PRESS RELEASE The City of Coos Bay is aware of recent public concern regarding the potential development of an ICE detention facility in Coos County. Our inquiry has indicated that there is no current intention of locating such a facility in our County. The City of Coos Bay has done a comprehensive review of potential impacts, and we have concluded that a federal detention facility is not compatible with the Coos Bay area due to the following reasons: Public safety and municipal service infrastructure, including police, fire, emergency medical response, and code enforcement is at capacity, and is in place to serve the current residential and commercial population. A detention facility would impose significant additional burdens on these systems, diverting resources away from community needs, and creating operational risks and unfunded service demands. Given that tourism is a foundational economic engine for Coos Bay and the surrounding region, these impacts pose a direct threat to economic vitality. Any detention facility near tourism corridors can create measurable declines in visitor confidence and commercial activity. A detention facility in or near Coos Bay would undermine the City’s tourism-based economy by: diminishing the area’s reputation as a safe and welcoming coastal destination; reduce visitor traffic to waterfront attractions, lodging, and small businesses; create congestion, restricted-access zones, and security-related closures that interfere with recreation and tourism mobility, and discourage private investment in hospitality, retail, and outdoor-recreation sectors. The regional airport plays a critical role in supporting local commerce, passenger travel, forestry, fisheries, and emergency medical transport, and any federal detention facility in this vicinity could disrupt airport operations, create heightened security restrictions, and impede economic development efforts tied to air travel and regional connectivity. For these reasons, the City of Coos Bay finds that a federal detention facility is incompatible with local infrastructure capacity, economic development priorities, tourism, and community-defined strategic goals. As such, and as the largest city on the Oregon Coast, the City of Coos Bay opposes construction or operation of any federal detention facility within the City, or within the immediate proximity to the city, including within the whole of Coos County. The City remains firmly committed to supporting development that advances long-term prosperity, safety, and livability for all residents and visitors.

MAYOR'S MESSAGE Looking back on 2025, I’m struck by how much of the work our Police and Fire teams that never makes headlines—but makes a real difference in everyday life here in our community. At a recent Council meeting, Police Chief Chris Chapanar and Fire Chief Jeff Adkins walked us through the year in review. What stood out most was steady progress, thoughtful improvements, and a continued commitment to serving our residents with professionalism and care. In 2025, the Police Department responded to 31,088 calls for service, a decrease of about 7.9% from the year before. Case numbers also declined to 3,427, and total arrests dropped from 1,200 to 1,092. Chief Chapanar emphasized that numbers never tell the whole story. Staffing levels play a big role in what officers are able to do proactively. At one point last year, the department was down six members due to retirements, injuries, and turnover. When that happens, officers must focus first on priority calls, which can mean fewer traffic stops and fewer proactive patrol checks. Even so, there were several positive trends that directly affect daily life in our neighborhoods and business districts. Criminal trespass and criminal mischief both decreased. Burglaries dropped by about 20%, and stolen vehicles were down more than 50%. Those reductions matter. They represent fewer break-ins, fewer repeat nuisance situations, and fewer residents dealing with the disruption of property crimes. There were also areas that deserve our attention. Traffic crashes rose significantly, from 188 to 273, and DUII arrests increased to 143. Chief Chapanar was clear that DUII is a completely avoidable crime, and while enforcement plays a role, community choices are equally important. Slowing down, driving attentively, and never getting behind the wheel impaired are simple actions that protect everyone. One encouraging development has been the department’s online reporting system, PD Connect. Over the past year, nearly 400 reports were submitted online, including crime tips, abandoned vehicles, thefts, and other concerns. Each report is reviewed and routed appropriately, helping the department respond efficiently while giving residents another convenient way to communicate. Behind all of this is an enormous amount of work that often goes unseen. Dispatch handled more than 128,000 calls last year, dispatchers and officers logged thousands of hours of training. The dedication of these professionals, especially while navigating staffing challenges, deserves real recognition. Fire Chief Jeff Adkins shared that the Fire Department responded to 4,033 calls in 2025. The majority—2,739—were medical-related. The remainder included public assists, fire-related calls, and hazardous condition responses. One of the biggest themes from the Fire Department this year was investing in people. With leadership transitions and retirements, the department filled key positions, including bringing on new firefighter engineers. Chief Adkins highlighted the success of the apprentice program, which helps individuals enter the fire service by reducing traditional barriers and providing structured, hands-on training. It’s already proving to be a strong pathway for developing local talent. Another important change in 2025 was the implementation of what the department calls “Code Charlie.” In practical terms, this allows firefighters to be cleared from certain low-acuity medical calls when an ambulance is already responding. Patient care is still covered, but the fire engine doesn’t need to roll in every instance. This reduces wear and tear on equipment, lowers risk and exposure for firefighters, and keeps crews available for higher-priority emergencies. It’s a smart refinement that helps preserve resources while maintaining service levels. Chief Adkins also spoke about long-term readiness. The department now has a 100-foot platform ladder truck at the station, and while it requires specialized training before full deployment, it significantly enhances our ability to respond to complex emergencies. Efforts are also continuing around facility improvements, including pursuing grant opportunities for seismic upgrades. One of the most meaningful moments during the Council discussion was the appreciation expressed for both departments. Public safety work happens 24 hours a day, often under challenging circumstances, and with limited resources. The professionalism, adaptability, and dedication shown by our Police and Fire teams are something we should all be proud of. As we move into 2026, the focus remains clear: strengthen staffing, refine systems, invest wisely in equipment and training, and continue building trust with the community. Public safety is not just about responding to emergencies—it’s about prevention, partnership, and steady improvement. Thank you to Chief Adkins, Chief Chapanar, and every member of their teams for the work you do every day to keep our community safe. -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos Bay
