A “Reel” Emergency at the Umatilla Marina
On July 29, 2026, Detective Sergeant Capers responded to a report of a sinking boat at the Umatilla Marina. If there's a boat involved, Sgt. Capers is usually the one who gets the call. If he's not at work, chances are he's on a boat, working on a boat, or thinking about boats.

Upon arrival, he found an 18-foot Alumaweld nearly submerged. The entire bow was underwater and being held up only by the mooring lines. Thanks to the boat's built-in flotation, the transom and outboard motor remained above the water. Although the bilge pump was still running, the boat had taken on so much water that it was no longer effective. At this point, Officer Skillman immediately began coordinating with marina staff on their response.

After pulling on the bow line and realizing the boat could be lifted, Sgt. Capers called for additional help. Fortunately, the two patrol officers on duty were the perfect team for the job. Officer Martinez, our jack-of-all-trades handyman, and Officer King, a military veteran and CrossFit gym owner, responded immediately.

With a little ingenuity from the boat owner, who rigged a rope system to provide better leverage, and plenty of muscle from Officer Martinez, Officer King, Sgt. Capers, and the owners, they were able to lift the bow out of the water. Once the bow was clear, they rounded up buckets from around the dock, and the owners began bailing water until the boat was floating safely once again.

The cause of the flooding was a livewell pump that had been left on and was not draining properly. It should be noted that there was no need for an environmental impact cleanup as no fuel or oil had leaked from the boat.

We would also like to thank the Umatilla County Sheriff's Office, who sent a deputy to assist.

We had a fantastic time meeting students at Nugent Park for a fun and educational summer school event alongside the Umatilla Fire Department! We introduced students to the fascinating world of fingerprints and forensic science.

Students had the opportunity to:

· Lift their own fingerprints from objects they chose and take them home.

· Create fingerprint cards using ink pads to see the unique patterns on their own fingertips.

· Compare their fingerprints to reference cards to identify common fingerprint patterns, such as loops, whorls, and arches.

It was exciting to see so much curiosity and enthusiasm as students discovered that no two fingerprints are exactly alike! Activities like these provide a hands-on way to learn about science while giving students a glimpse into how law enforcement uses forensic evidence during investigations.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us at Nugent Park, and to our partners at the Umatilla Fire Department for helping make the day such a success. We love opportunities to connect with our community and inspire the next generation through learning and fun!

¡La pasamos de maravilla conociendo a los estudiantes en el parque Nugent durante un evento de la escuela de verano, divertido y educativo, junto con el Departamento de Bomberos de Umatilla! Les presentamos a los estudiantes el fascinante mundo de las huellas dactilares y de la ciencia forense.

Los estudiantes tuvieron la oportunidad de:
Tomen sus propias huellas dactilares de los objetos que elijan y llévenlas a casa.
Creen tarjetas de huellas dactilares usando almohadillas de tinta para observar los patrones únicos de sus propias yemas.
Comparen sus huellas dactilares con tarjetas de referencia para identificar patrones comunes, como bucles, espirales y arcos.

¡Fue emocionante ver tanta curiosidad y entusiasmo cuando los estudiantes descubrieron que no hay dos huellas dactilares exactamente iguales! Actividades como estas ofrecen una forma práctica de aprender sobre la ciencia, al tiempo que permiten a los estudiantes conocer cómo las fuerzas del orden emplean pruebas forenses en sus investigaciones.

Muchísimas gracias a todos los que nos acompañaron en el parque Nugent y a nuestros socios del Departamento de Bomberos de Umatilla por ayudarnos a que el evento fuera todo un éxito. ¡Nos encanta tener la oportunidad de conectarnos con nuestra comunidad e inspirar a la próxima generación a través del aprendizaje y la diversión!

🚨 Slow Down, Umatilla 🚨
As part of the national speed enforcement effort, officers in Umatilla are increasing patrols to address speeding and aggressive driving.

👀 What this means for you:
• Increased traffic enforcement
• Extra focus on high-risk driving behaviors
• Citations for those driving over the limit

⚠️ Speeding reduces reaction time and increases crash severity. It’s not worth the risk.

Choose safety. Ease off the gas.

---

🚨 Reduzca la velocidad, Umatilla 🚨
Como parte de la campaña nacional de control de la velocidad, los agentes de Umatilla están intensificando las patrullas para hacer frente al exceso de velocidad y la conducción agresiva.

👀 Lo que esto significa para ti:
• Mayor control del tráfico
• Mayor atención a las conductas de conducción de alto riesgo
• Multas para quienes conduzcan por encima del límite

⚠️ El exceso de velocidad reduce el tiempo de reacción y aumenta la gravedad de los accidentes. No vale la pena correr el riesgo.

Elige la seguridad. Levanta el pie del acelerador.
