The Oregon Rangers Association

The Oregon Rangers Association is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization born of people with exceptional expertise.  With a common core sense of duty to the state and country, community service to the public with a focus on EMS and general aid, they strive to make a difference.

  Most Rangers have proven backgrounds from police, military or fire departments.  In the first years, Oregon Rangers trained hundreds of individuals in the First Responder medical program from many different fire departments all over Oregon at little or no cost to those departments.

From wilderness medicine to CPR, the Rangers educate wherever they go. They also patrol areas where help in an emergency situation is hard to come by such as  remote lakes, streams and parks.  It is a documented fact that over 540 emergencies, mostly cardiac and allergic reactions, take place each year in Oregon Parks.

  The Rangers can respond to  emergencies with expertise not normally available in most areas.  WIth the most advanced communications systems available, multiple agency contact is at hand.  If needed, the Rangers are even trained to respond from the air.

Educated as Armed Officers with the State of Oregon, the Rangers do carry firearms for your protection and theirs. However, their duties are limited in most cases, referring  heavy calls to traditional law enforcement.

  Oregon Rangers bring back the days when someone would stop to help a stranded motorist.  The days when the woods were a safe place for your family.  The Rangers are here to make a difference in our communities, the State of Oregon, and our country.  With the help of our generous supporters and the dedication and hard work of our members and volunteers, the Oregon Rangers are here to make Oregon a cleaner and safer place for everyone!
