What a special night in Camas. 🇺🇸

On Friday, nearly 2,000 people gathered at Doc Harris Stadium for Camas High School Volleyball’s first outdoor match and a special tribute marking 25 years since September 11, 2001.

CCSO joined several local public safety agencies in a first-responder procession. The tribute also included an Honor Guard presentation of the colors, a moment of silence for those lost on 9/11 and in the years that followed, and the National Anthem performed with the Camas High School band.

A special shoutout to CCSO Deputy Clint Fraser, who helped bring the tribute together. For Clint and his wife, September 11 is deeply personal. They were across the street from the World Trade Center when it was attacked, witnessed the events unfold, and ran to escape as the towers collapsed. With his daughter playing for Camas varsity volleyball, Dep. Fraser saw an opportunity to make the September 11 match about something bigger. With the school’s support, he helped organize the tribute and procession.

Thank you to Camas High School for bringing our community together for such a meaningful evening. And congratulations to the Camas Papermakers on the win — and the Ridgefield Spudders on a hard-fought match! 🏐

👮‍♀️ Happy National Police Woman Day!

Today, we’re proud to recognize the incredible women serving throughout the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.

They are patrol deputies, detectives, School Resource Officers, crisis negotiators, and more. They protect the most vulnerable, volunteer in our community, and help keep Clark County safe every day.

Some are brand new to patrol. Others have built legacy careers serving this community. Many are mothers raising families while answering the call to serve.

They each bring something different to CCSO — and we’re grateful for every one of them. 💪🚔

In his hands, CCSO Commander Chris Skidmore is holding a photo of himself taken just a few months before September 11, 2001.

He was 19 years old, a Private First Class and combat medic stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas. When he joined the Army, the country was nearly a decade removed from Desert Storm, and he entered military service during what felt like peacetime. He had no idea how much the world — and the course of his own life — was about to change.

On the morning of September 11, Skidmore had just finished working sick call and was eating breakfast in the dining facility when news coverage began showing the attacks on the World Trade Center.

Less than a month later, Operation Enduring Freedom began in Afghanistan. Skidmore would go on to deploy to Iraq in 2003, Afghanistan in 2005–2006, and Iraq again in 2009–2010.

For him, as for so many others, September 11 became a dividing line between life before and life after the attacks.

Twenty-five years later, his thoughts are still with those who never came home, and with the countless lives forever changed in the years that followed.

“So many made the ultimate sacrifice in service of this country, or carry the scars and wounds of war from 20 years of combat operations," Commander Skidmore said. "I can’t think of another event than 9/11 that has had more impact on my generation.”

Today, as we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, we also remember the many lives shaped by what followed — the service members and their families who answered a call they could not have imagined before that day.

We will never forget.

25 years.

For so many of us, the memory of September 11, 2001, is still vivid. We remember where we were, what we were doing, and the moment we learned our nation was under attack.

What followed was unimaginable loss and heartbreak — but also extraordinary courage, compassion, and unity. Americans came together. We mourned together. We helped one another. And we moved forward together.

Today, we remember the passengers and crew members aboard the four flights. We remember those who went to work that morning at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. We remember the first responders who answered the call and ran toward danger to help others.

We remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost, the families who never saw their loved ones come home, and all those whose lives were forever changed.

Twenty-five years later, we remember not only what we lost, but how we came together.

We will never forget. 🇺🇸

It’s a good day at work when you get to spend some time out on the water! 🚤👮

Our Neighborhood Police Officers were conducting a premise check along Lower River Road when they spotted a couple of boats floating in the flushing channel. After checking the plates, they discovered one of the boats had been reported stolen out of Portland.

Our good friends from the CCSO Marine Unit showed up to lend a helping hand, providing a boat so our officers could get out to the stolen boat, board it and tow it back. 🤝

After a little teamwork, the boat was back in the hands of its rightful owner! 👏

🚫Don’t drink and drive.⚖️

Deputy Gelvick stopped a driver after observing signs of impairment. During the stop, the driver put her vehicle in reverse and struck his patrol car. 🚔

The driver later produced a .210 BAC — nearly three times the legal limit. She was arrested and booked into the Clark County Jail for DUI.

Please: make a plan before you drink. A sober ride home can prevent a tragedy.

A pilot was unhurt after this 1944 Stampe biplane flipped over while making an emergency landing at Grove Airfield in Camas this afternoon.

The pilot reported smoke in the cockpit before attempting to land. The plane bounced during the landing, damaging the landing gear before coming to rest upside down.

🚔Deputy Tyler Daws has officially hit the road! After completing his field training, Deputy Daws is now patrolling Clark County on his own — and in his own Tahoe! 👏

Before joining CCSO, Deputy Daws served as a federal officer with U.S. Customs and Border Protection and spent two years as a law enforcement officer in North Dakota.

He chose this career because he’s always been the person others turn to for help — even as a kid. Supporting friends through tough moments showed him how meaningful it can be to be there for others, and he wanted to make a career out of doing just that. He now enjoys getting to know Clark County while helping people when they need it most.

Off duty, you can find him bird hunting with his dog, golfing year-round or spending time in the mountains. 🐕⛳

Way to go, Deputy Daws! If you see him out on patrol, give him a wave! 👋
