The City of Roseburg is nestled roughly in the center of Douglas County, in the southwest region of Oregon. Below, are a few interesting facts about the County:

Douglas County extends from sea level at the Pacific Ocean, to the 9,182 - foot peak at Mt. Theilsen, in the Cascade Mountain Range. The county is roughly the size of Connecticut, stretching 87 miles north and south, and 172 miles east and west. Rivers such as the world famous Umpqua and Coquille Rivers meander east to west through the Roseburg area and Interstate 5 extends north and south through the center of town.

Conveniently located between the breathtaking Pacific coastline and snow-capped mountains, Roseburg enjoys a myriad of recreational opportunities and extraordinary quality of life. Roseburg also boasts a mild climate making it possible to take advantage of the environment we are blessed with, all year round.

The city has a daily service population which approaches 50-60,000. Roseburg Police Department handles an average of 20,000 calls for service per year.

The Roseburg Police Department is the largest municipal police agency within Douglas County, and we are also the county seat. The police department currently employs 37 sworn officers and 4 civilian employees.

The department is organized into divisions according to primary responsibilities which include Patrol, Traffic (motorcycles), Investigations and Records.

Our officers can also be found teaching at local colleges and the Oregon Police Academy.  We're involved in service clubs, boards, and other community and youth organizations in our community.
