City of Eugene seeks two citizen members for police commission

Eugene, OR – The City of Eugene is currently accepting applications for two interim citizen member positions on the Eugene Police Commission. Both positions will serve terms ending June 30, 2026.

The Eugene Police Commission is a volunteer advisory board composed of twelve members. Established by city ordinance in 1998, the commission provides guidance to the city council, police chief, and city manager on police policy and resource matters.

Its mission is to foster communication between the community and the police department, promote public understanding of police policies, and offer input that reflects community values.

While the commission does not handle complaints regarding individual officers, it aims to build mutual respect and partnership between the community and law enforcement to promote safety, justice, and freedom in Eugene.

Interested residents may apply online through June 25 at the city’s official website.
