CITY OF COOS BAY RECEIVES SPIRE GRANT FOR EMERGENCY GENERATOR The City of Coos Bay has been awarded a SPIRE Grant through the State of Oregon, providing a 150 kVA mobile generator to support emergency operations and infrastructure needs. This generator has the capacity to power most City facilities during an emergency, helping maintain essential services when normal power is disrupted. It also gives Public Works a reliable mobile power source for projects throughout the city, improving efficiency and flexibility in the field. The SPIRE (State Preparedness and Incident Response Equipment) Program is part of Oregon’s broader preparedness effort. The program strategically places critical equipment across the state to improve response times and support faster recovery during disasters. SPIRE equipment is available for use by local and regional agencies through established coordination processes, allowing communities to share resources when they are needed most. This investment strengthens Coos Bay’s ability to respond to emergencies while also providing day-to-day operational benefits for City services.

CBPD Announces 2026 Patrol Priorities: Focused on Safety, Visibility, and Community Well-Being The Coos Bay Police Department (CBPD) is proud to announce its 2026 patrol prioritize and share with the community how the department approaches public safety and patrol operations. Each year, CBPD conducts a review of the previous year’s successes and challenges, setting goals and priorities based on our mission, crime trends, and community needs. Following this annual review, the Patrol Unit established four key priorities for 2026 aimed at improving community safety, reducing recurring problems, increasing officer visibility, and maintaining a fair, lawful, and balanced approach to policing. While these efforts are already in progress, the department has formalized these priorities to provide clearer guidance for officers and greater transparency for the public. These priorities were developed by patrol supervisors and command staff using local call trends, community feedback, and proven best practices. The overall focus is on preventing repeat problems, keeping public spaces safe and accessible, and helping the community better understand how patrol resources are used. 1. Preventing Repeat Crime Through Problem Solving CBPD Officers will focus on addressing crime and nuisance activity, particularly property crime and drug-related offenses that create repeat calls for service. Emphasis will be placed on thorough investigations, strong documentation, and coordination between patrol officers and detectives to prevent issues from continuing or escalating. Why it matters: Addressing repeat problems reduces victimization, improves accountability, and allows officers to spend more time proactively serving the community. 2. Quality-of-Life Issues Addressed with City Partners and Community Resources Community concerns related to visible disorder, such as trash accumulation, unsafe conditions in parks, and blocked public access, remain a top concern for residents and businesses. Officers will address these issues lawfully and consistently while working closely with the City’s Parks and Public Works Departments, as well as available community and outreach resources. When situations involve homelessness, mental health, or substance use, officers will prioritize safety, compliance, and connections to services whenever possible. Why it matters: Clean, safe, and accessible public spaces benefit everyone and help reduce long-term conflict when addressed early and collaboratively. 3. High-Visibility Traffic Safety and Data-Guided Patrols Traffic crashes continue to cause serious injuries locally and nationwide. CBPD will focus traffic enforcement on behaviors most likely to cause harm, including impaired driving, excessive speed, distracted driving, and reckless behavior. Crash and call-for-service data will guide patrol locations and enforcement times. Officers are encouraged to explain the reason for enforcement during traffic and community contacts. CBPD remains committed to education as the primary approach for most traffic violations. Why it matters: Purposeful traffic enforcement saves lives and reinforces that police activity is focused on safety, not just enforcement. 4. Visibility, Foot Patrols, and Clear Communication Community feedback consistently shows that residents value seeing officers present in neighborhoods, parks, and business districts. Patrol officers will conduct regular foot patrols and visibility checks in shared public spaces. The department will also provide periodic public updates highlighting safety improvements, recoveries, and community partnerships, with an emphasis on outcomes rather than raw enforcement numbers. Why it matters: Officer visibility and clear communication help build trust and increase confidence in public safety services. Ongoing Review and Transparency CBPD will regularly review trends such as repeat calls for service, traffic crash data, and patrol activity to ensure these efforts remain effective and aligned with community expectations. Public safety is most effective when police activity is focused, fair, and clearly explained.

A TRIO OF TALKS AT CBPL The Coos Bay Public Library will be welcoming a trio of authors over the next month, and we want you to join us! Our first book talk will be given on April 25 from 1:30-2:30 p.m. by author Rebecca J. Dobkins author of The Art of Ceremony: Voices of Renewal from Indigenous Oregon. This book provides a contemporary and historical overview of the nine federally recognized tribes in Oregon through conversations with tribal representatives. Rebecca Dobkins is a curator of Native American art at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art at Willamette University in Salem, Oregon, where she taught cultural anthropology and museum studies from 1996 until her retirement from teaching in 2023. At the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, Dobkins has curated dozens of exhibitions and authored multiple publications. She continues to work with Indigenous artists and communities across Oregon and the Northwest, including the Crow’s Shadow Institute of the Arts at the Umatilla Reservation in eastern Oregon and The Museum at Warm Springs. Then on May 6, author S.K. DeMarinis will be joining us from 12-1 p.m. to discuss her newest book, Hidden in Haarlem. Her latest work weaves the true stories from an interview with an elder who survived WW II in Holland as a teenager. Many stories tell of war heroes and the persecuted, but this novel aims to bring to light stories of the regular folks who tried their best to bring a horrific war to a close. S.K. DeMarinis retired after 30 years as a chiropractor and took up writing novels to broaden her passion for storytelling. She presents a 1-hour slide show of her research of old newspapers, vintage photos, documents of other survivors, and digital encyclopedia references. Finally, Kimberly Jensen, author of Oregon’s Others will be joining us on May 9 from 1:30-2:30 PM. Her book examines the quest that took place in the era of WWI and its aftermath to identify, restrict, and punish internal enemy “others” across the country and specifically how it affected the people in Oregon. Kimberly Jensen received a Ph.D. in United States and Women’s History from the University of Iowa and is Professor of History and Gender Studies at Western Oregon University in Monmouth. She is the author of Mobilizing Minerva: American Women in the First World War (University of Illinois Press, 2008), Oregon’s Doctor to the World: Esther Pohl Lovejoy and a Life in Activism (University of Washington Press, 2012), and Oregon’s Others: Gender, Civil Liberties, and the Surveillance State in the Early Twentieth Century (University of Washington Press, 2024). She serves on the executive and editorial Boards of the Oregon Encyclopedia project https://www.oregonencyclopedia.org/
