Corvallis is home to Oregon State University and faces many of the challenges that are common to large college towns. The Corvallis Police Department acknowledges that students enjoy having a good time during their time in Corvallis, but it's important to respect your neighbors by following local laws.

The Corvallis Police Department's Community Livability Unit works to keep neighborhoods safe and secure, particularly in areas near the Oregon State University campus. CPD monitors calls for service throughout the City and occasionally issues a Special Response Fee Notice to discourage further criminal behavior at a particular property. Repeated infractions can lead to the property being labeled a Chronic Nuisance Property. Both of these designations are described in detail below.
