Getting Started

Police Records Unit

The Corvallis Police Department Records Unit's charge is to serve the community and staff with information regarding police reports and other police records. Records staff provide front counter public reception, report review, report control, release of public information, records maintenance, data entry and records retrieval. The Records Unit controls the availability and confidentiality of all reports and records and maintains and distributes copies of records to authorized persons/agencies.

Request Public Records

The vast majority of records generated by the City of Corvallis (including elected officials and City staff) are considered public records under state laws and are available for inspection by the public.

Many records generated by routine City business, such as permits, annual reports, and meeting minutes, are available on the City website. Some records may be stored in the City's online archive. Other records may not be stored on the City website, but are available upon request.

Historic Walking Tour - Corvallis Benton County Public Library

Significance

The Corvallis Public Library Building is the culmination of years of work by members of the Corvallis Coffee Club, the Corvallis Woman's Club, and other community members. Unlike many other communities of comparable size, Corvallis did not have a Carnegie Library. Funds for the current library were raised solely by the community; an achievement which points to the value placed on the pursuit of knowledge. 

Historic Walking Tour - Central Park

Significance

Former site of three schools, the earliest of which was built in 1861.
