In August of 2015 the Corvallis Police Department implemented the Community Livability Unit which was developed to address chronic criminal behaviors which negatively impact the community and to improve livability. Since then, the team has grown from three officers to a total of five, which has increased its ability to effectively address criminal conduct throughout the community.
The Community Livability Unit is under the Professional Standards and Support Division and managed by Captain Ryan Eaton.
The Office of the Chief is responsible for the overall administration of the Police Department. Corvallis Police Chief Jason Harvey is the liaison for Municipal Court, State and Federal law enforcement; public and media relations; strategic planning; communication between the Department and the City Manager's Office, City Council, and community to ensure responsiveness to community priorities; and provides internal leadership and staff development.
Imagine raising a family in a thriving city that ranks high in livability — and working in a force where community policing is a priority.

The Corvallis Police Department maintains a police cadet unit comprised of citizen volunteers to enhance the police-community partnership and provide auxiliary resources in support of policing activities. The program is designed to provide an introduction to law enforcement to those interested in pursuing a career in this rewarding profession. Cadets who desire to continue in the law enforcement profession are encouraged to apply with the Department once they turn 21.
The Community Services Division, or uniformed patrol, is the "back-bone" or primary service delivery team of the police department. It comprises all of the uniformed police officers, detectives, crime analysis, community service officers, parking enforcement officers, K9 patrol officers and traffic/motorcycle officers.
The Community Services Division is divided into specialty areas to more effectively meet the needs of the community. They are as follows:
