The Corvallis Police Department achieved their first, initial accreditation award in 1995 through the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA). Since 1995, we have remained accredited through CALEA while having undergone eight separate reaccreditation assessments. Our last reaccreditation onsite took place in December, 2017, with a certificate of Advanced Meritorious Accreditation officially awarded at the CALEA conference in March, 2018.
The Office of the Chief is responsible for the overall administration of the Police Department. Corvallis Police Chief Jason Harvey is the liaison for Municipal Court, State and Federal law enforcement; public and media relations; strategic planning; communication between the Department and the City Manager's Office, City Council, and community to ensure responsiveness to community priorities; and provides internal leadership and staff development.
In August of 2015 the Corvallis Police Department implemented the Community Livability Unit which was developed to address chronic criminal behaviors which negatively impact the community and to improve livability. Since then, the team has grown from three officers to a total of six, which has increased its ability to effectively address criminal conduct throughout the community.
The Community Livability Unit is under the Professional Standards and Support Division and managed by Captain Joel Goodwin.
