2019 Shop with a Sheriff Program

Donations are now being accepted for the 2019 Shop with a Sheriff Program. Donations great and small are accepted with gratitude; Patron Level donations will include recognition here on our website, as well as our Facebook and Instagram pages. Gifts to this program are tax-deductible as a charitable contribution and 100% of the money raised goes toward supporting the program – no tax dollars are spent on this program, so we rely on the support of our fellow Yamhill County citizens and friends.

The children who benefit are identified through the administration of the participating schools - Amity Elementary School, Amity Middle School, Amity High School, Dayton Grade School, Dayton Junior High, Dayton High School, Faulconer-Chapman School, Sheridan High School, Willamina Elementary School, Willamina Middle and High School, Yamhill Carlton Elementary School, Yamhill Carlton Intermediate School, Yamhill Carlton High School, and Wascher Elementary. Last year, we were able to help bring joy to 57 participating children.

The program includes an employee of the Sheriff’s Office or a neighboring agency who accompanies a child to Walmart McMinnville, where each child receives a credit of $100 to spend in the store. The primary goal is to allow children the opportunity to shop for their families and to also buy a gift for themselves. After shopping, volunteers wrap the children’s presents while the children chat with their shopping partners. Shoppers also are offered a take-home meal after shopping. After the presents are wrapped, all that’s left is the joy of Christmas morning. Your support to help bring joy to a local child this Christmas is greatly appreciated. More information on how to donate is available by visiting our Shop with a Sheriff page.

New Online Crime Reporting Tool Available

Yamhill County Sheriff's Office now has an online Crime Reporting Tool available for individuals to initiate reports of non-emergency/not-in-progress crimes. Note: If this is an EMERGENCY or a CRIME IN PROGRESS, do not file your report online. Call 911.

If you have been a victim of one of the Online Reportable Crimes, you may submit the your information through our Online Crime Reporting Tool. Please do not make your report in two places. To reduce confusion, individuals who file a report online should not also call the non-emergency line and file the same report. If you submit an online report and do not receive a response within five (5) business days, please contact Yamhill County Sheriff's Office at 503/434-7506 to inquire about its status.

  **If the crime you are wanting to report occurred within the city limits of Newberg, Dundee, Carlton, Yamhill, or McMinnville, please contact that police department instead of submitting this form to Yamhill County Sheriff's Office as we do not have primary jurisdiction in these cities.**
