MAYOR'S MESSAGE  
  
Advancing Leadership, Strengthening Service  
  
I want to take a moment to recognize a significant accomplishment by Coos Bay Police Chief Chris Chapanar, who recently graduated from the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia.  
  
The FBI National Academy is one of the most respected leadership programs in law enforcement, bringing together professionals from across the nation and around the world. Attendance is highly selective, and fewer than one percent of law enforcement officers have the opportunity to participate.  
  
Over the course of the 10-week program, Chief Chapanar completed advanced training in leadership, communication, public safety strategies, and emerging issues facing law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve.  
  
Chief Chapanar's graduation reflects his commitment to continuous learning and professional growth, as well as his dedication to providing the highest level of service to the residents of Coos Bay. Investing in leadership development helps ensure our Police Department remains prepared to meet the challenges of today while planning for the future.  
  
Please join me in congratulating Chief Chapanar on this outstanding achievement. We are fortunate to have leaders who are committed to excellence and to serving our community with integrity and professionalism.

SIREN TEST - UPPER PONY CREEK DAM WARNING SYSTEM  
  
On Saturday, June 27th, 2026 at 10:00 a.m., the Coos Bay-North Bend Water Board will conduct a test of the Upper Pony Creek Dam Warning System.  
  
This test is intended to give the public an opportunity to hear the warning siren and become familiar with the sound that would be used in the event of a dam breach.  
  
Sirens located at the North Bend High School and the Water Board Service Center will be activated once at 10:00 a.m. The test will consist of a three-minute siren cycle (15 seconds on, 10 seconds off), which represents the audible warning used for a dam failure.  
  
Important Safety Reminder:  
If you live within the dam breach evacuation zone and hear the siren at any time other than a scheduled test, move to higher ground immediately. If you are unsure whether your location is within the dam failure inundation zone, please contact the Coos Bay-North Bend Water Board.
