Help plan the future public safety in Klamath County and have your voice heard! The Citizens for Public Safety committee is forming now and is looking for members and/or input from the community. The committee will meet as a large group and eventually break into 5 sub-groups including:
- Fire Services (Fire Districts, Oregon State Regional Hazardous Material Response Team 4, State and Federal Wildland Fire Agencies)
- Corrections (Jail, Juvenile, and Community Corrections)
- Health Services (Ambulance Service Providers, Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation, Mental Health, Public Health, Sky Lakes, Skilled Nursing Facilities)
- Law Enforcement (Patrol and Traffic Units, SWAT, SRO, SERT, Marine Patrol, Detectives)
- Emergency Management (Klamath County Emergency Management Agency, 9-1-1, all divisions of Search and Rescue, Type III Incident Management Team).
A representative of each public service agency will be represented. All concerned Klamath County citizens and media are encouraged to become involved.
Please check back often for more information. Public safety is in the hands of the citizens. The current economic climate leaves no choice but to face difficult decisions regarding priorities. Public Safety Providers should be guided by the will of the people. The ‘Citizens for Public Safety’ planning process will promote priorities of the public for how resources should be supported.;Needed are suggestions and ideas on how to efficiently and effectively deliver services in the likelihood of reduced available funding.
Questions and requests for interviews should be directed to steering committee spokesperson Kelley Minty Morris at 541-882-3198 or 541-891-0104. Concerned citizens can also share their thoughts and ideas via email.

The views and opinions expressed on this web page are those of the Citizen’s for Public Safety committee (CFPS) and do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions held by the Klamath County Chamber of Commerce membership. CFPS is an independent “ad hoc” organization made up of citizens and public safety agency representatives who worked together to develop strategic goals for the long term stability of overall public safety in Klamath County. The Klamath County Chamber of Commerce aided in the facilitation of the CFPS process and provides this public web space at no cost to the CFPS committee so citizens interested in the process have easy access to information in one place.
