TIGARD POLICE DEPT. THANKS COMMUNITY FOR SUPPORTING
PUBLIC SAFETY RENEWAL LEVY
Interim Police Chief Jamey McDonald and the entire Tigard Police Department would like
to thank Tigard voters for supporting the Public Safety Renewal Levy (Measure 34-333)
by an overwhelming margin in last night's election.
As of current election results, the renewal levy is passing with 78% support. First
approved by voters in 2020, this renewal preserves our investments in public safety for
another five years. Specifically, it allows the Tigard Police Department to retain critical
staff members who were hired when the levy first passed, including:
• 8 police (patrol) officers
• 1 School Resource Officer
• 1 Records Specialist
• 1 Property & Evidence Specialist
The renewal of the levy also allows the Department to continue advanced crisis
intervention and de-escalation training for all patrol officers.
"I would like to thank Tigard voters for their commitment to the safety of this community
by renewing the Public Safety Levy," said Interim Chief of Police Jamey McDonald.
"Thank you for allowing us to continue providing the same level of service you have
come to expect from the Tigard Police Department as we move forward. With deep
gratitude, thank you Tigard. We appreciate your confidence and support!"
A video message from Interim Chief McDonald is also available here:
