On November 6th, 2026 The Dalles Police Sergeant Travis Elton was awarded the “Excellence in Community Service Award” from the Oregon Police Officers Association at their annual awards ceremony at the Spirit Mountain Convention Center. Sergeant Elton was honored for his charitable work in coordination and hosting the Pig Bowl – The Dalles event that provides funds to local families in need. Sergeant Elton contributed many hours to this fun family event that raised thousands of dollars for families facing hardship.
We are proud of Sergeant Elton and his commitment to The Dalles, and grateful for the recognition of the OPOA.
