The Sandy Police Department is a progressive department which supports “community policing” and strives to deliver quality personal service to Sandy residents and people visiting our community.  Our officers handle criminal investigations, traffic control/enforcement, school resource functions, and code enforcement/animal control. One officer is assigned to the Clackamas County Major Crimes Team and one officer is assigned part time to the Clackamas County Interagency Task Force.  The school resource officer and one patrol officer have recently started attending inter-agency street gang meetings.  Current staffing consists of six patrol officers, one school resource officer, a traffic enforcement officer, two sergeants, a full-time code enforcement officer, a part-time code enforcement officer, and the chief of police. Office staff consists of one full-time and one half-time position.  On average, there are 12 reserve officers and six explorers who serve in a variety of support functions.
