Police, con’t from page 13
television today. These programs, as well
as many others in the past, have
influenced the public’s perception of
what law enforcement does. In reality,
statistics show that 80 percent of our time
is spent providing service to our
respective communities, not writing
tickets every 30 minutes or being
involved in high-speed chases
every shift.
The Siletz Tribal Police will strive to
provide all routine police service plus
many things that larger departments
don’t have time for. This is, of course,
because the crime rate is lower and
officers will have more opportunities to
interact with more residents during
each shift.
We will not be faced with running
from call to call with little time to
complete reports in between. Our staff
will become involved in the community
that they serve, rather than just work in
it. I am currently a volunteer firefighter,
attend Siletz City Council meetings, and
participate with the Oregon Together
group that serves the Siletz Valley.
