We have, in l969, applied modern police techniques and realignment of crime Suppression squads, thereby, with a great deal of success, suppressed the crime rate in the City of Salem in comparison with the year i968. Current statistics indicate a decrease of Part crimes of .006 percent in l969 over the year l968, in Salem. The federal _crime index is not presently completed, however, statistics furnished by them for-the first nine months Show an ll percent inorease nationally, with violent crimes showing 3 l2 percent increase. The overall crime decrease was primarily due to the applica- tion of new and modern techniques. use of suppression squads in the affected areas, educational aids to the public, better trained police personnel, and a small percentage to the reevaluation of crime reporting data. we shall continue striving to combat and suppress crime in Salem by applying our efforts in the coming year by continually using modern techniques, the improvement o? the educational program For the general public, continued in-service training for police perSonnel, the use of effective and efficient supervision in order to make Salem a clean, safe, and pleasant city in which to live.

Staffed during this time with one Sergeant and one Senior Patrolman, it was directly under the supervision of the Chief of Police, and as such, the Sergeant and the Senior Patrolman serve both line and staff functions. During_the year the unit expanded on information files of strategic intelligence, information of long-range usefulness, of persons and groups involved or su5pected of being involved in subversive or organized crime type activities. information files of line intelligence, information of short? range or immediate usefulness, were also expanded upon, this being in the area of narcotic and dangerous drug law violations, vice investigations, city license and Oregon Liquor Privilege License application and violation investigations. Considerable effort was expended in the gathering of counter intelligence information regarding persons or groups intending to undermine the effectiveness and efficiency of the Salem Police Department. Also in this area, cooperative investigations with the internal Affairs section of the Administrative Services Division resulted in successful completion of investigations involving departmental employees accused or suSpected of criminal activities or misconduct. intelligence Unit personnel conducted training sessions for law enforcement personnel both within our department and out, numerous public appearance invitations were accepted thereby allowing us to discuss drug abuse with hundreds of Salem citizens, both youth and adult.

These four men give full 2? hour coverage to the Jail for all but 8 heurs each week. The Jail itself consist of One 26 man dormitory cell, One l8 man dormitory cell, a man felon cell, a 2 man trustee cell, security cell, drunk tank, office.- and asserted work. shower, and storage areas. in l969 we submitted a preposal to increase the salary range for civilian jailers.over and above any blanket raise proposed by the City. This was approved and the new salary range of $h95.00 to $630.00 has been in effect since I July I969. Another employee benefit was received when we changed the jailers work uniform from the long sleeved gray and black outfit to a light weight permanent press forest green pants and short sleeved wash and wear white uniform shirts. A new booking procedure was initiated which involved designing a new 0 page form and a complete revamping of the booking process. This procedure has been used with much success since 2i January l969. The greatest achievement of the Jail Section was in the area of priSOner food service. A centractual agreement was entered into with the Page 3 DIVISION ANNUAL REPORT Harion COunty Jail to Furnish hot meals and sack lunches each day for Our prisoners. in conjunction with this, new serving area shelving and cabinets had to be constructed in_the Jail and a portable Hot Food Table and assorted containers had to be These purchases amounted to $h59.?7. We used this new service for the last six months of the year. During this i period we served 6&0 meals more than during the previous six months and including the cost of the equipment we still made a savings of $780.06. It must be noted that the food now being served is of better quality and quantity and conforms to Federalidietary standards. trial order of i2 new vinyl covered 3? foam penal mattresses was purchased and put into use. Tests indicate this type of mattress gives superior service and hygienic results. During the year two civilian jailers were terminated for cause. Two others resigned to accept other employment outside the department and one other transferred to the Uniform Division as a recruit officer.

The new salary range is from $h95.00 to $630.00 a month. New shelter and working hoors were approved by the City Hanager which allowed a Sunday closure and uniform days off for control officers. New operational procedures were started which include a house to house check for unlicensed dogs; issuance of a new notice to obtain licenses; new record checking procedure with Marion County on dog owners; assignment of regular patrol hours in Hest Salem and a closer working agreement with _the Polk County Animal Authority. New cat cages have been constructed. New feeding dishes and animal traps as well as a carbon monoxide tester were purchased. Regular testing of the amount of free carbon monoxide in the area of the incenerator during Operation is made. This along with the new procedure of annually inoculating each Animal Control Officer for tetanus gives an added safety factor to our operatIOn. The shelter was inspected three times during the year by the Pet and Captive Animal Facility inspector of the Veterinary Division Oregon State Department of Agriculture and each time received the best possible report.

