BOARD OF EDUCATION DISARMS OFFICERS
The campus safety officers will not only
lose their badges but also their guns.
A fter m uch debate, the Clackam as
Com m unity College board of education
came to an agreement and Bob Cochran,
dean o f campus services, elaborated on
the subject. "Their resolution was starting
July 1 our officers won’t be armed, that
was a decision they made in conjunction
w ith th e d e c o m m is s io n in g ,” said
Cochran. “ W hen our renewal came up,
they said we’re going to decommission
you also so we are not giving you police
powers.”
One resolution is the decommissioning
and disarming o f campus officers.
“ There’ s a potential for two contracts,
w ith either Oregon City or Clackam as
County officers, next school year, that will
be on campus to provide police powers,”
said Cochran.
One o f our cam pus safety officers,
Timothy Cato said, “ It’ s a change that
we h ad n ’ t anticip ated . I t’ s goin g to
change our abilities drastically but we
have a com munity to serve here so we
have to adapt and do the best we can
with what means we have and with the
advancem ents o f a deputy contracted
we’ll still have that police presence here.”
A threat on campus can occur anytime,
w ith or w ithout arm ed o fficers. The
college works in preventing this by having
a behavioral intervention team, constant
assessments and interactions with each
other.
The college is still on the hunt for a new
campus safety director. Cochran said that
it was necessary to wait for the board of
education to com e into an agreem ent
about the officers in order to complete
the overview o f the job. They are now
working with a recruiter and have a job
posting on the website.
Cato said, “ W hether w e’ re police or
not, I think that our safety level is very
high here.”
