Administration

The Generator failed to fire during a power outage and a diagnostic service was performed. A sensor was found to be at fault and a simple override procedure can be used to have it start should it happen again.

Sgt. Burns has been in contact with the Portland VA in an effort to help them meet and have contact with any homeless veterans that may be in our area. He has collaborated with many of the local churches.

As laws change so must our procedures. As a result of requirements established by the District Attorney’s office regarding our interviews with suspects we have added a new camera. The new camera is located in our interview room upstairs. This system is a closed loop system that will allow us to audio and video record our interviews as needed. Because it is a closed loop system, we do not need to worry about hackers gaining access or other tampering. We can burn CD’s/DVD’s and thumb drivers directly from the system and submit them to the district attorney or others as needed.

Sandy Police Officers will be taking patrol shifts in Molalla during the MPD Christmas party in December. They will reciprocate as needed. These types of details are always fun for staff and gives them a change of pace.

Training

On November 8th, the SPD participated in a Firearms training that incorporated the Taser. We practiced decision making and transition skills.

All the officers have been trained on dealing with aggressive dogs. The training is free and put on by the Department of Justice. It can all be done on-line.

• All ammunition for destruction was turned in to Clackamas County Bomb Squad.

• All old tires for the Crown Victoria units no longer in service were cleared from the City Shops and sent to Les Schwab for recycling, clearing up space at the Shops.

• Letter sent to Krogstad with timeline for claiming/removing the car involved in a manslaughter case from the Shops.  This will also clear up valuable space.

• CLASSweb cases being researched and evidence being destroyed has been whittled from 3,740 items down to 1,420 items over the past 3 years.  Work continues on the more difficult cases.

• Two firearms stolen from Sandy in June 2013 were picked up from Portland Police. It took several months to get them cleared and prove that they were from the Sandy theft.  One had never been entered into LEDS/NCIC as a serial number was not provided by the owner.  I had enough descriptors to prove to Portland Detectives that the gun belonged to our victim.
