2024 Annual Report Message from Chief Jamey McDonald

As my first year as your Chief of Police comes to a close, I am humbled and honored to be writing this message to the Tigard community.

2024 was certainly a year marked by change. With the retirement of Chief Kathy McAlpine, I was named the Interim Chief of Police for the first half of the year. In June, I took on the official role and was recognized at a swearing-in ceremony attended by my family, colleagues, friends and members of our community. The enormity of the moment was not lost on me, and I still feel that way today.

I first walked in the door of the Tigard Police Department as a patrol officer in 2001 – a much younger, more naïve version of myself. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to serve in various roles including School Resource Officer, Field Training Officer and firearms instructor, and earned promotions as patrol sergeant, Commercial Crimes Unit detective sergeant, lieutenant then commander. As the first person in department history who has risen through the ranks from recruit officer to Chief, I have learned a lot. Perhaps the biggest is this: no matter what position you are in or rank you hold, policing comes down to treating people with kindness, working to find solutions and opening your doors to the people you serve.

As Chief, I will remain committed to police transparency – which has been a department priority for many years. As I often say, there are very few things we can’t talk about in the police department. I encourage you to ask questions and learn the ‘why’ behind how we do things and why we do them that way. For those of you who want to take a deeper dive, explore our Police Transparency page, read our Annual Reports and browse our Police Newsroom page. Beyond that, I encourage you to attend Community Academy, visit Chat with the Chief, or stop by an Open House. I am confident that you will connect with the men and women who faithfully serve the City of Tigard in a new way.

As your Chief, I also recognize the incredible stressors that come with a career in law enforcement. Police officers are exposed to traumatic calls, scenes and interactions on a near daily basis. Over time, that can have a significant impact on your health – physically, mentally and emotionally. That’s why I am prioritizing Wellness as a new department initiative, to allow our first responders and support staff on-duty wellness time. I believe investing in this way will help our people be the best version of themselves, so that they can be the most engaged, effective people possible when they put on the uniform each day.

This year we also saw enormous support for our Public Safety Renewal Levy, which passed with 78% of the vote in May. From the bottom of my heart, I want to say thank you. This critical funding allows us to keep eight police officers, one School Resource Officer, two support staff positions and continue training in advanced crisis intervention and de-escalation. 

As we look ahead to 2025, we’re focusing on Building a Better Tigard, which is the campaign to build a new, combined facility for our Police and Public Works Departments. A new facility has been on the horizon ever since I was a new hire. I’m encouraged that, as a City, we are now closer than we’ve ever been to actually accomplishing this goal. A vote on a bond for this project is expected in May 2026. In the meantime, you can learn more at www.tigard-or.gov/BuildingABetterTigard.

I am excited for what else 2025 may hold, as we continue to work toward a brighter future together.

Respectfully,

Chief Jamey McDonald
