Congratulations to our newest Basic Telecommunicator Academy Graduate, Emily Teters! Emily completed three weeks at the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) academy in Salem in order to receive her Basic Certification, which the State requires for emergency dispatchers. This required training is to help establish a baseline of essential knowledge while developing dispatch and call-taking-related skills that students can take with them as they continue their training at their dispatch agencies.
LAKE OSWEGO - Today, May 15th marks the 61st anniversary of National Peace Officers’ Memorial Day and the beginning of National Police Week. National Police Week was created in 1962 when, then-president, John F. Kennedy signed Public Law 87-726 which honors federal, state, and municipal peace officers who have been killed or disabled in the line of duty.
LAKE OSWEGO - Just after 1:30 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, Oak Creek Elementary School received a bomb threat over the phone. Based on the information the school staff were given by the caller, they determined that it was appropriate to evacuate the school. As they started that process, they also notified the police department and officers immediately responded to the school and began coordinating with district staff. All of the students and staff were safely evacuated and officers started the process of searching the entire school property for suspicious items.
