Administration
Chief Yamashita completed an interview with Klove Air-1 Radio Station. The interview lasted a little over an hour and will be edited down to a 30 minute segment on the radio. They plan on playing the interview several times over the next year. The topics included services provided by the department, what to do if you are pulled over, and emergency management tips. We will let you know when the air dates and times are determined.
Chief Yamashita met with the Sandy Kiwanis and covered the medical/legalization of marijuana issues with the group. We also covered other questions and concerns.
The Oregon Trail School District staff, Chief Yamashita and Sgt. Burns met with officials from the City of Gladstone to share our school safety plans and and programs. There is interest in the county as to what we have accomplished and they are starting to come to us for advice. We continue to train school staff and will be working with Sandy Elementary in April.
Officer Argubright was released form all training is now on solo patrol. He is doing a great job and is making a fine addition to the department.
The new computer equipment is finally starting to roll in and we should be able to start installation to the new cars soon. Once that is complete we will get them on the road. Some of the older cars that no longer work, have been dismantled and are being sent to the crusher.
