The Tigard Police Commercial Crimes Unit (CCU) is the only one of its kind in Oregon, and perhaps on the entire West Coast.

Nationally recognized for their expertise in investigating commercial business crimes, CCU detectives follow up on a range of crimes affecting the Tigard business community. This may include theft, robbery, burglary, organized retail theft, embezzlement, fraud, counterfeit and other types of crime. Many of these cases can take months to investigate and often involve coordination with other law enforcement agencies, not only in Oregon, but also across state lines.

Founded in 2007 and initially staffed by patrol officers, CCU has grown over the years to become a detective unit consisting of three detectives and a detective sergeant. The team not only responds to calls in progress but also provides investigative follow up on cases. Uniquely funded through business license fees, CCU regularly meets with business leaders, loss prevention workers and Tigard Chamber of Commerce members to present crime prevention strategies, discuss local concerns and address questions. Thanks to their dedication, many of their cases are resolved with arrests and prosecution.

CCU detectives participate in the Northwest Fraud Investigators Association, the Metro Area Fraud Investigator Association and helped establish the Oregon Retail Crime Association Network.
