are divided into four platoons and provide traditional police duties, as well as crime prevention and community problem solving services.

The Communications Division is one of Coos County’s two 9-1-1 Centers and provides police, fire and emergency medical dispatch for Coos Bay Police and Fire Departments, Coquille Tribal Police and Coquille City Police and Fire Departments.

The Support Services Division provides state and federal mandated archival record keeping duties, statistical analysis and dissemination of information.  Staff assigned to Support Services works closely with the Courts, District Attorney’s Office and other law enforcement and public agencies to ensure information is collected and disseminated in accordance with State statutory requirements. 

The Department’s Volunteer Group is made up of Reserve Police Officers and civilian volunteers.   Typical duties range from working with sworn Police Officers on patrol, to enforcing Disabled Parking rules and regulations in the special parking districts throughout the City and through a cooperative agreement in the City of North Bend.

Our agency continuously reviews the way we deploy resources to increase our ability to respond to community needs and advance the use of technology to enhance our efficiency and effectiveness. 

 

However, technology can never replace the value that you, as citizens, have in sharing information with your local law enforcement officers. 

I want to invite you to become our “partner”, in the fight against crime and making Coos Bay a safe place to live, work and visit.  Together we can make a difference.
