OCTOBER IS OREGON PEDESTRIAN SAFETY MONTH
The Pendleton Police Department reminds everyone that pedestrian safety is a shared responsibility. Whether you’re behind the wheel or traveling on foot, a few extra seconds of attention can make all the difference.

KNOW YOUR CROSSWALKS - A crosswalk can be MARKED or UNMARKED.

Marked Crosswalk: A crosswalk identified by painted lines, stripes or other markings on the roadway.

Unmarked Crosswalk: At any intersections, the pedestrian crossing area is legally considered a crosswalk EVEN when there are no painted lines. Drivers should not assume that "no stripes" means "no crosswalk."

Drivers:
• Slow down and stay alert, especially near crosswalks, schools and busy intersections.
• Stop for pedestrians in crosswalks and never pass a vehicle stopped at a crosswalk.
• Keep your attention on the road.
• Be especially cautious at dawn, dusk and after dark.

Pedestrians:
• Use sidewalks and crosswalks whenever possible.
• Make eye contact with drivers before crossing — never assume you’ve been seen.
• Stay visible, especially at night.
• Avoid distractions and stay aware of traffic around you.

As daylight hours get shorter this fall, visibility becomes even more important.

Slow down. Look twice. Be seen.
Together, we can help keep everyone safe on Pendleton streets.

September 12 was National Police Women's Day and we proudly recognize and celebrate all women who serve in law enforcement and the dedication, courage, and compassion they bring to their communities every day.

We are especially fortunate to have two incredible women serving the Pendleton community — Officer Leloff and Officer Orchard. We are grateful for their commitment to keeping our community safe, their willingness to answer the call, and the professionalism they bring to the Pendleton Police Department.

Thank you, Officer Leloff and Officer Orchard, for all that you do! Your service makes a difference, and we are proud to have you on our team.

Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the families, friends, and communities forever changed by that day.

We remember the 2,977 people who never made it home. We honor the firefighters, police officers, paramedics, military members, and ordinary citizens who showed extraordinary courage in the face of unimaginable circumstances.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to remember the sacrifice, the bravery, and the overwhelming spirit of Americans coming together to help one another. Today, we honor those we lost, we remember those who served and WE WILL NEVER FORGET.
