Register Your Security Camera with Hillsboro Police Department
When a crime occurs, area security cameras may capture critical information for investigators on people and vehicles associated with the criminal activity. In some cases, police canvas nearby homes and businesses to determine where cameras are and if that video evidence exists. That canvas can take time and resources. There is an alternative, though.
|
Hillsboro Police has established a security camera partnership with the community. Local businesses and residents can voluntarily share information about their video security systems through a secure online survey. If a crime occurs nearby, this information will assist officers and evidence technicians find and review relevant video evidence by reaching out to our network of residents and businesses who have shared camera information.
Important
- Registering in the survey does NOT give Hillsboro Police access to your camera(s).
- Your Personal Identifiable Information will not be shared outside of the Hillsboro Police Department.
- If you wish, you can withdraw from the program at any time.
Complete the survey.

Need Assistance Identifying Additional Victims
On December 13, 2023, Brian Henning (33 years old) was arrested for sex crimes against multiple children.
Henning is believed to have committed these crimes against children he was babysitting in his apartment in the Quatama neighborhood of Hillsboro. Henning lived at this residence for approximately 11 years and Hillsboro Police Detectives believe there may be additional victims who have not had the opportunity to report to police.
If you have any information regarding this case, please contact Hillsboro Police Records at 503-681-6175 and request to speak with Detective Schwartz.
Don't Fall Head Over Heels for a Romance Scammer
As your social media and mailboxes fill up with new year’s greetings, you might see some unfamiliar names. Are the messages from long-lost friends or romance scammers trying to get close?
Here are some things to watch for:
Scammers pretend to be heroes in faraway places. The phony Marines, soldiers, admirals, generals, diplomats, and surgeons claim they can’t speak or show their faces because they’re in Afghanistan, Ukraine, or South Sudan — but they aren’t.
|
Scammers say they’re in love. You can’t meet these faraway “friends” in person, but they’ll chat with you daily. Too soon, they surprise you with declarations of love, or ask to marry you, and say you can share all your secrets (and money) with them now. Don’t believe them.
LEARN MORE of the warning signs, and what to do if you think someone is scamming you.
ODOT Makes Speed Limit Permanent
The speed limit on NE Jackson School Road is now permanently set at 30 mph. Appropriate speed limits reduce the risk drivers impose to pedestrians and on themselves. Speed control is one of the most important methods for reducing fatalities and serious injuries.
The Hillsboro City Council approved a temporary speed ordinance for NE Jackson School Road in 2022 and requested that the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) conduct a speed zone investigation to establish a permanent speed limit. The ODOT investigation is now complete, and the results support the City’s requested speed of 30 mph.
With the permanent speed zone order, the temporary speed ordinance will now expire. Roadway signage is being modified to reflect this change.

Driving Reasonably and Prudent for the Given Conditions
The basic rule states you must drive at a speed that is reasonable and cautious for existing conditions. The basic rule applies on all roads at all times.
To obey the basic rule, think about your speed in relation to other traffic, pedestrians, bicycles, the surface and width of the road, hazards at intersections, weather, visibility, and any other conditions that affect safety. The basic rule does not allow you to drive over the speed limit.
If you drive at a speed that is unsafe for existing conditions in any area, at any time, even if it is slower than the speed limit, you are violating the 'basic rule', and you could be cited.
Examples:
- You are driving on Cornell where the speed limit is 45 mph. It begins to rain very hard. Driving 45 mph could be considered a violation of the basic rule.
- You are driving in a residential area where the speed limit is 25 mph. There's snow and/or ice on the road. Driving 25 mph could be considered a violation of the basic rule.
- You are driving on a rural road with no posted speed limit. The road has a lot of curves, it's nighttime and the fog is very thick. Driving 35 mph could be considered a violation of the basic rule.
