OSP Launches Interactive Monthly Patrol Activity Map, Feb. 14

On February 12, 2018, the Oregon State Police is launching an interactive patrol activity map on our webpage http://www.oregon.gov/OSP/pages/index.aspx. This interactive map displays the patrol activities undertaken by OSP across Oregon. This information is searchable by county, activity type, and violation type. The patrol activities are classified as Charges or Events. Charges are citations or warnings issued for a violation of an Oregon Revised Statute, and an Event is an incident reported to the Department’s dispatch centers. Event type category descriptions are: Calls for Service — Requests for Oregon State Police personnel to respond to incidents reported to the Department’s dispatch centers; Crashes — Motor vehicle accidents reported to the Department’s dispatch centers; Routine Contact — Contact with an individual initiated by Oregon State Police personnel; Speed — Citations or warnings issued to motorists for violations of Oregon Revised Statutes related to vehicle speed; Occupant Safety – Citations or warnings issued to motorists for violations of Oregon Revised Statutes related to the safety of occupants in vehicles (e.g., no seatbelt); Lane Safety – Citations or warnings issued to motorists for violations of Oregon Revised Statutes related to roadway standards (devices, markers, signals, signs, etc.); Impaired Driving – Citations or warnings issued to motorists for violations of Oregon Revised Statutes related to operating a vehicle under the influence of intoxicants; Distracted Driving – Citations or warnings issued to motorists for violations of Oregon Revised Statutes related to operating a vehicle while distracted (e.g., using a cellphone); All Other — All other citations or warnings issued to individuals for violations of Oregon Revised Statutes not related to speed, occupant safety, lane safety, impaired driving, or distracted driving. We are still in the early stages of this project and will be making improvements along the way. The goal of this page is to connect the public with useful information pertaining to the great work done by the Oregon State Police. We value the publics feedback and want to know what they think. Any suggestions, comments or questions can be emailed to ask.osp@state.or.us.
