Washington County District Attorney's Office Launches New Campaign to Protect Area Businesses

The Washington County District Attorney's Office, on behalf of the Washington County Interagency Organized Retail Theft Taskforce, has secured $1,545,487 in grant funding from the State of Oregon to support efforts to combat organized retail theft and shoplifting across the county. This represents the largest award of grant funding in Oregon for the Organized Retail Theft Grant Program and outpaced the second-largest award by more than $800,000.

We are using this funding to produce and distribute a public service announcement warning that theft and shoplifting will be prosecuted in Washington County. These funds will also be used to distribute shoplifting warning signs to area businesses and to help qualifying businesses upgrade their security systems.

If you'd like to request a sign or want more information about funds available for security system upgrades, please email us.
