The Springfield Elks Lodge has purchased life jackets to help every child in Lane County have access to the right size life jacket. This year, the fun continues! 

Bring your child and an outgrown, lightly used life jacket to exchange for a properly fitting life jacket. We will help check jackets for form, fit, and function. Exchanged life jackets will be inspected for safety and handed back out to other children. Leftover jackets will go to loaner stations around the county.  

This event is, first come, first served, and your child must be present for sizing.  

The event will be held on Friday, July 10th from 3pm to 7pm, at the Springfield Elks Lodge located at 1701 Centennial Blvd in Springfield.  

Thanks to the Springfield Elks Lodge for sponsoring and hosting this event!

In February 2026, Lane County detectives, as part of the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, began an investigation into the online exploitation of a local child involving the Snapchat application. 

On July 1, 2026, investigators identified the suspect as 19-year-old Diego Rojas-Hernandez of Newport, Oregon. As Rojas-Hernandez resided outside Lane County, LCSO requested assistance from the Oregon State Police. 

Later that same day, Oregon State Police detectives arrested Rojas-Hernandez on charges of Luring a Minor and Online Sexual Corruption in the Second Degree. Rojas-Hernandez was lodged at the Lincoln County Jail. 

This investigation remains ongoing, and no additional information is available for release at this time. 

The Lane County Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force is committed to investigating internet-based crimes against children and working with local, state, and federal partners to identify offenders and protect vulnerable members of our community. 

The Lane County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the Oregon State Police, the Lane County District Attorney's Office, and the Lincoln County District Attorney's Office for all their work on this case.

The Lane County Sheriff’s Office does not have adequate funding for a dedicated traffic team or a deputy assigned to DUI enforcement. Additional dedicated funding to the Sheriff’s Office Police Services Division would be used to staff full-time traffic safety enforcement deputies if ever obtained. Our deputies are committed to the safety of our community, and traffic safety enforcement is paramount in order to prevent the unnecessary loss of lives on our roadways.   

The Lane County Sheriff’s Office reminds everyone: 

Plan your safe ride home ahead of time  

If you drink or use drugs, do not drive for any reason  

If you know someone has been drinking or using drugs, don't let them drive  

If you host a party with alcohol, make sure all guests leave with a sober driver  

And please, always wear your seatbelt!  

Drive safe in 2026 – Please get a ride if you have been drinking or using drugs!!
