SPD Launches Interactive Law Enforcement Provider Map

The Springfield Police Department is excited to share a new web-based resource for community members in the Springfield area. Our department recognizes the challenges associated with knowing ‘who to call’ in certain areas in and surrounding Springfield.                                                                 

With that in mind, we worked to launch an interactive map that shows which Law Enforcement Agency to contact in non-emergency situations. In case of emergency, you should always dial 911. This new map allows community members to search via address, as well as cursor controlled selection. This allows you to see which agency’s jurisdictional boundaries cover any address in the greater Springfield area.

This map only covers law enforcement service providers. If you have questions about code compliance or utilities services, you should visit the newly launch ‘Springfield Map Hub’.

You can explore the Springfield Area Law Enforcement Provider map underneath the ‘Contact Us’ & ‘How Do I’ tabs.

During the week of September 25th, 2023, the Springfield Police Crime Reduction Unit (CRU) worked with loss prevention personnel from the Springfield Target store on Gateway Street to run a mission specifically addressing retail theft. During a four-hour period, ten people were arrested for stealing various items to include wide range of products to include electronics, clothing, housewares, personal care items and food. None of the people arrested made any attempt to pay for the items they had taken from inside the store. Most of the individuals were cited to appear in the Springfield Municipal Court to be held accountable for their actions. One of the people arrested for theft also had outstanding arrest warrants and was taken into custody without incident.This is the second retail theft mission SPD has engaged in recently and more are planned for the near future. The Springfield Police Department is committed to and focused on addressing criminal activity in our city, including retail theft. The SPD Crime Reduction Unit will continue to work alongside of community partners to identify problems, collaborate on effective ways to address them, and then take action to improve the safety, security, and livability of Springfield.If you would like more information on ways to partner with SPD, please contact us at police@springfield-or.gov. ...

As officers approached the vehicle, the driver sped away from the stop location and a vehicle pursuit began. Officers contacted multiple partner agencies in the area as the vehicle reached high speeds and began traveling northbound on I-5. A spike strip was successfully deployed by an Oregon State Police Trooper near the Beltline overpass, causing the vehicle to slow its speed. The vehicle then attempted to drive the wrong way on the I-5 northbound onramp near Coburg, nearly striking an on-coming semi-truck. A pursuing SPD officer successfully deployed a PIT maneuver, immobilizing the vehicle. The driver and passenger of the vehicle exited and began running from the scene, with the passenger running across multiple lanes of I-5 traffic. Two of the pursuing SPD officers deployed their K9s to assist in the apprehension of the suspects. K9 Kirby and his handler were able to quickly locate the passenger, Donald Miller, and take him into custody without incident. K9 Gryff and his handler began pursuing the driver of the vehicle, who fled through multiple lanes of traffic, on-foot. K9 Gryff was able to apprehend the suspect shortly after and the driver, Zachary Luke, was taken into custody. Multiple personnel from the Lane County Sheriff’s Office and the Oregon State Police assisted in the pursuit and apprehension of the suspects. An initial search of the vehicle revealed multiple, readily accessible firearms and over five ounces of suspected fentanyl, which is the equivalent of over 70,000 lethal doses. Both Luke and Miller were wanted in relation to parole violations and were lodged at the Lane County Jail. This investigation is still ongoing and additional charges are pending.
