We are committed to making every interaction in our community safer, calmer, and more accessible. To support residents with communication differences, the police department now offers window stickers for drivers or passengers who are autistic or deaf.

These stickers allow officers approaching a vehicle to be aware of communication needs right away, helping them adjust their approach to ensure the interaction is respectful, clear, and supportive.

Thank you to resident Joann Clinton for suggesting this idea to us. If you or a loved one would benefit from one of these stickers, they’re available for free at the police department front desk during regular business hours. We are proud to take this step toward more inclusive and understanding public safety for everyone.

The Monmouth Police Department has partnered with Civic Informer to launch a new public resource for following police activity in Monmouth, Oregon. Residents, students, and businesses can now view weekly reports of Monmouth Police Department activity, explore where the department responds, and subscribe to a free weekly email delivered every Monday.

What is Civic Informer?
Civic Informer is a public safety information platform that partners with police departments and other public safety agencies to make public records accessible and easy to follow.

For Monmouth, Civic Informer publishes event data provided by the Monmouth Police Department as a weekly report, an interactive map, and a Monday email. Each report also shows how events started: through 911, by phone, or by officers in the field. Civic Informer is an additional resource for the community. It does not replace the Monmouth Police Department's existing communication channels, emergency notifications, or public records processes.

The site is available at civicinformer.com/monmouth and registration is free. From there, residents can:

📰Read the weekly report, published every Monday, which summarizes the previous seven days of Monmouth Police Department events and compares them to the week before.
⏰Review how events started, with each report showing how many came through 911, came in by phone, or were initiated by officers.
📍Use the interactive map to see where the Monmouth Police Department responds. (Locations are generalized to the block or nearest intersection, never an exact address.)

School is back in session so there are more bikes on the road during the morning and afternoon. Here are some tips for how to stay safe while on the road; whether you are in a car or on a bike. Travel safe, Monmouth!

🚗Motorists should remember these tips:

-When a cyclist has stopped and remains on their bicycle at an intersection or a traffic signal, they are to be treated as a vehicle waiting for their turn to proceed.
-Be alert for small children on oversized bicycles. This may increase the likelihood for loss of control.
-When passing a cyclist, go around them like you would pass another vehicle and leave plenty of room.
-When you are preparing to make a right turn, watch for cyclists who may pull up alongside you. Remember to look over your shoulder to check your blind spots.
-When pulling away from the curb, merging, or preparing to turn, check for cyclists who may be trying to pass.
-When parked at the curb, check for cyclists before opening the vehicle door. It’s the driver's responsibility not to open the vehicle door into traffic.
-Do not follow too closely behind cyclists.
-Remember cyclists are entitled to make left turns in the same manner as other vehicles.
-Be aware of roadway conditions that may affect a cyclist.
-Weather such as fog or rain impact motorists and cyclists alike. Use additional caution in hazardous areas and during times of low visibility.

🚲Cyclists should remember these tips while using streets and highways:

-Riding against the flow of traffic is illegal and increases your risk of injury and death.
-Cyclists are required to ride in bike lanes or paths when it is adjacent to the roadway with exceptions for right and left turns and to avoid hazards.
-In areas without bike lanes, cyclists are required to ride as close as practicable to the curb, however they may need to adjust to avoid grates, potholes, debris, gravel, sand, wet or slippery surfaces, rutted or grooved pavement and other hazards.
-Keep your hands on the handlebars except when making a hand signal.
-Keep your feet on the pedals.
-Do not carry more people on the bicycle than it was designed for.
-Do not hold onto, attach yourself or the bicycle to any other moving vehicle.
-Only ride side by side on the road with another cyclist when it does not impede other traffic.
-If there is not enough room to pass safely, ride single file.
-Ensure the bicycle is equipped with at least one white light to the front and a red light and or red reflector mounted on the rear of the bicycle.
-Wear reflective clothing or gear.
-Wear appropriate protective gear.
-Ensure the bicycle has effective brakes.
-Share your cycling plans with loved ones, include where you are going and when you are expected to return.

Today, staff members of the Ron Wilson Center for Effective Living, Inc. stopped by the police station to express their appreciation for the support and assistance our officers provide to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in our community. They generously brought two large baskets filled with goodies as a heartfelt thank you to our officers.

While the gifts were greatly appreciated, it was the thought and kindness behind them that meant the most. The Ron Wilson Center works every day to support and empower members of our community, and we are grateful for the opportunity to work alongside them in creating a community where everyone feels valued, supported, and respected.

Thank you for recognizing the work of our officers and for reminding us that kindness, gratitude, and community partnership go both ways.
