2023 Annual Report Message from (Former) Chief Kathy McAlpine

As I sit down to write this end-of-year update I can’t help but think back over my six and a half years as your Chief of Police.

At the end of 2023, I will officially retire from this department. I have started taking plaques and commendations off my wall, and the reality is setting in that this chapter of my life is really coming to an end.

It only feels appropriate to simply say THANK YOU.

Thank you to everyone in the Tigard community who I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, getting to know or connecting with on some level. I’ve heard from countless people with genuine praise for the Tigard Police Department, and to each of you, I am truly grateful. I have also heard from some in the community with reservations about our work (or law enforcement in general) over the years, and to each of you, I appreciate your courage to speak up and your willingness to listen and learn more. My hope is that the Tigard community understands that as a department, we consider ourselves guardians of this community who value all people, who lead with compassion and communicate with transparency. I am confident that these values will not change, regardless of who becomes your Chief of Police in the future.

A Chief is nothing, however, without the men and women of the department they represent.

There aren’t enough words to adequately express my deep appreciation for each person at the Tigard Police Department. Since I started here in 2017, we have shared many successes together, such as creating a Strategic Plan and earning accreditation (and subsequent re-accreditation) through the Oregon Accreditation Alliance. We have grown our professionalism through the creation of a full-time Professional Standards Sergeant and the development of the Police Transparency webpage (www.tigard-or.gov/transparency). We have handled an ever-growing number of calls for service, tackled complex investigations, said goodbye to friends who have retired and welcomed new officers to our fold. Through it all – even on the most difficult days – we have worked together and continue to hold ourselves to the highest standards. We have shared memories, laughter and stories that will stay with me for years to come.  

As I begin my next professional chapter at the state level as the Deputy Director of Professional Standards for the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST), I will think back on my time here with fondness.

Leading the Tigard Police Department and serving the wider Tigard community has been a treasured season in my life. I could not have done it without each and every one of you.

Sincerely,

Chief Kathy McAlpine
