The national seat belt use rate in 2023 was 91.9%.
The Click It or Ticket campaign focuses on the remaining 8.1% who still don’t buckle up.
Why?
Thousands of lives could be saved each year if every person buckled up while on the road. According to NHTSA, half of the 25,000 passenger vehicle occupants killed in traffic crashes in the US in 2022 weren't using seat belts.
The Lane County Sheriff’s Office does not have regular funding for dedicated traffic enforcement. However, our deputies are committed to the safety of our community, and that includes patrolling our roadways. Deputies will be using federal grant funding to staff additional traffic safety patrols on overtime through February 8th.
Deputies will be on the lookout for improper seatbelt use and all other dangerous driving behaviors.

1/26/26 - LCSO Case 26-0411 - Lane County Sheriff’s K9 apprehends wanted man near Cottage Grove
On January 26th at 5 p.m., Lane County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a residence in the 31800 block of Cottage Grove Lorane Road, to look for Robert David Clark, 44, of Cottage Grove. Clark had warrants for his arrest out of Umatilla County for Trespass in the 1st Degree and Theft in the 3rd Degree, and out of Morrow County for Trespass in the 1st Degree, Trespass in the 2nd Degree, and Unlawful Entry into a Motor Vehicle.
Deputies contacted Clark at the front door of the residence. Instead of cooperating, he ran out the back door. A sergeant responded with K9 Hektor and began searching the area. Clark was eventually located by K9 Hektor hiding in the shed of a nearby property.
Clark refused to exit, and attempted to hold the door closed despite admonishments that a K9 would be deployed. K9 Hektor made entry and apprehended Clark. Deputies saw smoke start to rise from behind the door and heard a hissing noise. Once Clark was in custody, deputies discovered K9 Hektor had latched onto Clark through a cell phone in his pocket – which then proceeded to catch fire.
Clark was cleared on scene by medics and lodged at the Lane County Jail on the warrants and an additional charge of Trespass in the 2nd Degree.
K9 Hektor was uninjured.Photos from Lane County Sheriff's Office's post

❄ There is even MORE snow in the mountains! ❄
On Saturday evening, Lane County Sheriff’s Search & Rescue volunteers responded to assist two hikers who became lost in the area of Salt Creek Falls off of Highway 58 and were not prepared to be out overnight. They were located and guided back to their vehicle.
On Sunday, SAR volunteers with the Special Vehicles Group responded to assist the occupants of a sedan that was stuck in snow on a National Forest road south of Brice Creek Road. With temperatures dropping and snow continuing to fall, SAR volunteers found the vehicle and assisted the driver and two passengers back down to the valley.
Follow these tips to stay safe when you explore the outdoors in our county:
🗻 Always tell someone where you are going and when you plan to return.
🌨️ Know conditions before you leave - rain in the valley can mean ice up high!
⛺ Be prepared to stay out overnight - even if you don't plan to get out of your car.
🗺️ Bring maps for offline navigation - cell service can be spotty!
🌊 If you go on the water, ALWAYS wear a life jacket!
🛑 If you become lost, STAY PUT! Find a way to signal or make your location visible. Always carry a whistle and flashlight in the outdoors – it just might save your life.

1/18/26 - Lane County Sheriff’s Office seeks tips on reckless driver in Santa Clara area
On January 18th at 11 a.m., Lane County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a crash that caused a downed powerline at the intersection of Calla Street and Hyacinth Street, Eugene. Deputies learned from witnesses that the driver of an older teal or light blue Chevrolet or GMC pickup (pictured) lost control at a high rate of speed. The pickup knocked down a power pole, causing the powerline to fall off several other poles. The pickup continued through a front yard, and the driver fled the area in the vehicle.
Two area residents were in their front yard when the line fell. They narrowly avoided being struck by the charged line. Power was out in the neighborhood while a utility company made repairs, and many residents were unable to access their security video at the time.
The pickup likely has damage to the front driver’s side fender and hood area. Residents who witnessed the incident or have video of the pickup are asked to contact Dispatch at 541-682-4150 option 1. Please reference case 26-0288.Photos from Lane County Sheriff's Office's post
