Law Enforcement Council of Washington County
Chief Stacy Jepson �anuary 28, 2023
Beaverton PD The death of Tyre Nichols at the hands of police officers is appalling and indefensible. As
Chief Bob Ray members of the Washington County Law Enforcement Council,we are each appalled by what
Cornelius PD We saw in the video.
Chief Henry Reimann The brutality suffered by Mr. Nichols and the failure of any of these individuals to intervene is
Forest Grove PD sickening and leaves everyone, including police officers, disgusted, infuriated, and outraged.
Chief Jim Coleman Our heartfelt sympathies go out to Mr. Nichols' family, his friends, colleagues, and community.
Hillsboro PD
The individuals involved have rightly been fired and criminally charged in the death of Tyre
Chief Ernest Happala Nichols.There is no excuse for their actions.They have betrayed their oath of office,your trust
King City PD in law enforcement, disgraced the law enforcement profession, and brought shame on the
officers across the nation who work selflessly each day to protect their communities.
Chief James Haxton
North Plains PD We support our community members who want to raise their voices and exercise their right to
be heard. We also echo the request of Tyre Nichols'family and urge the community to do so in
Chief Ty Hanlon a peaceful, non-violent way. It is imperative that we not let violence and destruction distract us
Sherwood PD from the real challenge before us. Determining how we move beyond the pain and frustration
and continue to identify, develop, and implement systemic solutions to build safer, more just
Chief Kathy McAlpine communities is the highest priority.
Tigard PD
As police and law enforcement leaders, we remain committed to emphasizing dignity and
Chief Greg Pickering respect for all and instilling within our agencies a fundamental commitment to the preservation
Tualatin PD of human life. But we must, and will, do more.We must remain committed to working
together in partnership with all community members, advocacy organizations, elected officials,
Sheriff Pat Garrett and others to build a future that ensures dignity, security, and justice for all.

Sincerely,
Kevin Barton
