Description
Message from the Law Enforcement Council of Washington County |
As public safety leaders in Washington County, we stand firmly with the belief that every person deserves safety, dignity, and equal access to justice. Our community is made stronger when every resident, regardless of immigration status, country of origin, language, or documentation, feels safe seeking help and reporting crime. Protecting the rights and safety of all people is at the core of our mission.
Our role has not changed. We enforce state and local laws, not federal immigration policies. We do not collaborate with ICE, we do not participate in federal immigration enforcement, and we do not ask questions about immigration status. Oregon has been a Sanctuary State for nearly 40 years, and we are committed to upholding both the law and the values behind it: fairness, inclusion, and community trust.
No one should live in fear of calling the police. When people are afraid to report crimes or testify because they worry about immigration consequences, our entire community becomes less safe, and the people who commit harm are empowered. Safety depends on trust, and trust requires that all victims and witnesses can rely on us without hesitation.
If you need help, we are here for you. In an emergency, call 911. For non-emergencies in Washington County, call 503-629-0111. We will respond with the same care and professionalism whether you are a citizen of the United States or a member of our community from anywhere else in the world.
We are proud to serve a diverse community, and we will continue to protect the rights and humanity of every person who calls Washington County home.
