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.

Cost of the ELED (FY 2024-25)

The permanent tax rate of $0.7198 per thousand assessed value is used to assess taxes on properties lying within District boundaries.

The ELED projected tax revenue for FY2022-23 is $8,671,188, which represents a $228,530 increase (or 2.70%) from the 2023-24 fiscal year’s budgeted tax collection revenue of $8,442,658. Additional revenue sources totaling $253,886 raise the total FY2024-25 proposed ELED operating budget to $8,925,074

Major ELED budget items (FY 2024-25)

  • $6,852,587 to fund personnel costs for 36 positions — 29 Deputies, 6 Sergeants, and 1 Lieutenant. This figure includes salary, fringe benefits, overtime, holiday pay and worker’s compensation costs;
  • $297,414 for Professional Services, which constitutes the ELED’s share of the cost for dispatching services provided by C-COM;

2024 National Family Violence Warrant Sweep

AGENCIES ARE  INVITED TO JOIN A NATIONWIDE FAMILY-VIOLENCE  WARRANT SWEEP.

This fall, the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office leads its 21st-Annual Family Violence Warrant Sweep
Law-enforcement agencies are once again invited to join this nationwide warrant sweep.

HOW IT WORKS:

Each October, as part of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Sheriff’s Office joins forces with agencies across the U.S. to locate and arrest persons with outstanding family violence warrants. 

IT’S A BIG EFFORT WITH TWO GOALS: 

  1. Remind offenders that no matter where they flee, we will hold them accountable. 
  2. Raise awareness of family violence in our communities.
     

BRINGING OFFENDERS TO JUSTICE FOR OVER TWO DECADES.

The Family Violence Warrant Sweep is a day-long event. Your agency — along with agencies across the United States — attempts to serve outstanding family-violence warrants on a set date in the fall of 2024.

LAST YEAR, 214 AGENCIES IN 16 STATES JOINED THE EFFORT. 

Law-enforcement personnel worked with probation departments, district attorney's offices, shelter organizations, and community members.

THOUSANDS OF ARRESTS

In the two decades since the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office founded the Warrant Sweep, thousands of participants across the U.S. have attempted to serve over 129,000 warrants and made over 17,600 arrests.

Cold Cases

There is no statute of limitations on the crime of murder -- and no homicide investigated by the Sheriff's Office is ever closed until it is resolved. Long after the original investigators have retired, these cases may remain open.

Our detectives continue to pursue leads in murders, missing-person cases, and unidentified remains. The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office seeks your help in developing new leads and finding new information that can assist in bringing these difficult cases to resolution.
