The Grand Ronde Tribal Police Department has created a non-emergency
text line at 541-921-2927.
“Even though this is mostly designed for children, I don’t want adults
thinking 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,” said
Grand Ronde Tribal Police Chief Jake McKnight. “When one of my officers
receives the text, they will call you back when they have time.”
McKnight said that emergency situations still require calling 911.
For more information, contact McKnight at 503-879-1474. 
