Creswell Policing Project Final Report

As a fundamental service of government, the City of Creswell provides police services to its citizens. Determining the City’s service needs, defining a desired level and quality of police services, and ensuring a high efficiency and value are ongoing challenges faced by the City Council and the citizens of Creswell. This report by the Portland State University Center for Public Service responds to these questions with a comprehensive incident analysis and development of alternative policing approaches. This report strives to provide a factual basis that can support reasoned debate and decision making over how best to provide policing and public safety services to the City and its citizens.
