Records Unit
11The Records Unit is located in the Grants Pass Police Station at 726 NE 7th Street.
Staffing
The unit is staffed with seven full-time Records Specialists and a Supervisor. Staffing is supplemented when needed by additional on-call staff to reduce staffing costs and assure quality customer service.
Purpose
The unit’s mission is to collect, maintain, and retrieve police data in order to support other office operations, other government agencies, and the public. Our goal is to do this in a fiscally responsible and courteous manner.
Records procedures are governed by state regulations and are followed in accordance with department policy and Oregon Revised Statutes.
Duties
The primary duties of the Records Unit include processing non-emergent calls for service and records management.
