Hillsboro Police Department, Municipal police station in Hillsboro, Oregon, United States
The Hillsboro Police Department is the municipal police station serving the city of Hillsboro in Oregon, in the United States. It handles law enforcement for the city and serves as the main point of contact for residents and visitors who need police assistance.
The Hillsboro Police Department was established as the city grew from a small 19th-century settlement into the county seat of Washington County. The rapid growth of the tech industry in the area from the 1990s onward brought a large increase in population, which led to a significant expansion of the department.
The Hillsboro Police Department works closely with the large Spanish-speaking community in the area, and bilingual services are available at the front desk. This reflects the makeup of the city, where many residents speak Spanish as a first language.
The station is open to the public and can be visited in person for non-emergency matters such as filing a report or asking for information. For urgent situations, calling ahead or using the emergency line is the better option, as not all services are available as walk-ins.
Hillsboro is home to one of Intel's largest campuses in the United States, which means the local police department serves a notably international workforce alongside the general population. This makes it an unusually diverse municipal force for a city of its size.
