For the next eight years the Sunriver Police Department continued to operate as the only private police department in the State of Oregon. The year 2002 was another milestone year in the history of the Sunriver Police Department. In 2002, the community of Sunriver voted to pass a Special County Service District to provide Public Safety services to the Community of Sunriver. This campaign was strongly supported by both Police and Fire personnel who were, up to this time, the only agencies in the State not eligible for PERS. On July 1, 2002 the district was formed and the Police and Fire departments were transferred into the District. Also in 2002, the Sunriver Police Department started the process of becoming an accredited agency. This process is considered to run among the most significant events in the departments history. On April 8, 2003 the Sunriver Police Department received accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies INC.
