The Tigard Police Department...
The Tigard Police Department is a progressive and professional
Police organization. It employs 88.5 personnel (70 sworn and 18.5 non-sworn)
with an operating budget of $9.2 million dollars. The department received accreditation
through the State of Oregon in April 2003.
The Tigard Police Department is committed to a community policing philosophy
and works very closely with the public providing a wide range of programs and information.
There are three divisions within the Police Department, including Operations, Support
Services and Administration.
- Operations is the uniform and traffic branch
- Administration includes the public information and crime prevention functions.
- Support Services consists of records, detectives, property control, street crimes unit,
school officers, youth services and training.
Regional development has resulted in significant growth in daytime
populations within the City of Tigard. Consider the present Tigard population of 46,000. Add
to that the average daytime population at the popular Washington Square shopping mall of
over 50,000. This now creates a service daytime population
for the police department of approximately 96,000. Consider also the other regional growth
presently underway in the City of Tigard.
