Hood River County is asking voters to renew its public safety levy of 78 cents per thousand dollars of assessed value for another five years.  The current levy at the same rate expires at the end of June 2025.  It was established to get the Sheriff’s Office back to 24/7 patrols, and provide for more resources for criminal prosecution, emergency management, and the office’s civil division.  The original levy was approved in the spring of 2020.
