Superintendent Aaron Bayer, some of his staff and Chief Yamashita attended the Oregon Emergency Management Conference the first week of October.  They were asked to speak about the “Culture of Safety” we have created for the school district and steps that we’ve taken to ensure the best possible outcomes should we see violence in our schools.

On Monday, October 10th, Chief Yamashita was asked to speak at the Clackamas County Libraries Conference.  She talked about safety both on and off the job.

We conducted a tabletop exercise on October 11th with the Estacada Fire Department and the City of Estacada to go over Active Shooter protocols.  Our hope is that we can get the  school districts and fire departments from both cities on the same or similar programs, level of training and preparedness.

Officer’s Olmos, Hodges and Chief Yamashita conducted Run Hide Fight training for the OTSD on October 19th.

Officer’s Steffanson and Olmos helped out the library with their Creepy Halloween event.  Olmos was in the dunk tank for over 45 minutes and Steffanson helped with crowd wrangling.

Got Drugs?  We did a drug take back event and we “took back” 123 pounds of unwanted medications.  What a great event and my thanks to Sgt. Shawn Burns and Juli Smith for their hard work on this event.

Of course we also had fun Trick or Treating with our little citizens.  Thanks to Officer Sytsma and Reserve Officer Thornton .
