We are aware of the FAA technology issue impacting the nation causing a nationwide ground stop. The issued ground stop has effected all outgoing flights.
The Department of Homeland Security Secretary has publicly stated this is believed to be a technological issue and not a nefarious act.
We are receiving a number of inquiries from the public. This outage is not impacting local emergency services including police, fire, EMS, air medical transport.
Travelers should check with their airlines for more information on delays and cancellations before arriving at the airport.

Detective Kevin Dodds retired last week from the Douglas County Sheriff's Office after 33 years of service to Douglas County and more than 40 years in law enforcement. He was one of the agency's longest serving members.
Dodds began his law enforcement career in 1986 as a reserve deputy for the Lane County Sheriff's Office. In 1993, he joined DCSO as a patrol deputy.
Much of his career was spent patrolling southern Douglas County. He was especially proficient at DUII enforcement and, by way of his increased patrols, was a deterrent to potential DUII drivers.
In 1999, Dodds became especially interested in forensic evidence detection and collection. He was a part of processing hundreds of crime scenes and his evidence collection (primarily latent fingerprints) helped solve and prosecute many cases.
In the same year, Dodds was selected as a field training officer. Through this role, Dodds helped mentor many of the deputies currently serving DCSO. He became a highly respected training officer and fellow deputies often turned to him for guidance.
For five years, Dodds served as president of the Douglas County Law Enforcement Association. In 2010, he was selected as DCSO's Investigator of the Quarter. He was honored as the Deputy of the Year by the Roseburg Optimist Club at the 2022 Respect for Law Banquet.
In 2020, Dodds was promoted to rank of Detective. In the following years, he worked tirelessly for victims and was dedicated to positive outcomes on his cases. His reputation for integrity, thoroughness and sound judgement made him a respected member of the Major Crimes Team.
He worked for five sheriffs including John Pardon, Jim Main, Chris Brown, Jim Burge and John Hanlin.
Dodds' commitment to Douglas County is admirable, immeasurable and rare. His professional influence spans multiple generations of DCSO employees and will not soon be forgotten.
Congratulations, Detective Dodds, on your well-earned retirement.

ROSEBURG, Ore. - A coordinated search effort involving the Douglas County Sheriff's Office and Douglas County Search and Rescue volunteers resulted in the successful location of a missing 73-year-old Roseburg man Friday evening.
On Friday, October 9, 2026, at approximately 2:10 p.m., deputies responded to a residence in the 2800-block of SE Booth Avenue after receiving a report of a missing man. The man's wife reported that her husband, who suffers from dementia and has limited mobility, had last been seen on the evening of Wednesday, October 7, 2026.
Deputies conducted an initial search of the property but were unable to locate the man. Due to concerns for his safety, particularly given his medical condition and mobility limitations, Douglas County Search and Rescue was activated to assist in locating him.
As search efforts expanded, a Douglas Alerts notification was issued to residents within a one-mile radius of the residence, providing a description of the missing man and alerting the community to the search.
At approximately 6:02 p.m., a Search and Rescue ground search team located a packed bag on a neighboring property. The man's wife confirmed the bag belonged to her husband. Search personnel relayed the location to a Sheriff's Office drone operator, who focused aerial search efforts on the surrounding terrain.
Just eight minutes later, at approximately 6:10 p.m., the drone operator located the missing man on a hillside. Search and Rescue personnel responded to the location and assisted him to safety. Deputies determined the man had fallen down a steep, dry grassy slope with an estimated grade of 35 to 45 degrees and had spent a night outdoors before being located.
The man was evaluated by ambulance personnel at the scene but declined further medical assistance. He was subsequently escorted back to his residence where he was reunited with his wife and daughter.
This successful mission highlights the importance of resource coordination, including technology.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office extends its appreciation to the Search and Rescue Volunteers, emergency medical personnel, and everyone who assisted with the search.Photos from Douglas County Sheriff's Office's post

LOOKINGGLASS, Ore. - One man is dead and another in custody in an apparent homicide that took place in Lookingglass Sunday.
On Sunday, October 11, 2026, shortly after 3:45 p.m., 911 dispatchers received a call from 57-year-old Matthew William Bronsert of Lookingglass requesting assistance at a residence in the 7000-block of Lookingglass Road. Bronsert lived on the property in an outbuilding.
When deputies arrived, they were able to convince Bronsert to come outside to talk with them. Bronsert eventually came out of the residence at 5:53 p.m. At that time, he attempted to assault a deputy and was taken into custody. Deputies noted that Bronsert had blood on his clothing, which prompted them to conduct a welfare check on another male at the property.
When deputies entered the residence, they located a deceased adult male inside of the main residence with multiple gunshot wounds. The nature of the death appeared to be of foul play, and the victim's name is being withheld pending next of kin notification.
Bronsert was later questioned and admitted to shooting the victim. He was lodged in the Douglas County Jail on charges of Murder in the Second Degree and Unlawful Use of a Weapon.
The Douglas County Major Crimes Team was activated and is currently leading the investigation, which remains active. There is no on-going threat to the public.
The Douglas County Major Crimes Team consists of investigators from the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, Roseburg Police Department and Oregon State Police working in consultation with the Douglas County District Attorney's Office.
In addition to the Major Crimes Team, assisting agencies included Lookingglass Rural Fire District, Umpqua Valley Ambulance, Sutherlin and Winston Police Departments.
The investigation is ongoing, and no additional details are expected to be released at this time. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact investigators at 541-440-4458 referencing Case #26-3196.
