Gresham Police Department

Gresham Police Department provides police service for the City of Gresham, Oregon. Its Behavioral Health Unit pairs mental health clinicians with Gresham officers to co-respond to 911 calls involving a mental health concern. The unit's goals include reducing time in jail for Gresham residents living with severe mental illness and making follow-up visits after earlier police contact, and it is supported by a federal Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program grant. The department also invests in officer wellness, with support aimed at reducing stress after traumatic incidents. Residents can file some police reports online for incidents inside Gresham city limits; crimes that happened elsewhere go to the police in that city. The department frames its commitment around well-trained, ethically grounded officers and steady community engagement.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau (ACS 2023), Gresham city, OR has an estimated population of 112,818.
