Pilot Rock Police Department

10/22/2026

The Pilot Rock Police Department is heavily involved in our local school district. Our agency performs security checks at all of the schools (Elementary, Jr High, and High School), and we attend all sporting events, drills, concerts, dances, graduations, etc.

Earlier today, the Chief was arrested by multiple highly-driven Jr Officers. The Chief attempted to escape numerous times, but he was not successful. 😂 LETS GO ROCKETS 🚀

The Pilot Rock Police Department has been made aware of a growing safety concern in our community regarding E-Bikes, and E-Scooters. Our agency has seen an increase in accidents involving electric bikes, and electric scooters state-wide, and nationally. There have been several serious injuries, and fatalities connected to these types of incidents.

To help prevent similar tragedies here in Pilot Rock, we are providing families with accurate information, and practical safety guidance. We encourage you to review this information with your child and talk with them about safe, and responsible riding.

When school resumes in August 2026, we hope this reminds students about traffic safety near school campuses, and other public roadways. Our goal is to keep our youth safe as they travel to and from school, and throughout the community.

If you see someone violating the rules of the road with an E-bike, or E-Scooter, please contact the non-emergency Dispatch @ (541) 966-3651.
