SAFETY IN HAPPY VALLEY
Happy Valley Police

Advertisement
In Happy Valley, we have a dedicated team of deputies who keep the community safe via 24/7 patrols, educational programs, and community outreach. Their engagement with the public, whether interacting with citizens, business owners or students, demonstrates their commitment to working together to maintain the safety of the community.
Police services are provided through a contract with the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) and are funded through a five-year local safety levy, voted on by residents. Through this partnership and annual contract with the CCSO, the City maintains local control and identity of our police, and ultimately saves the tax-payer money since it can utilize many of the same services this larger law enforcement agency provides. The next levy renewal will be on the ballot in November 2024. Follow the department on Facebook @HappyValleyPoliceDepartment to learn about safety developments in the community.
Community Service Officers
Community Service Officers are dedicated to enriching the lives of citizens by protecting the health and welfare of residents through fair and impartial enforcement of the Happy Valley Municipal Code. No matter the situation, our officers are eager to help residents get the information they need, and they play a vital role in keeping our community safe and a desirable place to be. Community Service Officers have helped reunite lost animals with residents, performed safety checks on homes, and supported both law enforcement and the fire department during times of emergency. The team focuses on a variety of endeavors that include consistent patrolling of City parks, ensuring businesses are compliant with licensure and construction site rules are followed, and providing liaison support to Homeowners Associations and vulnerable populations in need of wrap-around resources. Through collaboration and proactive problem-solving, Community Service Officers truly work in partnership with residents.
Clackamas Firefighters
Clackamas Fire District (CFD) #1 is one of the largest fire protection districts in Oregon. With four fire stations in Happy Valley (Stations 5, 6, 7, and 8), they can be at an emergency in a moment’s notice. With nearly 300 career and volunteer firefighter/EMS support personnel behind them, CFD #1 focuses on keeping the public safe, both through emergency response and community education. They have garnered a statewide reputation for hiring the best-educated fire service professionals in the field and for conducting comprehensive training programs that other districts seek to emulate. Some of their specialty areas, such as their outstanding swift water rescue team, confined space rescue, and innovative approach to managing their self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), have attracted nationwide attention, and set new standards for skill and leadership in the fire service.
Whether they are taking the lead during fire or providing emergency medical care, the perseverance of our Clackamas Fire District #1 firefighters is a true testament to the caliber of services they provide.
