Astoria Police Department has been serving our community since 1876. Our motto - Dedicated to Duty - Committed to Community - is the foundation of our policing philosophy. We provide law enforcement services for the City's residents and visitors 24 hours every day and places particular emphasis on responding to the community's calls for service, investigating crimes and traffic enforcement.

Our men and women are a professional representation of the honorable profession that is policing. You will find them in your neighborhood, at the grocery store, the soccer field and volunteering. They don't practice "community policing" - they live it.

In the early 1800s, a series of principles were adopted that included the principle that the police require the consent and cooperation of the citizenry. This has never been truer. The entire community must work together to address crime and disorder.

You can help us by:

  • Reporting suspicious activity.
  • Thinking about prevention - locking your vehicles and residences and not leaving valuable items in plain sight.
  • Knowing your neighbors - never hesitate to call if you see something suspicious.

 

We are proud of the work we do and promise that we will continue to move forward in maintaining and improving our relationship with the public and the services we provide.

Astoria 9-1-1 is operated under the governance of the City of Astoria and dispatches for 3 law enforcement agencies, the Port of Astoria, and 8 fire departments. We are also tasked with afterhours dispatching of 3 public works departments. The dispatch center is staffed by a communications manager and 10 dispatchers. In 2025, Astoria 9-1-1 processed over 12,000 9-1-1 calls and 48,000 non-emergency calls.

All dispatchers are DPSST (Department of Public Safety Standards and Training) certified in both telecommunications and emergency medical dispatch (EMD). To receive these certifications, dispatchers attend a 3-week academy in Salem put on by the state of Oregon followed by a 3-day EMD course. Topics covered during the academy include ethics, communication skills, behavioral health, map reading, criminal law, call handling scenarios, and radio dispatching. Once a basic certification is obtained, dispatchers must complete 17 hours of training each year to keep their certification current. This includes law enforcement dispatch training, emergency medical dispatch training and one hour of ethics training. Dispatchers holding a leadership role, such as the communications manager, operations supervisor or a lead dispatcher must have additional leadership training each year.