Beside the Lieutenant and Sergeant the division is made up of four sergeants, seven patrolman, one policewoman and two secretaries, making a total of sixteen personnel. All members of the Division are involved in both criminal and non- criminal investigations which are steadily on the increase. Hundreds of hours of tedious time consuming investigation was put into four murder investigations which were culminated by the arrest and conviction of Jerome Henry Brudos. A second murder investigated is waiting further court action. in addition, during the latter part of I969, investigators were able to start a breakup of a rather large gang involved in related crimes which included burglary, larceny, possession of stolen property, narcotics violations, fraud, and violations of Federal laws. Detective Division personnel, during I969, appeared before numerous groups in the business and professional community. Officers appeared before 1,900 persons, expending approximately 55.5 man hours in doing so. From time to time, Detective personnel are called upon to appear as instructors in police schools and seminars outside of our own police academy. Detective personnel appeared before approximately 250 persons, expending approximately 25 man hours, in this regard during I969. Additionally, several members of the Detective Division are certified as law enforcement instructors and as such, regularly instruct recruits in the Salem Police Academy. Several members have been attending classes on their own time in order to make themselves better qualified police officers. - UNIFORM COMMANDER Lt. Everett J.

These changes have been mainly in the areas of personnel, administration, and organization. There has not yet been sufficient time for the effects of all of these changes to be fully realized. They have required much versatility and adaptability from the personnel most of whom have responded enthusiastically. Even though we are not yet fully satisfied that the division has attained its top level of performance, we are, on the whole, quite satisfied with the achievements of this past year. The Uniform Division is the largest of four divisions making up the Salem Police Department. it is commanded by a Captain and is organized into three forces, each being commanded by a Lieutenant and a Sergeant. Each force is organized into three Squads with a Sergeant in charge of each squad. A fourth unit in this division is the Tactical Squad. It is commanded by a Sergeant and is comprised of five solo and four tricycle Also attached to this unit for administrative and supervisory purposes are five Meter Maids. The duties of the Tactical Squad are many and varied. Basically, they are classified as traffic control, criminal investigation, and suppression. The traffic control involves accident investigations, and daily traffic direction in congested areas during peak traffic periods. Also traffic direction for Special events such as the Oregon State Fair, the Air Fair, the Fourth of July fire works display at the Fairview Home, and all parade escorts. The latter function has contributed greatly to our public image. Criminai investigation and suppression demonstrates the versatile nature of this Squad. It can be quickly and effectively deployed against any particular crime problem, such as, burglaries, robberies, and larcenies. This has proven to be a highly effective law enforcement tool. Rotation of forces occurs every three months. This has been recently changed to coincide with the college fall, winter and Spring terms. The rotation of forces permits each officer to work at different times of the day which broadens their experience and allows them variety in their off-duty hours. Co-ordinating the rotation with the school terms allows many of the officers to attend college, with reasonable assurance that they can attend the entire term without a change in working hours. A_very high percentage have and are taking college courses of some type. The courses range from those which contribute to the general improvement of their work as police officers, such as, English, speech, and social science to those which have a direct application towards specialized police fields, such as, criminal investigation, chemistry, budget preparation, personnel, administration, narcotic investigation, and criminal law. The men taking these courses have increased their capabilities and potentials which benefit the department as a whole. In addition to the college courses, we have had several Special schools, two of which were given by Northwestern Traffic Institute. The first, a supervisors school attended by several of the sergeants. The second, a command school attended by Lieutenant Curry and Lieutenant Keuscher. Both schools were of one week duration. Our aims in encouraging personnel in their efforts towards edUcational improvement has been twofold: First, improvement of the individual officer and second, to further professionaiization of the department. There have been many changes of personnel at all levels. in May, l969, Captain Bowman was taken ill and command of the Uniform Division was assigned to Lieutenant Van Osdol. On 1 January l970, Lieutenant Van Osdol was promoted to Captain and remained in charge of this division. Lieutenant Bain was assigned to the AdministratiVe Services Division in August, I969. Sergeant Scofield was promoted to Lieutenant on August 1969, and was assigned commander of force two. Sergeant Hunter was re-assigned from the Tactical Squad to Sergeant under Lieutenant Scofield. Sergeant Neweli took charge of the Tactical Squad, and Sergeant Steward was assigned Sergeant under Lieutenant Keuscher. First Sergeant Zweigart was transferred to the Detective Division as Sergeant and Sergeant E. Ginther replaced him as ist Sergeant under Lieutenant Curry. Manpower has been at a premium the past year for three basic reasons. First, due to budgetary limitations, only one recruit training school was held during the fiscal year, and due to the scheduling requirement this allowed only one recruiting for the year. Therefore, replacement of personnel was delayed. Second, the standard required of police applicants was raised and this standard was ridgedly adherred to during all phases in the selection of new recruits. This upgrading is both beneficial and necessary to the department, but has limited the number of acceptable applicants. Third, the weeding out of less energetic employees who did not feel that they could conform to the higher standard and work level demanded by our department. These factors resulted in a continual manpower shortage up to the present time. We are presently operating with 26% less manpower in this division than we are authorized, and have for several months. This will be reduced somewhat on 2 February l970, when our recruit class graduates. At present time this class has twelve recruits. A greater demand was made on remaining personnel to increase their efficiency and to upgrade their operations. This was due in part to the manpower shortage, but mainly for the purpose of improving individual performances as well as overall departmental coordination. As a result of this program, the general conduct, morale and efficiency of our personnel has increased considerably. The improvement in individual performance contributes to a major degree in the success of the division?s overcoming many obstacles, such as, patrol area expansion, population increase, called for services and crime increases, to name only a few. Some of the physical improvements by our division were the design and construction of a new console model for the patrol units. A force commanders? office was completed, and the sergeants? office changed making more space. Also, a detail board was mounted on the wall in the command office so information on armed robberies would be available to all those concerned, thus reduce personnel traffic in the control center and at the same time allow For maximum dissemination of information during this critical period. The greatest achievements have been in the area of police supervision and management. This often unseen area is many times neglected because of its less.ostentati0us nature, but during the past year it has proven to be a major part in the division's improvements. The division's many achievements can be attributed to the efforts put forth by each and every member of the division. Needless to say, these efforts to improve the quantity and quality of service will continue in the coming year. DIVHSIDN COHHANDER Lt. Leonard E.

