to maintaining Tigard as a quality city. The Chief holds strictly the community policing
philosophy and will continue to emphasize the importance of the police and community
working together to solve problems.
Chief Dickinson also places significant importance on Tigard area youth. As a result,
Tigard police can provide quality, results-oriented youth programs to Tigard youth.
These programs enable our youth to contribute positively to the community while
learning the importance of growing into solid citizens.
Further, Chief Dickinson has brought increased technology to the department as well;
in efforts to better serve the citizens of Tigard. Updated computers, patrol vehicle
video, improved training and an emphasis on improved communications between citizens
