About this guide

Clackamas County, Oregon, has about 426,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Clackamas County depends on where the incident happened: the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Oregon Public Records Law requires of it.

This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Clackamas County

The report of an incident is released by the agency that took it; the court and the jail hold their own records of the same event, but not the report.

In Clackamas County that is the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.

The FBI's list also places the Clackamas County State Police in Clackamas County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.

The FBI's list also carries the Clackamas County Liquor Commission (state agency), with a records office of its own.

The Tualatin Police Department and the Portland Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Clackamas County, so their arrests are not broken out for Clackamas County here.
