TRINITY JACKSON TAKES OATH OF OFFICE On Monday, November 2nd, 2026, Trinity Jackson proudly took her Oath of Office as a 911 Dispatcher, sworn in by Chief Chris Chapanar. Trinity comes to us from Reedsport, where she currently resides with her family. She grew up in Las Vegas with her adoptive parents and five siblings. She graduated from Reedsport High school in 2025. During high school she also completed a year of classes through SWOCC, focusing on communication and completing coursework to become a caregiver. She has worked as a caregiver for Premier Community Supports and also coaches volleyball for OSAA. Throughout the hiring process, Trinity was consistently noted for having a strong work ethic and an eagerness to learn. Although Trinity is new to dispatch, she has aspired to become a dispatcher for the past eight years, inspired by her aunt, who retired as a dispatcher from the Las Vegas Metro Police. She brings that longstanding passion to her new role. We’re excited to welcome Trinity to the Coos Bay Police Department and the North Coos Dispatch team.

Coos Bay Fire Department 450 Elrod Avenue Coos Bay, OR 97420 541-269-1191 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Wildfire Mitigation at John Topits Park November 9, 2026 - Over the next few weeks, the City of Coos Bay’s defensible space project will continue at John Topits Park. The Coos Forest Protective Association (CFPA) will lead this phase of work to remove excessive brush in an effort to reduce the chance that a wildfire spreads through the park or into nearby neighborhoods. CFPA crews will thin dense underbrush along the park’s perimeter and in selected areas within the park. Removing some of this vegetation breaks up the fuel a wildfire can use to spread, helping protect the park and nearby homes. Crews will dispose of the cut brush in small, controlled piles when weather and smoke dispersal conditions are favorable. Burning removes the cut material that could otherwise fuel a wildfire, and some nutrients from the ash can return to the soil. Residents may see smoke and flames during this planned work. CFPA will manage the burns, and the Coos Bay Fire Department will monitor the work closely. If you visit the park, expect extra crew and equipment traffic. Please give crews room to work and follow any posted signs. If you see fire spreading beyond a burn pile or believe there is an emergency, call 911. Thank you for your patience while crews work to protect John Topits Park and the neighborhoods around it. For project questions, call the Coos Bay Public Works at 541-269-8918
