Eugene, OR – At the Eugene Marathon Expo, the Eugene Police Department had a fantastic opportunity to engage with runners and community members from around the world. Over the course of the event, police recruiters were on hand to speak with individuals interested in joining the police force, showcasing the path to becoming a police officer with the department. The marathon provided a great backdrop for promoting law enforcement careers and building stronger connections with the public.

His commitment to both the community and the role of a police officer was a powerful demonstration of service, and it didn’t go unnoticed. His dedication and enthusiasm were celebrated by those who witnessed his run, inspiring many with his spirit and drive.

With recruitment efforts in full swing, the department is looking for dedicated individuals who are passionate about making a positive impact in the community.
The event also gave the public a chance to interact with police officers in a more informal and personal setting. Attendees were able to ask questions, learn more about the role of police officers in Eugene, and find out about the ongoing efforts to strengthen the community through law enforcement partnerships. Through such outreach events, the Eugene Police Department hopes to continue fostering trust and cooperation between officers and the people they serve.
