County Of Jackson

Jackson County Sheriff's Office, a division of County of Jackson located in Central Point, Oregon, is a local government law enforcement entity that provides comprehensive public safety and security services to the federal government through federal contract and grant awards. The organization has established itself as a reliable partner for federal agencies requiring law enforcement support on federally managed lands and facilities throughout Oregon, delivering specialized services that protect federal resources, employees, visitors, and the general public across multiple jurisdictions and resource management objectives.

The Jackson County Sheriff's Office has secured three significant federal contract awards totaling approximately $1.4 million from multiple federal agencies. The most recent contract modification was awarded by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation on January 17, 2025, with a ceiling value of $191,644.10 for option year 1 of a firm fixed price purchase order. This contract provides year-round law enforcement and security patrol services on federal lands at Agate, Emigrant, Hyatt, and Howard Prairie Reservoirs, including enhanced law enforcement operations to manage visitor use and protect employees, facilities, the public, and natural resources across dam complexes, irrigation canals, resorts, campgrounds, and access roads through January 12, 2030. The organization also holds a substantial $1,094,052.13 contract with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), awarded on August 16, 2023, for law enforcement services on BLM-administered public lands in Jackson County with a performance period extending through September 30, 2028. This purchase order contract covers regular patrol of public lands and trails along with specialized support for drug enforcement, special events, and warrant service. Additionally, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded a $115,000 firm fixed price purchase order in September 2021 for law enforcement services in the Rogue River Basin and Applegate areas of Oregon, with completion scheduled for September 30, 2026. All three contracts were awarded without set-aside designations and reflect the Sheriff's Office's established capacity to deliver comprehensive law enforcement support across diverse federal land management agencies.

Through federal grant programs, Jackson County Sheriff's Office has received two significant awards focused on operational enhancements and professional development. The Bureau of Justice Assistance awarded a block grant to Jackson County on October 1, 2022, with a completion date of September 30, 2026, to fund technology improvements and equipment across Jackson County and the City of Medford. The Sheriff's Office specifically utilized these Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) funds to replace radios and further enhance communications capabilities. Additionally, the Community Oriented Policing Program (COPS) awarded the organization a project grant on September 1, 2021, for the Jackson County, Oregon Accreditation Project, which concluded on August 31, 2023. These grants demonstrate the Sheriff's Office's commitment to advancing law enforcement technology, communications infrastructure, and professional standards while maintaining strong partnerships with federal funding agencies dedicated to supporting local law enforcement initiatives.
