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.” Featured News by Lane County Sheriff

"Imagine a choir singing a single, sustained, beautiful note. That note seems endless because each singer takes turns pausing to breathe, ensuring the harmony never wavers. This is the kind of sustained, collaborative effort we need. We must acknowledge that individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities and their families deserve lives that are not just included, but truly celebrated by their community. The dedicated individuals behind me have been the heart and soul of this effort, holding the notes and keeping the music alive. But even they need time to breathe. They need to know they are not alone. Today, we call upon the board and the entire Washington County community to join us in this ongoing symphony of advocacy. We cannot be our best selves, and we cannot build a thriving community, if we allow division to weaken us, or if we lose sight of our shared purpose. Let us take today to find the strength to unite and continue our song together." -- Program Manager Kirsten Oster at today's Washington County, Oregon board proclamation for Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month #DDAM2025 #proclamation
