CRIME STATS FOR MAY – Chief Yamashita

As you will see from the graph below the number of arrests are a little higher this month.  We had a total of 133 arrests (our average has been running about 120)

 

PATROL/ADMIN – Chief Yamashita

May was a busy month for prep work.

  • We have met with Hood to Coast officials to start preparing for the race in August.
  • We started work on the 4th of July fireworks.
  • Prep for the parade, Mt. Festival and wine/beer/music is underway.
  • Also started worked on the Estacada project after the award of the contract on 05/13 by the Estacada council.
  • I was asked by the DOJ to participate in a Federal/State grant review process.  The Grant is designed to promote projects that aid in decreasing violence against women (particularly, domestic violence, date rape etc).  My participation was preparation for the next round of the grant.  I will be better prepared to apply, and hopefully receive grant funding that could be used to off-set some employee and program costs.
  • I participated, with several others, in the Economic/Business Rapid Response Team Training.
  • We are prepping and staffing for multiple events coming up in July.

 

RECORDS – Diane Reed

  • Met with IT to brainstorm resolutions for ongoing computer issues.
  • Completion of LEDS certification for all reserves.
  • Met with Office Depot representative to resolve some service issues.
  • All fire extinguishers either serviced, recharged, or retired.  Good for another year.

SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER – Officer Kevin Way

I had approximately 21 people (teachers, students and parents) contact me seeking advice or referrals and conducted 3 background checks for the school district.

I cited three high school students for MIP- Alcohol (by consumption).  The students arrived to school on the school bus, then preceded to walk off campus were they consumed several beers.  The students were released to their parents.

An OTSD employee contacted me to report someone had applied graffiti to the ticket booth near the high school athletic field.

I contacted several transient types, on separate occasions, on the walking trails behind the high school.  I attribute the increase to the improving weather.

  • Malibu is currently in midst of auction and sealed bids are being accepted.  In the first week of auction, over 107 people viewed the online listing & photos. We have a reserve of $8500.00 set for the minimum bid.
  • Checked into Fred Meyer Pharmacy bag program to promote drug drop box; decided free methods of publicity were adequately promoting the program.
  • Added information for Oregon Trail School District to the Sandy Radio station. Checking into how EvidenceOn Q can handle the new Estacada contract and track their evidence separately for City Council and budgeting purposes.
