Administration
Sgt. Burns sustained an off duty injury (lost a fight with his chain saw) and has been off for two weeks. He is expected to be off for another two weeks before he can come back to a light duty assignment.
Diane Reed has been working on several projects, including a means to streamline and make the fraud reporting easier on staff. She came up with a form for victims to complete.
I made a conditional offer to Jeff Argubright for the position of Patrol Officer. We will be conducting his background check over the next few weeks. He is a lateral from the Clark County SO so he will not need to attend the police academy. He will go through our Field Training Program, but I suspect it won’t take him any time at all. He will be a good fit. More on him when the position becomes final. I will also bring him to a Council Meeting for his swearing in and to provide Council an opportunity to meet Jeff.
Patrol
The vehicles and uniforms were updated to include “Estacada” and all necessary equipment items purchased. We started on 09-01-13 and the first few days have gone great!
Officer Olmos started at the OTSD High School as the new School Resource Officer. Officer Ways in now on Patrol.
Investigations
We took over 200 Fraud reports all related to the case we are working. It still appears that the common thread is the Dairy Queen, but we still don’t have an absolute answer on how it happened. We continue to work with the Secret Service and both Dairy Queen and Fred Meyer are being great about helping!
Jason Bickle finished his tour as the detective (three years) and has passed on the job to Jason Coates. It must be a “Jason” thing. Det. Coates hit the ground running and I expect great things from him. “Officer” Bickle is now assigned to swing shift patrol.
