Th* University Office of Public Safety
Is on# of the last In the country to (topic
man! a law that would allow (IPS officials
to stop and frisk alleged criminal*
This is because of a < areful review
process and because it tackad a director
for part of winter term, said Tom Hicks,
associate director of public saf*ty.
The University want* to make sure all
officers are familiar with the policy before
acting on it, Hicks said. Oregon public
universities may choose whether to
implement the new policy.
Stan Reeves. OPS director. *aid he is
not sure when the policy will go into
effect, but be horses it will be within the
next year, he said
This law gives all public institutions in
Oregon the right to allow their security
officers to stop and frisk suspects under
reasonable suspicion, Hicks said Bui off)
cials must be aware that a crime has been
committed and that the person they have
apprehended is responsible for the crime
In the past. OPS officials had only the
authority of private citizens to perform the
duties of security officers, but Hit k* said
establishing this taw will make it easier
for officers to apprehend alleged perpetra
tors without worrying about lawsuits.
