🔧🚙 June is Automotive Service Professionals Month! 🚙🔧

Behind every sheriff’s patrol vehicle, road maintenance truck and County vehicle on the road is a team helping keep it safe and ready to go.

Lane County’s Fleet Services Division manages and services hundreds of vehicles and pieces of equipment each year, keeping the wheels turning for departments and programs across the County. Their work helps ensure employees have reliable vehicles and equipment to serve our community every day.

From routine maintenance and repairs to diagnostics and problem-solving, their skill and dedication keep critical services moving.

This month, join us in thanking our Fleet Services team for the important work they do behind the scenes. 👏

Today we recognize Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and honors the resilience, achievements, and contributions of Black Americans throughout history.

Juneteenth is both a celebration and a reminder of the ongoing work to build communities where freedom, opportunity, and dignity are shared by all.

Lane County is committed to fostering a community where everyone feels seen, valued, and supported. We are a proud supporter of the third annual Juneteenth Gathering hosted by B.L.A.Q. Youth taking place today from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Farmer’s Market Pavilion in downtown Eugene.

🌍 June is Immigrant Heritage Month 🌍

Oregon has long been home to Indigenous peoples whose communities, cultures, and stewardship of this land stretch back thousands of years. Over generations, people from around the world also came to Oregon from somewhere else and helped build communities, businesses, farms, neighborhoods, and traditions that continue to enrich our state today.

This month, we celebrate the many contributions of immigrants in Lane County and across Oregon — as workers, entrepreneurs, artists, caregivers, educators, public servants, neighbors, and friends.

Immigrant Heritage Month is also an opportunity to recognize the strength, resilience, and diverse experiences that make our communities more vibrant and connected.

We are grateful for the people and cultures that help make Oregon home. 💚

June is Search and Rescue Month!

Lane County Search and Rescue is powered by more than 160 trained volunteers and a small team of staff dedicated to serving our community when help is needed most.

Last year, they logged:
🔍 141 missions
⏱️ 19,000+ hours of training, meetings, public events, and mission response

These highly trained volunteers support a wide range of operations, including:
🏞️ Searching for missing or lost people in wilderness areas
🩺 Providing medical care in environments where traditional EMS cannot always reach
🔥 Assisting during emergencies and disasters, including wildfires

SAR volunteers serve in one or more units: Ground Search & Rescue, Eugene Mountain Rescue, Special Vehicles Group, Lane County Amateur Radio Operators, Water Search & Rescue Unit, Pacific Northwest Search Dogs, and the Youth Program

A sincere thank you to the volunteers and coordinators with the Lane County Sheriff's Office who support this work year-round. Their dedication means help can reach people in some of the most difficult moments and places.
