Criminal Apprehension through Patrol Enforcement (CAPE) is a program where Troopers assess situations and people they contact in their daily work for potential criminal activity. The philosophy behind CAPE is to identify all crimes and threats in an effort to locate and apprehend wanted subjects and identify individuals engaged in criminal activity, as well as locate illegal substances, stolen property or other contraband, in vehicles traveling on the state's highways.

Our program includes 1 Explosives K-9, 1 Fish and Wildlife K-9 and 9 Drug Detection K-9s.  A variety of dog breeds fill out our K-9 Program, including, but not limited to, Springer Spaniel, Labrador Retriever and Belgian Malinois.  Our selection process is based on a K-9s personality, high drive, workability and intense desire for tracking and detection.

To ensure everyone's safety, never approach or attempt to pet any law enforcement K-9 without permission from the handler.  Although our K-9s may appear docile and friendly, they are working dogs, not pets.  A law enforcement K-9 may become defensive and can bite without warning.

Drug Detection: K-9 teams assist in the detection of illegal drugs, recovery of stolen property and the arrest of wanted persons on our highways and in local communities.  These teams work closely with other Troopers, Drug Enforcement Detectives, as well as City, County and Federal law enforcement agencies.  Our Drug Detection K-9 roster includes:  Mako, Max, Falko, Harley, Marley, Ore, Mick, Nero and Titan. Although each of our K-9s are special, Titan's story is a heartwarming one.  Not only was he obtained through a rescue facility, he is now successfully trained as a Drug Detection K-9.

CAPE operations typically result in seizures of large amounts of drugs, firearms and proceeds from criminal activity as well as the arrests of wanted persons, intoxicated drivers and people engaged in criminal conduct. CAPE operations strongly support the traffic safety mission of OSP and focus on the most common driving errors that result in the majority of serious injury and fatal vehicle crashes: speed, occupant restraint, lane use, intoxicated driving and distracted driving.

The Oregon State Police, through a strong partnership with the Oregon State Sheriffs’ Association and the Oregon Association Chiefs of Police, has expanded the “Car Care” program to “Oregon’s Car Care” program. A special thanks to Governor Kate Brown, Oregon Department of Administrative Services and Oregon Corrections Enterprises for their support with the expansion.

CAPE operations are conducted by Troopers who work on our highways every day. Large-scale operations are also held across the state throughout the year with an emphasis on highway safety, criminal interdiction and crime deterrence. Some goals of CAPE are to reduce vehicle crashes, interdict the transportation of illegal items and increase the safety of persons driving on Oregon highways. CAPE operations frequently team up drug detection K9 handlers with Troopers that have expertise in intoxicated driving, aggressive driving, passenger vehicle safety, commercial motor vehicle safety, crash investigation, drug investigation and other specialties to work together in an effort to meet CAPE goals.
