2 K-9 Teams
In September 2019,Officer Powers and Diesel(not pictured here)
assisted the DEA taskforce in the apprehension of a suspected
drug smuggler en-route to Vancouver, Washington from Southern
California.During a traffic stop,Diesel positively alerted to the
odor of narcotics coming from the vehicle.Based on Diesel's track
record and credibility,a search warrant was obtained,resulting
in the seizure of 100 pounds of methamphetamine and 4 kilos of
heroin found in a secret compartment of the car.
Two teams of handlers and canines are assigned to the patrol
unit.Both German Shepherds Rico and Diesel are trained to track
and locate suspects and missing persons.They may be sent into
a premise to check for suspects following an alarm activation or
other incident.If a suspect were to physically harm an officer,Rico

community and school events.What's new this period:
► Officer Powers and his K-9 partner Diesel became dual
certified in tracking and narcotics detection through
the Oregon Police Canine Association in June 2018 after
completing narcotics detection training. Diesel has a unique
gift for discerning between the odors of various controlled
substances with over 95%accuracy.

VALUES: + 2017 + 2018 + 2019
Since 2017,societal calls for service have increased by 17%overall,while there is some fluctuation with individual call types.Disorderly conduct increased
dramatically in 2018 and has somewhat leveled off by 2019.Many of our societal calls are related to issues associated with persons experiencing
homelessness and/or mental illness to include welfare checks,unwanted persons,suspicious persons and circumstance calls. The increase in weapons
violations in 2019 is related to Tigard Police taking over the reporting of firearm sales denials from the Oregon State Police.
