The Monmouth Police Department has partnered with Civic Informer to launch a new public resource for following police activity in Monmouth, Oregon. Residents, students, and businesses can now view weekly reports of Monmouth Police Department activity, explore where the department responds, and subscribe to a free weekly email delivered every Monday.
What is Civic Informer?
Civic Informer is a public safety information platform that partners with police departments and other public safety agencies to make public records accessible and easy to follow. For Monmouth, Civic Informer publishes event data provided by the Monmouth Police Department as a weekly report, an interactive map, and a Monday email. Each report also shows how events started: through 911, by phone, or by officers in the field. Civic Informer is an additional resource for the community. It does not replace the Monmouth Police Department's existing communication channels, emergency notifications, or public records processes.
How to use Civic Informer Monmouth
The site is available at civicinformer.com/monmouth. From there, residents can:
- Read the weekly report, published every Monday, which summarizes the previous seven days of Monmouth Police Department events and compares them to the week before.
- Review how events started, with each report showing how many came through 911, came in by phone, or were initiated by officers.
- Use the interactive map to see where the Monmouth Police Department responds. Locations are generalized to the block or nearest intersection, never an exact address.
- Review past reports to follow trends in Monmouth over time.
Get the Monmouth weekly report by email
The Monmouth weekly email delivers a summary of each published report directly to subscribers' inboxes every Monday, with links back to Civic Informer for the full report, the map, and details on individual events.
