Police Organization & Staff

The Coos Bay Police Department staff currently consists of the Chief of Police, two Captains, four Patrol Sergeants, twelve Patrol Officers, two Criminal Detectives, one School Resource Officer, and one Community Resource Officer. The Communications Unit is comprised of two Dispatch Supervisors and eleven Dispatchers. Support staff includes one Records Supervisor, two Records Specialists, one part-time Evidence Custodian, a part time Community Service Officer, and numerous volunteers.

The Criminal Detectives handle major crime investigations and are members of the Coos County Major Incident Team.

The Patrol Unit provides emergency response throughout the city 24 hour a day, seven days a week. These officers are divided into four platoons and provide traditional police duties, as well as crime prevention and community problem solving services.

The School Resource Officer is assigned to work in the schools of the Coos Bay School District. The Community Resource Officer works primarily with our unsheltered population to assist them in finding resources to help them locate permanent housing and gain stability.

The Communications Unit 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, North Bend Police and Fire, Coquille Police and Fire, Coquille Tribal Police, and Southwestern Oregon Community College campus security.  

The Records Unit 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, enforcing 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.
