Sheriff
candidate
calls
for
change
in
priorities
Bv LANCE DICKIE
Of the Emerald
David Larry’s campaign
slogan, “A Friend on the Force,”
summarizes his community
oriented changes envisioned for
law enforcement, if elected
Sheriff of Lane County.
Larry, running as an In
dependent, outlined his plans for
change at a Thursday morning
Eugene Hotel press conference,
and later as a noon time speaker
to 100 students at the Free Speech
Platform.
Revised enforcement
priorities, improved officer
training and Community Ad
visory Boards are seen by Larry
as keys to improving the quality
and “tone” of law enforcement in
Lane County.
In terms of re-ordering police
priorities, Larry said he would
place a greater emphasis on
crimes which actually threaten
persons and property. The
candidate cited the example of
arrests for hitch-hiking, which
have out-numbered the combined
arrests made for speeding,
reckless driving, careless driving
and speed contests, as at best, an
inappropriate use of the officers'
time and more generally as a
source of resentment towards the
sheriff’s department.
In calling for improved officer
training, Larry stressed that he
did not mean instruction in the
technical skills of day to day
police work, but in more com
munity oriented skills, such as
those required in handling family
quarrels, mass demonstrations
and drug abuse.
Larry pointed out that such
training would not require ad
ditional expense to the taxpayer,
because existing agencies and
programs, such as White Bird,
could be used as information
sources Larry praised efforts by
the Eugene City Police in im
proving community relations.
Replacement of traditional
uniforms with blazers and a
relaxing of appearance codes
were described by Larry as
constructive moves towards
“ umanizing” law enforcement
personnel in the eyes of the
public.
“The police are the most
' isible and active form of the
go\crnment that most people
encounter, and if we are to have
a positive ’elationship between

the police and the community,we
must orient our administrative
efforts around this goal,” Larry
said. To facilitate this
relationship, Larry said he would
create a series of Community
Advisory Boards throughout the
county.
According to Larry, the people
of the local communities and the
deputies assigned to the area
could work toward establishing a
rapport that would encourage a
trust and respect for one another.
Larry stated, “The Sheriff’s
department cannot best serve the
law enforcement and safety
needs of the community unless it
is open to voices of the people."
If elected Sheriff, Larry said he
would call for an evaluation of the
benefits of continued par
ticipation in the Lane In
teragency Narcotics Team
(LINT). At present, Larry feels
LINT has been ineffective in its
efforts to control the flow of hard
drugs into the county.
