Enhanced Law Enforcement District (ELED)

About the ELED

The Clackamas County Enhanced Law Enforcement District (ELED) was approved by voters in November 1994.

The ELED provides an improved level of patrol services in the unincorporated area of Clackamas County within the Metro urban growth boundary.

The ELED is large and segmented, encompassing diverse communities — each presenting its own particular needs, challenges and opportunities.
