The Grand Ronde Tribal Police Department, 9655 Grand Ronde
Road, now has a medication drop box located in the front lobby.
Lobby hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The drop box is for any prescribed or over-the-counter medication.
If the containers are too large to fit in the drop box, please repackage
them in a zip-lock plastic bag. Tribal Police employees cannot handle
the medications so the person dropping them off must repackage
them.

Tribal Police suggest mixing liquid medications with cat litter or
coffee grounds and then throwing them away with the household
trash.

non-emergency text line
The Grand Ronde Tribal Police Department has created a non-emergency
text line.
“We learned in our last school meeting that kids would like a different way
to communicate with the police if they have a non-emergency situation,”
Tribal Police Chief Jake McKnight said. “We all know kids love to text so my
officers and I decided this would be a great tool to utilize.”
The new text number is 541-921-2927.
“Even though this is mostly designed for children, I don’t want adults think-
ing that they can’t use it as well. If you have a non-emergency situation or
question, feel free to contact my officer via text through this line. When one
of my officers receives the text, they will call you back when they have time.”
McKnight said that emergency situations still require people to call 911.
For more information, contact McKnight at 503-879-1474.
