TRINITY JACKSON TAKES OATH OF OFFICE  
  
On Monday, November 2nd, 2026, Trinity Jackson proudly took her Oath of Office as a 911 Dispatcher, sworn in by Chief Chris Chapanar.   
  
Trinity comes to us from Reedsport, where she currently resides with her family. She grew up in Las Vegas with her adoptive parents and five siblings.  She graduated from Reedsport High school in 2025.  During high school she also completed a year of classes through SWOCC, focusing on communication and completing coursework to become a caregiver. She has worked as a caregiver for Premier Community Supports and also coaches volleyball for OSAA.   
  
Throughout the hiring process, Trinity was consistently noted for having a strong work ethic and an eagerness to learn. Although Trinity is new to dispatch, she has aspired to become a dispatcher for the past eight years, inspired by her aunt, who retired as a dispatcher from the Las Vegas Metro Police. She brings that longstanding passion to her new role. We’re excited to welcome Trinity to the Coos Bay Police Department and the North Coos Dispatch team. Featured News by City of Coos Bay

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  
  
Wildfire Mitigation at John Topits Park  
November 9, 2026 - Over the next few weeks, the City of Coos Bay’s defensible space project will continue at John Topits Park. The Coos Forest Protective Association (CFPA) will lead this phase of work to remove excessive brush in an effort to reduce the chance that a wildfire spreads through the park or into nearby neighborhoods.  
CFPA crews will thin dense underbrush along the park’s perimeter and in selected areas within the park. Removing some of this vegetation breaks up the fuel a wildfire can use to spread, helping protect the park and nearby homes.  
Crews will dispose of the cut brush in small, controlled piles when weather and smoke dispersal conditions are favorable. Burning removes the cut material that could otherwise fuel a wildfire, and some nutrients from the ash can return to the soil. Residents may see smoke and flames during this planned work. CFPA will manage the burns, and the Coos Bay Fire Department will monitor the work closely.  
If you visit the park, expect extra crew and equipment traffic. Please give crews room to work and follow any posted signs. If you see fire spreading beyond a burn pile or believe there is an emergency, call 911.  
Thank you for your patience while crews work to protect John Topits Park and the neighborhoods around it. For project questions, call the Coos Bay Public Works at 541-269-8918 Featured News by City of Coos Bay

11/9/26 - LCSO #26-5533 – Sheriff's Office asks for public’s help locating Missing Person   
  
On November 8th at about 8:00 pm, the Lane County Sheriff’s Office was notified of a missing subject being reported from the 100 block of Lynwood Drive in Eugene. A friend called in reporting 73-year-old Reed Clifton Dehaven left his residence at about 8:30 am and had not returned. Deputies responded and continue to work leads on this case.   
  
Dehaven has cognitive issues as well as several major medical concerns and he does not have any of his medication with him.  He frequently uses public transportation and LCSO is already in contact with LTD for video surveillance footage from other bus stops.     
  
Dehaven is a white male who stands about 5’7” tall and weighs around 210 pounds.  His hair is white, but he is balding, and he has blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a black leather jacket, a blue collared shirt, blue jeans and a tan fedora style hat.  Dehaven had with him a blue backpack, and a floral lanyard.   
  
The Lane County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in locating Dehaven. Anyone with information concerning his whereabouts or this case is asked to call LCSO at 541-682-4150.Photos from Lane County Sheriff's Office's post Featured News by Lane County Sheriff
