Police
The McMinnville Police Department equips and maintains three K-9 teams. These teams consist of a designated patrol Officer “Handler”, and their K-9 partner. The Police Department currently has one patrol/tracking K-9 teams and two drug detection K-9 teams.
During a recent death investigation, a McMinnville police officer discovered that the deceased was a veteran. In an effort to show respect, both to the deceased veteran and to the surviving family, this officer left the scene, purchased a national flag and returned to the residence. The flag was placed respectfully over the deceased veteran for the transport from the residence to the funeral home.

Police Chaplains are local pastors or ministers that volunteer to assist the officers of the police department and to provide assistance at critical events and for emergency notifications to families.
The purpose of this program is to allow business owners or managers to report cold shoplift/theft/criminal mischief incidents and submit their report, along with any evidence, to the police department for follow up.
