CBPD Announces 2026 Patrol Priorities: Focused on Safety, Visibility, and Community Well-Being  
  
The Coos Bay Police Department (CBPD) is proud to announce its 2026 patrol prioritize and share with the community how the department approaches public safety and patrol operations. Each year, CBPD conducts a review of the previous year’s successes and challenges, setting goals and priorities based on our mission, crime trends, and community needs.  
  
Following this annual review, the Patrol Unit established four key priorities for 2026 aimed at improving community safety, reducing recurring problems, increasing officer visibility, and maintaining a fair, lawful, and balanced approach to policing. While these efforts are already in progress, the department has formalized these priorities to provide clearer guidance for officers and greater transparency for the public.  
  
These priorities were developed by patrol supervisors and command staff using local call trends, community feedback, and proven best practices. The overall focus is on preventing repeat problems, keeping public spaces safe and accessible, and helping the community better understand how patrol resources are used.  
  
1. Preventing Repeat Crime Through Problem Solving  
CBPD Officers will focus on addressing crime and nuisance activity, particularly property crime and drug-related offenses that create repeat calls for service. Emphasis will be placed on thorough investigations, strong documentation, and coordination between patrol officers and detectives to prevent issues from continuing or escalating.  
  
Why it matters: Addressing repeat problems reduces victimization, improves accountability, and allows officers to spend more time proactively serving the community.  
  
2. Quality-of-Life Issues Addressed with City Partners and Community Resources  
Community concerns related to visible disorder, such as trash accumulation, unsafe conditions in parks, and blocked public access, remain a top concern for residents and businesses. Officers will address these issues lawfully and consistently while working closely with the City’s Parks and Public Works Departments, as well as available community and outreach resources.  
  
When situations involve homelessness, mental health, or substance use, officers will prioritize safety, compliance, and connections to services whenever possible.  
  
Why it matters: Clean, safe, and accessible public spaces benefit everyone and help reduce long-term conflict when addressed early and collaboratively.  
  
3. High-Visibility Traffic Safety and Data-Guided Patrols  
Traffic crashes continue to cause serious injuries locally and nationwide. CBPD will focus traffic enforcement on behaviors most likely to cause harm, including impaired driving, excessive speed, distracted driving, and reckless behavior. Crash and call-for-service data will guide patrol locations and enforcement times.  
  
Officers are encouraged to explain the reason for enforcement during traffic and community contacts. CBPD remains committed to education as the primary approach for most traffic violations.  
  
Why it matters: Purposeful traffic enforcement saves lives and reinforces that police activity is focused on safety, not just enforcement.  
  
4. Visibility, Foot Patrols, and Clear Communication  
Community feedback consistently shows that residents value seeing officers present in neighborhoods, parks, and business districts. Patrol officers will conduct regular foot patrols and visibility checks in shared public spaces.  
  
The department will also provide periodic public updates highlighting safety improvements, recoveries, and community partnerships, with an emphasis on outcomes rather than raw enforcement numbers.  
  
Why it matters: Officer visibility and clear communication help build trust and increase confidence in public safety services.  
  
Ongoing Review and Transparency  
CBPD will regularly review trends such as repeat calls for service, traffic crash data, and patrol activity to ensure these efforts remain effective and aligned with community expectations.  
  
Public safety is most effective when police activity is focused, fair, and clearly explained.
