History
The Gladstone Police Department was founded the same year as Gladstone itself, in 1911.[5] In a state that was only a little more than 50 years old, early Gladstone was very rural, and its police force spent much of its time dealing with rural problems, such as rounding up escaped livestock.[6] In 1913, a large, rabid bulldog was reported to have been menacing the Gladstone's citizens.[7] Chief Miller's last official act as chief, before leaving the position to be a full-time postmaster, was to kill the bulldog.[8] In 1918, GPD appointed a "special woman policeman" to help with combating the 1918 flu pandemic.[9]
Gladstone fired officer Lynn Benton due to the murder of his wife in May 2011.[10] Benton was fired in December 2011, and was later charged with the murder.[11][12][13] The department eliminated its canine unit in April 2014.[14] In 2014, GPD received accreditation for attaining a high standard of professionalism, making it one of only 20% of Oregon law enforcement agencies to have received accreditation at that time.[15] Chief Jim Pryde retired early in 2015 after issues with the city council over his paid consulting work.[16][17][18]
