Pine \ Street, Portland and satellite laboratories established at Pendleton, Eugene, Medford, North Bend and Ontario. All members, by necessity, worked on felony crimes and a cooperative effort was maintained between city and the county law enforcement officers as their respective complements were inadequate to cope with the increasing police problems. Many city police officers held Deputy Sheriff's commissions and they frequently assisted our members in apprehending fugitives even though it took them outside the city of their respective jurisdictions. The same cooperative effort is still maintained by the Department with local and county enforcement agencies. , ..... jj iii ------~-.- --"--
