We want to recognize an incredible partnership and extend our sincere gratitude to Spirit of Blue for awarding your Hubbard-Donald-Aurora Police Department a $23,942.43 grant for essential safety equipment and critical gear.

This grant is about much more than new equipment; it's an investment in the safety of our police officers and the communities we humbly serve. Through this generous grant, HDAPD was able to purchase critical equipment, including new patrol rifles and tourniquets, and safety lighting, just to mention a few things. This generous funding will help ensure our officers are better prepared to respond when our community needs us the most. Having the right tools and protective gear is essential to keeping our officers safe, effective, and ready for the challenges they face every day.

Partnerships like this truly make a difference. They demonstrate a shared commitment to public safety and a belief that investing in those who serve benefits our entire community. We are deeply appreciative of Spirit of Blue's generosity, their continued commitment to public safety, and the confidence they have placed in our department.

A special thank you to Ryan Smith, Executive Director of Spirit of Blue, for your leadership and support. Your dedication to strengthening public safety through partnerships like this has a lasting impact, and we are honored to work alongside you and an organization that shares our commitment to serving others.

On behalf of the men and women of the Hubbard-Donald-Aurora Police Department, thank you for helping keep us better protect and serve communities. We are truly grateful for your investment in our department and for making a meaningful difference where it matters most.

Your Hubbard-Donald-Aurora Police Department wishes everyone a safe and enjoyable Independence Day as we celebrate our nation's 250th anniversary.

We encourage the use of only legal fireworks and ask that everyone help reduce fire risk and prevent injuries in our community. HDAPD officers will be responding to reports of illegal or unsafe fireworks use.

Under Oregon law, illegal fireworks may be seized, and violations may result in citations, fines, or other penalties depending on the circumstances.

Please remember:

Use fireworks in open, safe areas. Keep water nearby, never relight malfunctioning fireworks, and fully extinguish and dispose of fireworks properly.

If you observe illegal fireworks or non-emergencies, contact dispatch at 503-538-8321. For emergencies, call 911.

Have a safe and responsible holiday.
