About the Rogue River Police Department

The Rogue River Police Department is located at 133 Broadway. There are five officers and several reserve officers. The department patrols the city limits and is often engaged in assisting all other law enforcement agencies in the area. Rogue River is protected not only by the five-member city police department, but also by the Jackson County Sheriff's Office and the Oregon State Police.

 

In the early 19th century, before the first European American settlers arrived, the river valley was inhabited by the Shasta, Takelma, and Rogue River tribes of Native Americans. The early fur traders named this river the "River of the Rogues". A flood of white settlers began to arrive in the valley after the Donation Land Act, which allocated 320 acres (2.6 km˛) of land to each married couple. Between 1836 and 1856, the valley was the scene of a series of bloody conflicts between white settlers and the Rogue River tribe. In 1851 gold was discovered in the nearby mountains. The mining activity was centered on the now-restored town of Jacksonville west of Medford. At the peak of the gold rush some $70 million was extracted from the Rogue.

 

The city has a current population of 1847 in the city proper. It has an elected mayor and city council featuring five elected council members as well as a City Administrator and other appointed posts including finance, public works, budgetary, planning and community relations commissions.

Kenneth R. Lewis, the chief of police of the Rogue River Police Department (Oregon), began his law enforcement career with the Spokane Police Department (Washington) in 1972.  During his over 30 years in law enforcement he has been a patrol officer, deputy sheriff, detective, sergeant and for the last 17 years, chief of police. 

 

Kenneth’s book, Little Blue Whales “is taut psychological thriller about a random and sadistic killer stalking the summer beaches of Oregon.  One reader noted, “Having lived on the southern Oregon coast for over 6 years I've come to love living in a small town despite all its quirks.  Kenneth R. Lewis has captured the atmosphere of the Oregon coast and its small towns brilliantly in this debut novel.  And having worked as a citizen volunteer for a couple law enforcement agencies, I can say his characterizations are dead on as well.  In almost every aspect of life you have the good guys and bad guys duking it out (sometimes physically) for power and I cheered to myself when good won out over evil in "Little Blue Whales." The story is chock-full of action, suspense, romance and, yes, wide-eyed terror.  I read all 450+ pages in two sittings and literally could not put it down once I picked it up the second time.  I finished it around 1:00 in the morning and it was well worth losing sleep over.  I urge you to NOT miss this book!  I can't wait for a sequel!”
