The Union County Sheriff’s Office mission is to provide
Professional Law Enforcement
Service with Honesty, Excellence, Respect, Integrity, Firmness, Fairness
and with Compassion and Valor to the citizens of Union County!
Sheriff Boyd Rasmussen
As Sheriff we welcome you to Union County and all it has to offer citizens. If you live here or are thinking about visiting we hope you enjoy our beautiful County and feel safe here. We have a fully functioning patrol staff to handle all varieties of emergency and non-emergency calls for service. Our Search and Rescue Unit is a very active and highly trained organization of volunteer citizens, which we call on frequently to assist those in need. We utilize Reserve Patrol and Correctional Deputies to assist our full-time Staff. We invite you to apply for our programs if you have an interest in Law Enforcement.
The County Commissioners feel that Law Enforcement is an important part of a safe, livable county and have supported our efforts by allowing us the funding needed to have well trained, equipped, and professional Deputies. We work closely with and appreciate the efforts of our partnering agencies, the La Grande Police Department and the Oregon State Police. Again, thank you for your support of the Sheriff’s Office.

Our front lobby is now open for business. We are taking boat license/registrations and dog licenses at the counter. Effective June 1st we will start fingerprinting the public again at the same times as before (check under the civil tab for the times) We will also begin accepting new CHLs, along with renewals that need fingerprinting and changes of address that require fingerprints. We will ONLY do these by appointment and only outside our other designated fingerprint times. You can call (541) 963-1017 or email sshaffer@union-county.org to make an appointment.
To maintain social distancing we are only allowing 4 people at a time in our lobby. If there are 4 people in the lobby please wait in the hallway until someone leaves. Thank you and we appreciate your patience.
Union County is still being hit hard by scammers and robocallers. One of the more “popular” scams right now is the Social Security scam. We’ve also gotten calls about winning the lottery, Publisher’s Clearing House and credit cards.
Remember… Social Security will NEVER call you and ask for your personal information! If you haven’t entered a lottery or Publisher’s Clearing House you can’t have won anything. And if they tell you that you have to send money to claim your prize, then you know it’s a scam!
NEVER give the caller any personal information. Your best action is to simply hang up.If possible, block the number on your phone.
If you would like to file a complaint call the Oregon Department of Justice at 877-877-9392 or visit their website at www.oregonconsumer.gov. Unfortunately there is nothing local law enforcement can do to assist you because these calls do not originate in Union County.
