What happens when the police show up?

 

This is adapted from a Eugene Police Department publication from October 2007

Welcome to Eugene!

The Eugene Police Department welcomes students to the community.

Over the past several years partnerships have been formed between many agencies and organizations to provide a safe, positive living environment for students residing in Eugene, especially in the University of Oregon campus area.

In past years, many parties hosted in and around the campus area have resulted in complaints from neighbors and required police response.

Some significant problems have included street parties involving intoxicated individuals, assaults resulting in injuries to students and police officers, damage to public and private property, and noise disturbances involving yelling and/or loud music.

Eugene Police maintain a visible presence in the campus area to conduct education, intervention and enforcement.

Individuals violating ordinances or state law are subject to citation, physical arrest, and/or civil fines.

Alcohol and noise violations are chronic issues and are specifically targeted.

Some of the most frequently violated ordinances and laws are summarized below.

We hope this information will help you make responsible choices about partying in Eugene.