They are responsible in the following areas: Planning, personnel, payroll, statistics, community relations, internal affairs, public information, training, school Ilai50n and police reserves. The six sworn members of this division represent the department?s in- terests as officers in the Oregon Peace Officers Association; Region 2 Training Council of the Board on Police Standards and Training; Marion County Law Enforcement Trades Training Committee; Salem Human Relations Commission; and The Social Concerns Committee of the Chamber of Commerce. In addition, they serve on the following committees: Law Enforcement Advisory Committee, Chemeketa Community College; Oregon Law Enforcement Trades Training Committee, Steering Committee for Adult Drug Education, Marion County Extension Agent, Oregon State University; Visitors and Conventions Committee for the Chamber of Commerce; and Marion-Polk Council on Alcoholism; Our school liaison program is now in its second year of operation and has received excellent acceptance by principals and teachers in the district. During the summer our liaison officer attended a week long- juvenile c0unselling seminar at Oregon College of Education, along with those of the teaching profession, and established a rapport that has proven very productive. In September, he was sent under the auspices of a federal grant to a School Liaison Indoctrination Class at Flint, Michigan, thereby leading the rest of those interested Salem citizens by two months. In his off-duty time, our liaison officer is supervisor and coach of the Salem Boxing Club and acts as District AAU Official. The Training Academy completed the year by giving a midrterm examination to the IA persons presently enrolled in the Recruit Academy. This figure includes 12 patrolman, policewoman and the Chief of Police from Sublimity. During the year we presented our first Supervision Course which consisted of A8 hours and was given to 2] sergeants of our department as well as sergeants from other mid-Willamette Valley agencies. This course set the standards as now defined by the State Board on Police Standards and Training for the state intermediate Certification. Numerous short training courses were offered, and several training bulletins issued. The Community Relations sergeant attended the National Institute on 'Police Community Relations held at the University of Southern California at Los Angles. Expenses were covered by a personal grant from the National Conference of Christians and Jews. Plans have been finalized to instigate ?Operation Crime Stop.? a program involving support of the I citizens in reporting and preventing criminal acts. During the year this unit achieved closer cooperation with members of minority groups and channels of communication have been opened._3 Planning has been primarily for the police facilities in the new Civic Center.' Early in this stage we inspected police buildings in Washington and Southern California, and subsequently deveiOped an efficient proposal to gain maximum potential of our allotted space. Other plans were also formulated. chiefly among those was a comprehensive study regarding the feasibility of helicopter patrol.

