Oregon Trail School\/Sandy PD Cooperative Program<\/strong> \u00a0–<\/p>\n

\"Wetherbee<\/p>\n

We had a busy month in October. \u00a0A lot of our time was spent in finishing up our projects with the Oregon Trail School District. \u00a0We completed a Table Top exercise with administrative staff of the OTSD. \u00a0We finalized plans that will aid both first respondents and the district in the event\u00a0that a school needs to be evacuated and students reunited with their parents. \u00a0We also finished up the last of the Active Shooter Training; now each school and every employee has been trained. \u00a0Lastly, we also conducted Active Shooter training with the OTSD Board. \u00a0The board members were given an over view of the program. \u00a0Their training included an opportunity to get physical and try some of the techniques. \u00a0The program is very well received and we have branched out to include other agencies and private business.<\/p>\n

Out last project to complete for the OTSD was another vulnerability assessment of the facilities. \u00a0As council may remember, shortly after I arrived in Sandy I completed an initial assessment of all the schools in the OTSD. \u00a0Since that assessment, the OTSD has made sweeping changes to school security. \u00a0With those changes and the training completed, it was time to complete another assessment of the OTSD. \u00a0That was completed at the end of October, the final report is pending. \u00a0I can tell you that the work done by OTSD has been wonderful and has greatly improved the safety of our students.<\/p>\n

Safe\u00a0Guarding\u00a0Our History –\u00a0<\/strong>The Sandy Police Department had maintained paper reports as far back as the 1970’s. \u00a0Those reports were in paper form and stored in our storage garage at the Public Works center. \u00a0This was concerning. \u00a0In the event of a flood or other disaster, those records would be lost, or worse, blown around the neighborhood for others to access. \u00a0To eliminate this liability we hired back retired SPD employee Sandy Lopez for a few months each year for the last couple of years. \u00a0She has been busy scanning all of those paper files into Laser-phish and shredding the original paper copies. \u00a0I am happy to report she finished that \u00a0task this month. \u00a0She scanned and shredded four decades of police reports into a searchable, usable, backed up electronic system. \u00a0Once that huge task was complete she moved on to other documents I felt important to have in this format. \u00a0Old law suits, agreements and other documents it is important that we maintain in a safe, reliable way.<\/p>\n

Building issues<\/strong> – Julie Smith and Shawn Burns have been working on a few issues related to the building. \u00a0The electronic back door was not locking when it should, the sewer was backing up and we have a problem with the generator. \u00a0I guess we are still working on the bugs in the “new” building. \u00a0The door was corrected with some new hardware, the sewer issue was corrected by a great plumber and the generator issue is pending.<\/p>\n

Training –<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All of the staff have been taking free on-line training. \u00a0The sworn staff as taken training provided by Department of Justice on dealing with aggressive dogs. \u00a0You \u00a0can Google, “dog shot by police” and find several stories that lead to police liability. \u00a0Trying to mitigate that issue, we thought the training would be helpful. \u00a0We learned how to approach aggressive dogs using body language and other tools to keep the dog calm. \u00a0The training also provided alternative uses of force, such as a fire extinguisher, bite stick and others. \u00a0We have also continued to use the free On-line training provided by CIS and Lexipol. \u00a0Using these free sources of training have made it possible to meet our training needs without a negative impact to the budget.<\/p>\n
