Thanks to our many Administrative Professionals who keep the Sheriff's Office running! One of our largest administrative work groups is our Police Records Unit. They provide services over the phone and in person. They work behind the scenes to serve our community and to support all other work groups within the Lane County Sheriff’s Office. When you arrive at the Lane County Sheriff’s Office, you will likely speak with a Police Records Officer at either our Civil Intake or Concealed Handgun Licensing (CHL) front counters. The Civil intake unit processes court paperwork such as protection orders, subpoenas, court-ordered evictions, small claims notices, as well as processing impounded and towed vehicle paperwork. Our CHL unit, in addition to processing new and renewal CHL applications, is responsible for criminal justice-related and public fingerprinting, sex offender registration, running background checks for firearms restorations, and processing OLCC applications. The Police Records Unit is also responsible for handling information for staff and the community regarding any police reports or police records. This includes reviewing reports, report control, release of public information, records maintenance, data entry, and managing the availability and confidentiality of all records. Additionally, this unit maintains and distributes copies of records to authorized persons and agencies to assist in the process of agency collaboration. New this year, Police Records is undergoing a partial renovation to the decades-old work area and creating two additional workspaces, as the Lane County Sheriff’s Office transitions from all-paper filing of reports and documentation to mainly digital. Thanks for your dedication to Lane County! #CommittedToJusticeAndIntegrity #SwornToProtect #HonoredToServe
