Chiefs note: Pedestrian Crosswalk
program Stop Signs will be placed on
12th Street at the intersection of
Arizona Street on Tuesday the 27the
Please pay attention when you’re in
that area and remember to stop. We
will have an officer in that area during
the first week or so until everyone
realizes there has been a new sign
placed there.
The reason the city is making that a
four-way stop is to slow down traffic
before they enter the school zone area
where many pedestrians are out. We
have been receiving complaints of
attempted gas thefts so remember to
get a locking gas cap and park your
vehicle in a lighted area so you can
observe it if you hear any sound sand
we can see movement while were
patrolling.
We have started the Three Flags
“Click it or Ticket” Campaign so
remember “You know who you are”
keep your seat belt on it may save
your life.”

Patty Barnes of the Port Orford Police Department will be occasionally riding her bike around town check-
ing some burn permits and just being observed and available to the public, according to Port Orford Police
Chief Mark Creighton. “I think it is a very good idea. Clerk Barnes suggested that she be able to ride her
bike around instead of her personal vehicle when she checks some burning permits when an officer is not
immediately available to perform that task. It is great for moral, police/public relations, and saves gas.”
