Lane County Sheriff’s Office earns accreditation with Northwest Accreditation Alliance
On January 8, 2025, the Northwest Accreditation Alliance Professional Standards Committee unanimously recommended to grant the Lane County Sheriff's Office accredited status. In order to be accredited, an agency must meet 104 professional standards with over 400 separate requirements contained within those standards. To remain accredited, an agency must go through this reassessment process every three years.
Accreditation helps agencies evaluate and improve their overall performance. The standards cover a comprehensive list of topics such as Use of Force, Property and Evidence, Training, and Fiscal Management.
Lieutenant Ryan Wells worked tirelessly to meet all of the accreditation requirements and devoted countless hours towards the effort. The Northwest Accreditation Alliance recognized his “outstanding work….in preparing the agency for the accreditation review. His involvement and yours show your commitment to the accreditation process.”
According to the Northwest Accreditation Alliance, their organization “exists to improve the quality of law enforcement and 9-1-1 agencies in the States of Oregon and Alaska and, ultimately the quality of services provided to the citizens of both states. The Northwest Accreditation Alliance proudly provides law enforcement and communications 9-1-1 accreditation to qualified law enforcement and 9-1-1 agencies in Oregon and Alaska. The U.S. Attorney General’s Office has designated the Northwest Accreditation Alliance as the State of Oregon’s independent credentialing body for the purpose of certifying compliance with the U.S. Department of Justice standards of certification on safe policing principles.”

Deputies teach, attend Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training
In February, the Lane County Regional Crisis Intervention Team hosted a 40-hour Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training at the Springfield Police Department. This regional training is offered to local law enforcement agencies in Lane County. The Regional Crisis Intervention Team is made up of coordinators from the Lane County Sheriff’s Office, the Eugene Police Department, and the Springfield Police Department. The team is assisted by a steering committee made up of stakeholders in the local mental health community. Last month’s training attendees included personnel from Lane Transit District Public Safety, the Springfield Police Department, Lane County Sheriff’s Office, and Eugene Police Department.
CIT Training consists of classroom instruction to educate participants about mental health, addiction, de-escalation, and alternatives to incarceration. The curriculum includes specific lessons about local resources and programs, commonly encountered mental health conditions, tactical communication strategies, and presentations from community members with lived, first-hand mental health experiences.
The training includes discussions specific to communities law enforcement officers may encounter such as military veterans, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and developmentally disabled individuals. Near the end of the week of training, attendees participate in scenario-based training based off of real situations. Finally, the training concludes with a segment on officer resilience and mental wellness.
This training provides a solid foundation for local law enforcement to call upon when approaching persons in crisis and to help community members receive the best outcome possible.

On February 5th at about 2 p.m., a deputy observed a vehicle driving erratically on Franklin Boulevard in Eugene. The deputy stopped the vehicle and contacted the driver, Danielle Davis, 41, of Utah.
