I spoke with Jennifer Bragg, the Yoncalla City Administrator, this afternoon.
Last night, the Sergeant for the North County Patrol Office was informed by the City Manager that the City Council had voted not to renew the contract. This statement, along with later conversations about how many more city council meetings the Sergeant would need to attend and the fact that deputies wouldnโt be handling certain duties anymore, gave the Sergeant the impressionโbased on what the City Manager saidโthat the enhanced police services contract was ending on June 30, 2025. No further clarification was provided to the Sergeant.
Today, however, the City Manager has since clarified with me that this was not the direction given to her by the Council. The City Manager indicated to me that she will accept responsibility for this apparent misunderstanding.
The previous Facebook post was not intended to demean or humiliate the Mayor, City Council or the City Manager of Yoncalla, nor was it intended to cause fear amongst the city residents. It was simply shared with the purpose of sharing valuable information with those affected.
I am encouraged to hear that the contract is still under consideration and encourage open communication and community involvement. I look forward to speaking with the City Council and answering any questions they may have and continuing our partnership with the City of Yoncalla.
Respectfully,
John W. Hanlin, Sheriff

Residents and Business Owners of Yoncalla,
Iโm writing today with disappointment and concern following the City Councilโs decision last night (April 14, 2025), to end the enhanced police services contract with the Douglas County Sheriffโs Office.
I understand that city leadership is tasked with the difficult job of allocating limited resources just as the county is. These are not easy decisions. ๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ฏ๐ โ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ ๐ค๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ฒ ๐จ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐๐จ ๐๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ โ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐ญ๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ฐ๐๐ฒ๐ฌ ๐ซ๐๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ง ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ก๐ข๐ ๐ก๐๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐๐ง๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ. ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ญ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐, ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ฒ, ๐๐ง๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐ง๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ง ๐๐ฌ ๐จ๐ฉ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐๐ฅ ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฌ๐๐๐จ๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐ฒ.
Ending this contract means stepping away from a level of law enforcement that has provided consistent neighborhood patrols, services to schools, traffic enforcement, business checks, ordinance enforcement, and a regular presence that contributes not just to safety, but to a sense of stability and community. These are not small things โ they are the very services that help prevent crime, deter unwanted activity, and build trust between law enforcement and the people we serve.
The city has offered $50,000 for basic response to 911 calls, but at this time, that wonโt be necessary. Just as we do for unincorporated parts of the county, the Sheriffโs Office will continue to respond to emergencies within city limits. For non-emergency calls, however, residents may see a noticeable difference. Calls will be prioritized and handled as resources allow, and often without the direct, personal response many have come to expect.
I think it is important for the residents of the city to understand that the proposed FY26 contract included only a 4% increase โ just over $6,000 more than last year โ bringing the total to $140,314.39. That figure is still more than $21,000 less than what it costs the county to staff a single mid-step deputy. In return, the City of Yoncalla would have continued to receive 24/7 coverage, including all the enhanced services residents and businesses benefit from daily. This contract was never about a steep increase โ it was about continuing to invest in a level of protection and presence that we all know makes a difference.
I am also disappointed to share that I sent a letter to the City Manager outlining this information and offering to discuss the future of the enhanced police services contract. Unfortunately, I did not receive a response, nor was I invited to meet with the City Manager or City Council to talk through the details. Given the impact this decision has on public safety, I had hoped for a more collaborative and communicative approach.
In closing, I cannot help but feel it is a step backward. In times when public safety is becoming more complex, not less, this is not the moment to scale back. I truly hope the funds being saved through this decision will go toward initiatives that serve the community well โ but I remain firmly convinced that few investments are as foundational as public safety.
The men and women of the Douglas County Sheriffโs Office have been proud to serve Yoncalla through this partnership, and itโs been an honor to work with your city and serve all of you. If the City Governmentโs priorities shift in the future, the Sheriffโs Office is ready to discuss re-establishing this agreement with your elected and appointed city officials. Until then, we remain committed to responding to emergencies and doing our best with the resources available.
Respectfully,
John W. Hanlin, SheriffPhotos from Douglas County Sheriff's Office's post

Yesterday, our Crisis Negotiation Team, made up of staff from the Sheriff's Office and Winston Police Department, had the opportunity to conduct scenario-based training at Roseburg High School. This hands-on training is an essential part of building and sharpening the skills needed to effectively respond in critical situations.
A huge thank you to the Riddle Fire Protection District for their incredible supportโthey not only provided staff but also brought out their ladder truck to assist with the training. Weโre also extremely grateful to Roseburg Public Schools for allowing us to use the school grounds. Access to real-world environments is critical in preparing our team for crisis scenarios. These opportunities help us train more effectively and ensure weโre ready to serve our community when it matters most.
These partnerships are vital to our success, and we truly appreciate the collaboration and community spirit that makes this kind of training possible.Photos from Douglas County Sheriff's Office's post

ROSEBURG, Ore. - A wanted 26-year-old Roseburg man who ran from law enforcement was taken into custody with the assistance of K9 Eros.
On Wednesday, April 2, 2025, shortly before 6:00 p.m., a Roseburg officer observed Kai Preston Valente walking on S.E. Pine Street. Knowing he was wanted by his Parole Officer, the officer attempted to stop Valente who ran ensuing a foot pursuit despite being told he was under arrest. Valente was eventually located hiding under a bridge with a steep embankment beneath him. The officers requested the assistance of a K9 unit.
Douglas County Sheriff's Office K9 Eros was dispatched to the incident. Valente continued to be non-compliant, ignoring numerous law enforcement's commands. After multiple warnings from officers about the presence of the dog and what would happen if he was released, K9 Eros was deployed and took control of Valente until he was taken into custody. He was lodged in the Douglas County Jail on the Parole Violation and a charge of Escape III.
K9 Eros, a 5.5-year-old German Shepherd, has been with the Douglas County Sheriff's Office since November 2021. He was purchased by an anonymous donor in the community and gifted to the agency. The Sheriff's Office K9 program, consisting of three Patrol K9 teams and 1 narcotic detection K9 team, is supported financially by private donations and the Friends of Umpqua Valley Police K9 Programs, a non-profit organization whose mission is to support local police K9 teams. Bailey's Veterinary Clinic provides medical care and some food for the Sheriff's Office K9 program while Coastal Farm and Home Supply provides all other food. The agencyโs current K9 program has been highly active since 2013.
