Please join us in congratulating our newest Corporal, who was officially promoted today.

Corporal Jennings Stewart returned home to Grants Pass PD in 2025 after serving as a Police Officer and Sergeant with the Gilbert Police Department in Arizona.

Before his time in Arizona, Corporal Stewart served our community as a Grants Pass Police Officer for nearly a decade. He is a proud graduate of Grants Pass High School and the University of Oregon.

Today, his new badge was pinned on by his colleague, Corporal Brook Johnson.

Thank you, Corporal Stewart, for your continued commitment to our community and for stepping into this leadership role. We are proud to have you on our team.

The Grants Pass Police Department is saddened by the loss of Joe Henner, Senior. He served as one of our Auxiliary Volunteer Members for 18 years, from 1994 to 2012! He enjoyed handicap parking patrols, directing traffic during special events, and sharing his constant smile.

Joe is shown in this photo receiving an appreciation plaque from Deputy Chief Bill Landis. Standing behind them is his son, Chief Joe Henner.

Joe passed away at the age of 94. He left a remarkable legacy filled with love for family, an honorable work ethic, and immense love for his wife.

The Grants Pass Police Department honors Joe for his years of service to the City of Grants Pass.

The Grants Pass Police 911 Dispatch Center was notified of a crash in the 2700 block of Highland Avenue on June 2, 2026, at about 0815 hours. The caller reported two vehicles colliding in the roadway, with one of them catching fire after the crash. Bystanders provided help to the occupants in the time between the crash and the arrival of first responders. One of the motorists was confirmed deceased at the scene.

Grants Pass Police Detectives and a Grants Pass Police Crash Reconstructionist assisted with the investigation. It was determined that Gabriel Davis, a 22-year-old male, died when his car veered into oncoming traffic and struck another vehicle. The single occupant of the other car was transported to Three Rivers Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.

The investigation is complete, though anyone with information can call the police department at 541-450-6260.

We thank Grants Pass Fire/Rescue, Rural/Metro Fire, American Medical Response, the Josephine County Sheriff's Office, Josephine County Sheriff Volunteers, and Josephine County Medicolegal Death Investigator for their assistance at the scene.

*** Update: Highland Avenue is open. We appreciate the public’s assistance in finding alternate routes.

We are on scene of a serious crash on Highland Avenue in the 2800 block. During the investigation, the roadway will be closed to traffic. We will update when Highland Avenue is open to traffic.
