The majority of calls our deputies respond to don't make the news. Most people never hear about the difference our staff makes in people's individual lives.
Recently, a deputy was on her way home after shift when she saw a car not driving well on the Northwest Expressway. Expecting a DUI, the deputy stopped the car and called for backup. Instead of an arrest, the deputy got to make someone's day!
The elderly driver was having a difficult time seeing with the evening light conditions. Though almost home, they both agreed it was not safe for her to continue, but didn't want to leave her car on the side of the road overnight.
While we arenโt a taxi service and donโt usually give rides, the circumstance was unique. With supervisor approval, the deputies gave her a ride, got her car home safely, and discussed giving up driving for good.
Nothing heroic. Just doing the right thing, even after their shift was over.

On December 1st at about 3:30 a.m., Lane County Sheriffโs deputies and Springfield Police officers responded to an injured female at a business on 42nd Street, Springfield. The female was severely injured and was transported to an area hospital.

- Unlawful Use of a Weapon

Well, Corporal Carlton's first official week on the job was exhausting with all the extra attention.
Luckily there were plenty of pets and belly rubs to be had. A swing shift deputy even let him catch a quick nap while on break. He's headed home for his weekend (which curiously coincides with turkey and stuffing...hmm...).
Our office is incredibly thankful for Corporal, and we want to thank the people who make his presence possible:
All American Pet for supplies, food, and grooming
VCA McKenzie Animal Hospital for checkups, vet care, and medication
Working Dogs Oregon for finding him, assisting with training, and making this possible for our staff!
