During National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, we would like to give a big thank you to the call-takers and dispatchers at WCCCA who play a crucial role in public safety. We couldn’t do our job without them!

Do you have kids? Nieces, nephews, grandkids, neighbors?

We're joining our Washington County partners in wearing blue today to help raise awareness of child abuse and neglect.

If you are worried about a child's wellbeing, you can reach out to Non-Emergency Dispatch at 503-629-0111 or the Oregon Child Abuse Hotline at 1-855-503-7233.

If you have kids in your life, whether they're family, neighbors or friends, you can help by keeping an eye out for unexplained injuries, changes in behavior and listening when they voice concerns. When you speak up for a child, you help create a safer community for our kids.

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, which increases awareness about the importance of child and family well-being.

Congratulations to Officer Osorio, who just graduated from the 16-week police academy in Salem!

Now that he's back with us in Tigard, he'll spend the next several months in field training learning from experienced officers before he'll start taking calls on his own.

We get it, we love our puppies too! 🐾

It's National Puppy Day and even though K-9s Rico and Cooper are technically grown-ups now, we thought they still deserved a shout out.
