Department
of Public Safety (DPS): Senate Bill 565 Implementation- Greg Moawad
o
In 2011, Greg came to a
Student Council meeting to talk about raising professionalism and emergency
preparedness in Department of Public Safety
o
In 2008, OHSU convened the Critical
Incident Readiness Task Force that looked at Portland Police Bureau’s ability
to respond to the hill in a mass causality incident. It was found that there was a 7-15 minute response
time
§ Found Portland Police cannot adequately provide coverage, and
the Department of Public Safety lacks legal authority to protect the
campus.
§ Recommended OHSU should seek legislation to provide DPS with
police officer authority and now has 24 state-certified police officers.
§ It was also recommended that OHSU should arm DPS officers or
contract with police agency for armed presence. Found contracting is unworkable
due to service issues, low value and inadequate training levels.
§ Goal was to build something from the ground up partly due to
the unique mental health needs of OHSU community.
o
2013’s Senate Bill 565 was
set up to do this
§ Two committees, training and policy, were set up. Training included 130 hours of additional
training around force mental health critical incident training.
§ Annual training of 96 hours around mental health interactions
that is 8-12 times the state standard
§ Policy team drafted changes on strategic disengagement that
allows officers to extricate themselves in instances that risks to themselves
or the individual outweighed the public good.
This is first in the nation policy and will hopefully decrease excessive
force employed against the mentally ill.
o
June 26th Greg
will go to OHSU Board of Directors for permission to arm officers subject to
completion of training program on September 15th.
o
CLSB will have one armed
officer at night. Prepared to have armed officer at CLSB during daytime if
needed. CHH officer will remain unarmed.
o
Majority of the officers
will be on Marquam Hill
·
