As mentioned in last months report, Superintendent Aaron Bayer, Julia Monteith, Scott Coleman and Chief Yamashita presented at the Oregon School Board Assoc. conference on November 13th. \u00a0The presentation was about “Creating a Culture of Safety”. \u00a0The talk went very well and we had several larger police agencies in attendance. \u00a0The Eugene PD official approached Chief Yamashita after the presentation and commented on how far ahead of the “game” we were and that we were the “tip of the spear” when it comes to our preparedness.<\/p>\n
An update and inventory of the EOC was conducted this month and we remain ready. \u00a0Food stores and emergency blankets were added to the inventory in case we need to shelter folks in place or run a protracted EOC event. \u00a0We also completed a set of instructions for setting up the EOC, including a diagram. \u00a0It can be found on the wall in the EOC. \u00a0The idea is that the first person arriving should be able to use these instructions to get the EOC up and started before the arrival of other team members.<\/p>\n
Chief Yamashita presented a self defense and ID theft class for seniors at the community center this month. \u00a0There are about a dozen folks in attendance. \u00a0We covered issues like ID theft, current scams and things seniors can do to improve safety. \u00a0We concluded the class with a general Q and A session.<\/p>\n
After doing \u00a0return on investment analysis, we have made the decision to discontinue offering finger printing services starting in January. \u00a0The current staffing makes it inefficient to do enough volume to make it cost effective. \u00a0Most municipal departments have not offered this service for some time. \u00a0We have offered the OTSD, Sandy Fire, and other agencies that utilize the service free training to a staff member so they can do the fingerprinting in house. \u00a0This will save them money too! \u00a0Folks needing this service will continue to have several options and the service will still be available to them elsewhere.<\/p>\n
Sandy PD is gearing up to help out with the Shop with a Cop program next month. \u00a0More on that (and some photos) next month.<\/p>\n
