MEDFORD, Ore. – As Medford’s camping ban goes into effect, Medford Police are taking the first steps. Starting this week, Medford Police are handing out 72-hour notices to people living on the Greenway, as the city’s prohibited camping ordinance takes effect.
Medford Police told NBC5 News it expects the process to take some time, weeks, or even months. They said they want to enforce this as humanely as possible without overwhelming shelters.
Medford Police Officer RJ Josephson has been with MPD’s Livability Team for over a year now.
“We want to see people succeed. We really truly believe there’s a better way for them to be. There’s a better way for them to live,” said Officer Josephson.

MEDFORD, Ore. The City of Medford says that it has begun the process of implementing a prohibited camping ordinance that was approved at the beginning of April, with the Medford Police Livability Team posting 72-hour notices at seven campsites along the Bear Creek Greenway.
While not the only aspect of the ordinance, the rule allows for Medford to ban camping or sleeping of any kind on the Greenway and Prescott Park during high fire danger months, defined as May 1 through September 30.
