About The Dalles Police Department

Thank you for your interest in being an officer with The Dalles Police Department. Dalles phone image x series

We are a diverse group of law enforcement professionals who share a passion for safety, community partnership, and arresting people who want to reduce our quality of life.   We work closely with the District Attorney's office to hold these people accountable for their actions.

We are progressive in our training, equipment, and community service.  We encourage “outside the box” thinking and will entertain any project that increases the livability of our community  and visitors.  

We have a great relationship with our law enforcement partners which includes the Wasco County Sheriff's Office, Hood River Sheriff's Office and Hood River Police Department, Sherman County Sheriff's Office, FBI and DEA to name a few.

The Dalles is centrally located in the Columbia River Gorge with a 365 day recreation calendar.  We are located on the bank of the Columbia river and just  50 minutes from Mt. Hood's premier ski resort; minutes from premier wind surfing and kite boarding areas, a few hours to the Oregon Coast and a short drive away from premier fly fishing locations.  Hiking, biking, bird watching, fishing, hunting and more
