How big the department isNewberg-Dundee Police Department reported 36 sworn officers and 13 civilian staff to the FBI for 2025. That is 1.3 officers per 1,000 residents, over a population of 27,558.A rate is only meaningful for a city department, where the population served is the city’s own. Reporting to the FBI is voluntary, so a count can reflect a partial return as easily as a small agency, and the FBI asks that agencies not be compared on staffing.