Their primary function during the year was to service the community as much as possible through a variety of methods to better enable the community to understand the police and the police to understand the community. This unit prepared and delivered a variety of discussions for the community, covering nearly every phase of police work. (Refer to Annex). Both members of the unit belong to civic clubs, are active members in several civic committees, serve as advisors on other committees, and serve as liaison between the department and the community in several ways. The unit has taken the lead in the area with innovations of new projects to reach more of the community. Some of these new projects include, publication and disbribution of Spanish ?Rights? cards, Crime Stop Program, and Sensitivity Sessions with certain segments of the community. The unit maintains constant liaison with city government to insure proper working arrangements and to enable the department to function more efficiently with said government. Work has been active in the areas of buffering minority groups and their problems with the department, functioning mainly as an informative and investigative unit. A working rapport has been established with many members of the minorities through the efforts of this unit. The demand on this unit has increased and its effectiveness has had a far reaching effect in the surrounding communities reflecting the need for other agencies to become more involved with Police Community Relations. This unit has addressed various functions and groups on current topics of interest to the community at large. Several of these topics are as follows: . Crime Stop Drugs and Narcotics Self Protection for Women Burglary Prevention (Home and Business) Traffic Safety Safety Role of the Police in the Community Police and the Juvenile Organization and Operation of the Salem Police Department Opportunities for Careers in Law Enforcement Credit Cards and Checks The above tOpics were offered through the Speakers Bureau which is the responsibility of this unit. Several members of other divisions were utilized for Speaking but the major portion of the above subjects were handled by the two members of the Community Relations Unit. Both members of the unit are actively engaged as members of certain committees and civic organizations, some of which are: Civitan Club Active 20/30 Club Social Concerns Committee Community Action Project Human Relations Commission Citizens Alliance Committee Marion?Polk County Council on Alcoholism . Marion County Meeting on Gonorrhea Chamber of Commerce Community Council Heetings A member of this unit was present at all Town Hall meetings given by the City, and set up diSplays from the Police Department. ANNEX Total persons and number of hours Spent during 1969 are as follows: run er ON PERSONS . 599$ Public Appearances (primarilY'speeches) ?5,953 15h Station Tours 2?550 Jit?el 39 i Police Community Relations 2:7lh 237 i GRAND TOTAL - 9.277 521 SCHOOL At the present time School Liaison consists of one full-time uniformed police officer and one partftime officer. The objective of the School Liaison Program is crime prevention. He improves the relationship between young people and the police. He creates a better image of the police so the young person recognizes the police as friends and protectors rather than as a punitiVe agent. Counselling and advice are given where needed. This prOQram was commenced during the school year l968e69, when the school liaison officer appeared at a particular school only upon the request of a school teacher or school official. During that school year the liaison officer contacted 5,68] students. The contacts consisted of #6 appearances at elementary schools, l2 at high schools, and 5 at Jr. High Schools. Beginning the l969-7O school year the program was escalated. Letters were sent to each school principal in the school district explaining what the Police Department h0ped_t0 accomplish by being in the schools, and subjects that a police officer could and would discuss either in classroom or school assemblies. Letters were also written to all teachers. The school liaison officer made pre-school visits to the schools to meet officials and teachers (obtaining the school officials confidence is a very important phase of the program). After school started, the liaison officer made several speaking and unofficial visits. The officer also ate lunch in each school and continues to eat with the students on a rotating basis. In addition, riding programs have been undertaken so the students may experience the duties and problems of police. Jail and station tours have also been conducted to broaden the total concept of law enforcement. in one Jr. High School a pilot program was initiated. The officer concentrated on a small group of boys who were classed as problems by the school authorities. Although.insufficient time has elapsed to evaluate the success of this attempt, it appears to offer a high degree of possibility due to the obvious change of attitude noted during the contact. From September, 1969, until 3i December l969, the school liaison officer made lh6 Speaking engagements, contacting lh,783 students. The officer lectured for le hours on police related subjects. There were 72 elementary school contacts, hi junior high and 23 senior high school Speaking_engagements. The school liaison officer also makes regular non-Speaking visits to the schools, visiting P.E. classes and other school functions. All school visits are made in police uniform.
