Crime Watch Program!

A unique crime watch program called County Watch  was designed in 1987 to add  more pairs of eyes looking out for residential and business properties within the cities of Marion County and West Salem; Polk County.  Garbage/Recycle Haulers receive ongoing official training from Marion County Sheriff Raul Ramirez on what to watch for in neighborhoods and business communities.  Our drivers are professionally trained by Sheriff Ramirez on procedures for reporting suspicious activities to the Sheriff's Department, City Police Stations, or Utility Companies.  Reports have included drunk drivers, general  road hazards, persons in trouble, suspicious activity, traffic accidents, and more!  Our procedure for reporting goes directly from our drivers to the appropriate authorities.
