Administration

Diane Reed and Chief Yamashita participated in a conference call with Oregon State Senator Laura Monnes-Anderson.  We discussed what is and is not working with the sex offender registration program.  Diane brings 30 years experience to the table and had some great ideas.  The Senators office has asked for more information from SPD.

Chief Yamashita and Diane Reed attended the the most recent RegJin Meeting.  RegJin is the new software being contemplated by Clackamas, Clark, Washington, Multnohmah a police agencies as a new records management system.  Not much new to report, the project is large and is moving forward, albeit slowly.

We officially launched the new Alarm Program January 1, 2014.  We have had a slow stream of folks that have come in to register their alarms.   Officers are leaving applications and a letter with residents that have alarms but no permits when responding to false alarms.   We are giving everyone until the end of February as a grace period.  After that we will probably start the fine process.

Once again we facilitated the job shadow program from the high school and had about 8 students that participated with the officers and the staff. Most had an informative time and managed to get some behind the scenes glimpses of police work.

Sgt. Burns  attended the kick off meeting for Estacada and the formation of their EOP, they are using the same company we did so our info will be easy to gather and import to them. Same cooperation with the county will be used.

This month we completed the boxing of the extensive overgrow case that has been clogging up the evidence holding area at the shops.  Boxes have been counted and a run to Covanta is planned for the first part of February.  Convanta is the business where we take our property for destruction.  It is a secured facility and Sgt. Burns (Property Room Supervisor) and Juli Smith  (Property Technician) will deliver the boxes of property (sealed) and watch as they are destroyed by burning.

An inventory of the bikes that have accumulated at the city shops and will also be addressed with the ongoing purging of old cases, closed or adjudicated

Juli Smith also takes the found clothing that is usable and in good condition, washes it and then takes it to the Sandy Community Action Center.  The clothing included 15 heavy, winter coats in like new condition.

The Property Room had a job shadow participant; they spent the day in the Property Room, assisted with two property releases and had a tour of the Crime Lab.

Research was completed with the Juvenile department on how long Juvenile prints are retained in AFIS to assist Officer Hodges in one of his cases now that the suspect is an adult.  Unfortunately, prints from a 2008 case were no longer accessible.
