-DOUGLAS INTERAGENCY NARCOTICS TEAM COMPLETES FIRST ROUND OF TARGETED PATROLS IN ROSEBURG-

The Douglas Interagency Narcotics Team (DINT) has completed its first round of targeted enforcement patrols in the City of Roseburg, following community concerns about criminal activity in key areas of the city.

Throughout early 2026, the Douglas County Board of Commissioners (BOC) received input from community members and local businesses regarding increased criminal activity in downtown Roseburg, as well as in public parks and sports fields. The BOC relayed these concerns to the team. DINT had also independently received ongoing reports of narcotics-related activity in the same areas.

While DINT’s primary focus remains identifying and investigating high-level drug distributors in Douglas County, the agency’s mission includes working collaboratively with the community, businesses, and law enforcement partners to reduce illegal narcotics activity and maintain a safe environment for residents. Based on the information gathered and its specialized investigative capabilities, DINT determined it could effectively contribute to addressing these localized concerns.

In coordination with the BOC, DINT developed a plan to conduct targeted enforcement operations without disrupting DINT’s other ongoing investigations. The BOC provided funding and support to implement this enforcement.

DINT met with the Roseburg Police Department (RPD) and discussed crime areas and issues in which the department was responding to. With this information, DINT partnered with the RPD, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO), and the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office to carry out the operation.

Between March 31, 2026, and early April 2026, DINT conducted four days of targeted enforcement, with each operation lasting approximately four to five hours. Enforcement efforts focused on the downtown, Harvard, and Garden Valley areas of Roseburg.

As a result of these operations, multiple arrests were made involving charges such as Felony Theft I, Unlawful Use of a Motor Vehicle, Possession of Methamphetamine, and Delivery of Methamphetamine. The following cases were among those addressed:

DINT 26-0048: 1 arrest – Disorderly Conduct / Possession of Methamphetamine
DINT 26-0049: 1 arrest – Theft I / Unlawful Use of a Motor Vehicle
DINT 26-0050: 1 arrest – Theft I / Unlawful Use of a Motor Vehicle / Possession of Methamphetamine
DINT 26-0052: 1 arrest – Theft I / Unlawful Use of a Motor Vehicle
DINT 26-0053: 1 arrest – Theft I / Unlawful Use of a Motor Vehicle / Delivery and Possession of Methamphetamine
DINT 26-0055: 1 arrest – Theft I / Unlawful Use of a Motor Vehicle / Possession of Methamphetamine
DINT 26-0056: 3 pending arrests – Criminal Trespass II / Theft III / Littering / Possession of Methamphetamine
DINT 26-0057: 1 arrest – Theft I / Unlawful Use of a Motor Vehicle / Possession of Methamphetamine
DINT 26-0058: 1 arrest – Theft I / Unlawful Use of a Motor Vehicle / Possession of Methamphetamine
DINT 26-0059: 1 arrest – Outstanding Warrants (2) / False Information to Police / Identity Theft / Delivery and Possession of Methamphetamine

All cases are being prosecuted by the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office, with investigative assistance from RPD and DCSO.

During the operations, detectives were contacted by numerous community members and business owners who reported recent incidents of theft, vandalism, and related criminal activity within the targeted areas.

The enforcement effort had an immediate impact, with increased awareness of law enforcement presence in the area contributing to disruption of criminal activity.

DINT wants to emphasize that these operations will continue.

“Individuals engaging in criminal activity should be aware that targeted enforcement efforts will remain ongoing. DINT will continue working closely with our local partners to enhance public safety and maintain a secure environment for the residents of Douglas County.”
