Recruits learn about the complexities
of traffic stops early in the 16week po
lice academy. They’re covered during
the use of force section.
The Range 3000 system offers com
putersimulated scenarios in two train
ing rooms. Recruits go through the
paces of a traffic stop facing a giant
video screen, armed with a laserbeam
pistol, taser and pepper spray. An in
structor sitting at a monitor in the back
of the room can change the scenario as it
unfolds.
Scott Willadsen, use of force coordi
nator at DPSST and a former Union
County Sheriff ’s Deputy, puts Stradley
through a couple of scenarios to demon
strate the system.
One is a “rolling domestic,” where a
man and woman have been reported ar
guing in a vehicle. Stradley pulls them
over and both occupants end up exiting
the vehicle. The male driver is belliger
ent and only complies after Stradley
draws his taser.
In the second scenario, Stradley pulls
over a vehicle for speeding in a neigh
borhood.
The driver is hostile as he hands over
his license and registration. Stradley
learns he’s armed and dangerous, asks
for a cover unit, and does not reap
proach the vehicle. All the while he
keeps an eye on the driver, who can be
seen leaning over in the front seat and
seconds later firing a gun out the win
Is there a Willamette Valley area non
profit organization that could use
funds? The Big LeBocce charity tourna
ment is a chance for teams to play and
earn money for the charities of their
choice.
For $100, a team of four can compete
in the bocce ball tournament at Vander
beck Valley Farms in Mt. Angel and earn
money for the local nonprofit they’ve
named as beneficiary.
Sponsored by AmeriTitle, the tour
ney is set for Wednesday, June 19.
Teams must register by June 5. Family,
friends, kids, and community members
are welcome. No previous experience or
skill is required. Food and drinks will be
onsite for purchase. Questions? Contact
dow. Stradley returns fire.
Willadsen debriefs Stradley about
his decisions.
“Even if somebody shoots you
doesn’t necessarily mean you have the
ability to shoot back,” said Stradley, not
ing if the backdrop of the vehicle in the
second scenario had been a schoolyard
instead of foliage he would have had to
find a different angle.
Across the hall in another training
room, recruits get “live” experience.
Their pistols are loaded with plastic
tipped rounds for these confrontational
simulations. Getting shot hurts by de
sign so recruits don’t get comfortable
going into a rain of gunfire.
In one traffic stop scenario, the “sus
pect” exits the vehicle and fires shots at
the “officer,” who gets hit in the leg and
applies a tourniquet. It was eerily like
what happened last week with the Sa
lem Police officer, although shots were
fired from inside the vehicle.
Instruction can be a life saver
Instructors debrief recruits after
each scenario, which they believe is just
as valuable as the exercise itself. They
point out what recruits did right and
wrong and discuss whether the use of
force was appropriate.
It’s nearly impossible to train for ev
erything that could happen in a traffic
stop, and mistakes will inevitably be
made at the academy and in the real
world. The goal is to not make a mistake
that will cost an officer his or her life.
“There’s no way to tell them ‘When
this happens, do this,’ “ Stradley said.

Garden Tour blooms a fifth time

Garden Tour on Saturday, June 8, seven
inspired private gardens in “Oregon’s
Garden City” will be open for viewing.

walk through these beautiful gardens
and watch their own ideas grow. Tickets
are $20 when purchased ahead of time
and $25 dayof. Kids 10andunder are
free. Buy online at www.silvertonto
gether.org or in person at Silverton To
gether, Silverton Chamber of Commerce
or Silverton Farmers Market. The event
is sponsored by Silverton Garden Club
and Silverton Together.
First Friday music coming to Mt.
Angel and Silverton
This month, Silverton’s First Friday
celebration – which typically means
special offers, hours and music down
town – includes a pair of concerts, one
in Mt. Angel and one in Silverton.
On June 1, Mt. Angel Towers Retire
ment Community is hosting dinner and
a concert. Dinner starts at 4 p.m., and it
will be followed by prizes, drinks and a
performance by Charlie & His Angels.
Weather permitting the concert will be
outside.
In Silverton, the First Friday concert
series will feature John Collison, pianist
and director of music at Silverton Unit
ed Methodist Church, which is also the
venue. Collison will perform with col
leagues from his church’s ensembles.
The church is located at 203 W. Main
St. For more information, call 503873
6517.
“That doesn’t exist in our world. We pre
pare them the best we are able to make
quick, decisive decisions for a better,
safer and proper conclusion.”
Willadsen said quick, decisive deci
sionmaking doesn’t necessarily mean
quick, decisive action. A tactical retreat
may be the right decision.
The recruits take turns playing the
role of the bad guys, too.
“There’s a huge amount of value in
them being on both sides of the equa
tion,” Willadsen said. “They get to see
overreaction on both sides.”
Training focuses on communication
and awareness. Recruits learn how to
deal with adrenaline and stress because
they will have to make complex deci
sions in fractions of a second.
paranoid. The hope is their training and
approach will minimize risk and prevent
complacency.
“It’s very difficult preparing for
something that’s probably not going to
happen,” Stradley said.
Once a recruit graduates from the
academy, his or her training continues
with their respective hiring agency.
Salem Police assigns each of its
recruits to a Field Training Officer, an
experienced member of the department
who provides ongoing instruction, su
pervision and guidance for about six
months. Four phases of field training al
low progressively more independence
until the recruit is allowed to operate so
lo.
The department also conducts con
frontation simulation training four
times a year for its officers and not just
on traffic stops but domestic calls and
EDPs, or emotionally disturbed per
sons.
In light of what happened, Salem Po
lice could gear the next quarterly train
ing toward best practices for traffic
stops.
“Generally, when a large event like
that occurs, our trainers will go back
and create scenarios similar to that so
we can work on those,” Upkes said.
“Forward This” taps into the heart of
the Mid-Valley — its people, history, and
issues. Contact Capi Lynn at

week on Twitter @CapiLynn and Face-

Traffic stops start with respect
The first 28 years of his career, Stra
dley worked on the streets in Portland.
He made thousands of traffic stops,
each time gathering information about
the surroundings and trying to antici
pate what the driver might do.
The tactics haven’t changed since he
first put on a uniform in 1983.
“How you try to approach a car is to
treat everyone with kindness, compas
sion, empathy and respect, and at the
same time be prepared for a deadly force
encounter,” Stradley said. “Both have to
be in play, even though most officers
throughout their career will never face
that; 99.9 percent of the time the person
in the car is just a nice, decent person.”
Instructors at the academy talk to
recruits about being vigilant but not
