Another busy month for us. \u00a0We conducting training on Water Survival for the officers. The training received a nice write up in the Sandy Post which provided for a lot of citizen comments, all positive. \u00a0Special thanks to the Mt. Hood Athletic Club for the use of the pool and\u00a0their\u00a0hospitality.<\/p>\n
Sgt. Burns, Sgt Roberts, Diane Reed, Seth Atkinson and I all attended the LGPI Conference. \u00a0Great topics all related to labor relations. \u00a0The three day course was held in Silverton at The Oregon Gardens. \u00a0The course was certified by DPSST for continuing education credits in supervision.<\/p>\n
We drafted a lockdown\u00a0procedure\u00a0plan for the Community Center. \u00a0That plan was sent to Nancy Enabnit for review.<\/p>\n
The department has been working closely with the Oregon Trail School District and we have worked out plans for response to emergencies. \u00a0Additionally, we have conducted several self guided tours to\u00a0familiarize\u00a0ourselves with the new high school layout. \u00a0Officer Way has been visiting all of the schools in the OTSD and making sure they have his contact information and to just say hello.<\/p>\n
We continue to work with the Oregon Department of Transportation on the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement program. \u00a0We are starting to receive reimbursements from the grant funds that were awarded which makes the program nearly budget\u00a0neutral.<\/p>\n
I worked with Mr. Doughman in an attempt to find a way to\u00a0recoup\u00a0expenses we incur when we transport an\u00a0intoxicated\u00a0subject to detox. \u00a0The fee is $120 per visit and some of our\u00a0citizens\u00a0get taken to de-tox weekly.\u00a0Unfortunately, current laws are written in a way that make it unlikely we will have any way to\u00a0offset\u00a0these expenses.<\/p>\n
The Hood to Coast went off without a hitch as did the other events scheduled for the month of August. \u00a0So far, all of the\u00a0September\u00a0events have gone well. \u00a0The multiple events on Friday, September 7, 2012 were a strain on resources; but we managed to get through the high school grand opening, Governor’s visit, first home game (with free admission), Oktoberfest and First Friday without a single incident. \u00a0Go Team SPD!<\/p>\n
