No Call Too Small: The best of the police log from the pages of the Lake Oswego Review

LAKE OSWEGO, ORE. – The affluent town of Lake Oswego is considered one of the finest communities in Oregon. With great schools, a thriving arts community, countless parks, a celebrated library and a business community dedicated to customer service, it’s easy to see why many national publications rank Lake Oswego as one of Oregon’s finest communities. But one of Lake Oswego’s best kept secrets (maybe not among criminals) is that it boasts one of the finest police departments in all of Oregon. What other conclusion can you make when serious crime in Lake Oswego is almost non-existent and the police respond with tireless dedication to every kind of call, because they believe: There is no call too small. As journalists at the weekly Lake Oswego Review, we document these calls every week in our popular police log. Our first book, No Call too Small, highlights some of our favorite calls from 2009 to 2014. We apologize in advance for any milk snorted through noses, busted guts and sudden snorts of laughter.
