The Local Public Safety Coordinating Council (LPSCC) is spearheading Multnomah County's collaborative response to the State of Oregon's Justice Reinvestment efforts set forth in HB 3194. The goal of the State effort is to reduce prison use, reduce recidivism, increase public safety, return cost savings to Locals, and redeploy savings at the State level.

We are requesting assistance from your Crime Analysis On Demand program. We are currently in the process of signing a settlement agreement with the US Dept. Of Justice Civil Rights Division and will need to improve our ability to compile and analyze crime related data as a part of that agreement. Additionally, the agreement will place significant strain on our existing analytic resources so any training/advice on how to streamline our current operations will be valuable.

We have an increase in domestic violence calls for service. We also have an increase in burglaries and vandalism. I believe the underlying problem to all of the increase in crime is due to the increase in drug use/abuse.

Our community has various issues with street gangs and motorcycle gangs as well as drug sales and use. We have very little funding available to provide training to educate law enforcement on these topics and many of the usual resources (NCTC, MAGLOCLEN) have reduced their training due to a reduction in funding.

We would like an expert, Dr. Stacey Patton, to attend a conference that will be held on June 10 and June 11, 2014 at Madison WI.

We are asking for travel assistance.
