The Courier Cam downtown is located at the corner of 6th and G streets in beautiful downtown Grants Pass. From time to time, we’ll change the direction the camera is pointing.
The Daily Courier’s five cameras are the largest network of webcams in Josephine County and all of Southern Oregon with live streaming video and this one allows users to check out what’s going on downtown from home or right at your desk at work.

clem melson6/18/2013 1:01:34 pm Clearwater fl violent crime is 880. my spring hill fl is 333, so 118 isnt to much. my old hingham mass is only 17
Went to school there6/18/2013 10:05:18 am Neighbor moved back here from GP. He said there is a BIG meth problem there now. Is that true?
Former GP Resident6/15/2013 8:17:57 pm Speaking of crimes. According to FBI Website pages on national crime reports, there were 109 "violent crimes" against persons reported to GP police in 2011. That compares to 387 in Medford; 2 (yes, two) in Jacksonville; 26 in Ashland; 460 in Eugene and 3,037 in Portland...

So what are the "high crime rates" you're all talking about? Gangs and drugs? Street robberies and muggings? Sexual assaults? If all you're worrying about are vehicle thefts and other non-violent property crimes, consider yourself luckier than millions of us along the I-5 corridor.
LizF.6/15/2013 5:12:44 am Just got back from GP. First timers. Absolutely loved it. Can't wait to get back. Went to where the camera shows and had coffee at Dutch Bros. Yum! Ate at the Laughing Clam. Halibut Fish and Chips. Double Yum! GP is very easy to drive in, courteous drivers, easy to find places. Couldn't have been better. In March we return for good.
clem melson6/13/2013 2:40:00 pm I guess gp scared of mike fl from clearwater when he visited. He was counting the days till june . its june now. wheres mike fl?
LA LLOYD6/13/2013 1:09:32 pm It looks like LA is getting a bad rap. Not all Californians come from the city of angels. If I lived in GP I would try to get a Stand Your Ground Law passed.
Grants Pass native6/13/2013 12:10:51 pm @ clem melson, What kind of crime??? You have got to be joking. You should get the Grants Pass Courier, maybe look at it and you will see crimes on every page! A editorial a month back listed southern Oregon as number 51 of livable places to retire. 51 because they also listed Washington D.C. I live here and love my home town but can no longer feel safe here!
roxymom6/13/2013 10:29:16 am I have been considering GP as a place to retire, but all the comments about crime have me concerned. I've checked several sites on the internet, and sure 'nuff, GP is ranked as a high-crime area. I know that there are good and bad neighborhoods in every town, but for a town that outwardly appears to be so nice, the statistics are discouraging.
against tyrranny6/13/2013 9:47:46 am we have bigger fish to fry.. time to come together.
clem melson6/13/2013 9:33:00 am What kind of crime? cant be that bad.
G P LOCAL6/12/2013 10:29:18 pm OK kids. Play nice. It takes all kinds of beautiful people to make the world go around. Some are good with words. Some are good with a paint brush. Some are here to teach and some are here to learn. But if your going to flap your lips and wag your tongue , all the while , filling the air with only negativity. Then you are a part of the very problem that you are whining about. Smile and just do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If only we all could get together on that!
Venice girl6/11/2013 4:23:29 pm Really, more than half of the people I have met in and around the So. Oregon area for more than 35 years are from California. Crime is every where you go big or small towns. In LA you don't even hear about half of whats going on but in small towns that's the news. And the last time I was in LA I called 911 & I was transferred to the local police (Pacific Division) and they never answered. So move on back to LA and let me know how it turns out for you....
Grants Pass native6/11/2013 12:19:53 pm Born here, live here but life has been better. Can't afford higher taxes, trying to sell but no takers. Good luck L.A. hope you have better luck selling than I have. Crime is really bad, no one cares anymore! Thought I would live here forever but life is really scary! No respect for elders. Many friends here from California so don't think they are the problem. Just a bad situation that doesn't get any better.

Gladly6/11/2013 11:00:30 am All us Californians, especially with kids, should move back. If @truth is any indication of the degree of education natives receive here, we'd be doing them a favor ("then oregon won't be srewed up like califonia" ... you're on a computer, ever heard of spell check? A capital letter? Punctuation?).
Some decorum, please?6/11/2013 10:51:45 am I think @truth has every right to speak his/her mind, but in a moderated forum can't we at least insist on even a small amount of grammar and clarity? This isn't the place to rant and rave, but even if it was spewing flames in an almost incoherent assortment of unrelated letters that do not pass for words should be deleted, or at least ignored to keep him/her from continued vitriol.
truth6/11/2013 3:59:28 am what i'm telling u is don't vote your srewed up laws that u voted for in cali ,so u don't srew up oregon.it seems like thats what happens.u all bring your junk laws to oregon.thats why u left cali.taxes and laws that srewed up cali in the first place.
@truth6/10/2013 6:59:41 am So are you saying that Grants Pass won't have any problems if everyone who moved here from California left?
Michael6/9/2013 11:00:54 am @from LA - Every town or city has its issues. But looking at the recent news in Santa Monica, I think you chose an interesting day to try and convince anyone that one is safer living in LA than in GP.
