PAGE 12, KEIZERTIMES, JANUARY 30, 2015 TEAGUE: ‘We’re good for the next 20 years.’ (Continued from pg. 1) Teague referenced a fore- closed house on Verda Lane last year where transients were squatters. CRU members made contact numerous times, after forcing the New York bank owning the property to do a foreclosure notice. “Those are the kinds of things you want us to do,” Teague told audience mem- bers. “It not only makes you feel safer, you are safer.” Attacking drug issues is an example of a delicate balance. “The payoff has been tre- mendous,” Teague said. “We have shut down some of the drug houses that were can- cerous. But it came at the expense of the Traffi c Safety Unit. We reassigned them into CRU. We couldn’t focus on organized retail crime, which is a major problem at Keizer Station.” There is another issue with using POP. “The problem with POP is how do you measure if you’re doing a good job?” Teague asked rhetorically. “If the goal is community safety, how do you measure it? It’s easy to measure things like calls and citations. But that doesn’t tell you how safe you feel. I’m not real clear on how to measure that.” Teague pointed to the bar- ricade on Sandy Drive behind McNary High School as a trouble spot for more than 20 years. “It was a major neighbor- hood problem,” Teague said. “We worked with the school. We put the gate up, shut and locked it. Bill (Lawyer, Public Works director) worked with the builders at the new (St. Edward) church to put up a gate. That has solved a 25-year problem. That is POP.” While offi cers on patrol are still stopping cars, Teague said offi cers are being asked to as- sess the situation before auto- matically handing out a ticket. “I want my guys talking to people,” Teague said. “In the Salem-Keizer School District, 49 percent of students come from an impoverished home. A $200 ticket may have a gen- erational impact. If a ticket can affect a family to that degree, (giving it) does not cut down on crime in Keizer. We need to pay attention to what we’re doing to people.” Mayor Cathy Clark noted the chief has added a forensics investigator position, which Teague said is necessary giv- en the rise in electronics and technology these days. “I asked before Christmas if there is an exam we can give (to applicants),” Teague said. “Part of the job responsibil- ity is to scout the Internet for child pornography in the area. I don’t want to hire someone who will go sideways on us, because it would wear on a guy. There is so much we do around electronics these days, it can be two-thirds of a de- tective’s time. That (new posi- tion) will be a real boon for us. Not a lot of agencies have that in-house, but all of them are desperate for that.” Clark referred back to the change between Adams and Teague in the budget process, since Adams often asked for several more cops to be added to the KPD roster. “We had to wrap our minds around you not asking for 10 cops,” Clark said. Teague emphasized the importance of being effi cient with 37 cops, which is down from a peak of 41 cops. “If we run the numbers, a city our size ought to have 74 cops, in an average for the na- tion,” Teague said. “In Oregon it should be 54 cops. By no means do we need 54 cops in Keizer. We’re good for the next 20 years. That is good ef- fi ciency.” Councilor Kim Freeman noted community surveys in recent years have shown citi- zens want more offi cers on the street. “Chief, what are your thoughts if people want more offi cers on the street?” Free- man asked. “If this is what the chief needs, we will back him up. It’s the job of the council to support him.” Teague noted he will sup- port the budget city manager Chris Eppley comes up with. “What we need is another motor cop and two more of- fi cers for the night shift,” he said. “When it comes to bud- get, I will back my city man- ager.” John Doneth accepts the First Citizen award at last year’s Keizer First Citizen Awards Banquet. KEIZERTIMES fi le/ Eric A. Howald RISING, continued from Page 1 and Larry Jackson. The Service to Education nominees are Ch uck and Krina Lee, JoAnne Beilke, Jim Taylor, Scott Co- burn and John Honey. The different part ties in with this year’s theme of Ris- ing to the Occasion. “You can bring someone in who will be recognized that night,” said Audrey But- ler, president of the Keizer Chamber of Commerce board. “Maybe it’s someone you want to recognize. We will have small awards.” Christine Dieker, execu- tive director of the Keizer Chamber of Commerce that puts the event on, said the idea ties in nicely with this year’s theme. “We are wanting to start something special with this rising to the occasion recogni- tion,” Dieker said. With a table, a business or organization that wants to honor and recognize those rising to the occasion daily or annually can do so. They might not be considered for the main awards, but they are the workhorses behind the scenes. They are doing what they are passionate about.” As an example, Dieker said her husband’s company is sponsoring a table and rec- ognizing the coach of their daughter’s soccer team. She also noted Chemeketa Com- munity College is sponsoring a table and wants to honor people at McNary High School. “We’re so happy about that,” Dieker said. “Sometimes we can’t thank those kind of people enough. This is for businesses, schools or govern- ment organizations to sponsor a table. Maybe they have a list of people and will share one or two. The sponsors of the ta- bles will be recognized and get better seats. They will also get the warm feeling that comes with this.” At this point, it’s unclear if the new recognition will be a one-time deal or will become annual. “I would love to see it be annual, but let’s see the par- ticipation level,” Dieker said. “I would love to see 15 tables of that nature.” Dieker noted steps are be- ing taken to ensure the main award winners don’t get over- shadowed in any way. “The main recipients will be presented their awards as they have in the past, given by (last year’s) recipients of each of those awards,” Dieker said. “They will have that platform on the stage, as much time as we’ve had in the past. The ris- ing to occasion recipients will not be brought to the stage. They will be in the program and we’ll have them stand at the table. There will be a cam- era going around the room with an introduction of our rising people. We’ll highlight them quickly on the screen. It’s their 20 seconds of fame. Many of these people have never been to the banquet be- fore.” There are other smaller changes this year, including a return to the Keizer Quality Suites. “We love to give an oppor- tunity for all of our chamber members to spend money (at the hotel),” Dieker said. “We want to do it in a rotating fash- ion. The caterer we brought in last year was a chamber mem- ber, while the Quality Inn is as well. It is a nice venue.” Things will also sound a bit different this year. “We are doing professional audio this year,” Dieker said. “We decided to increase the ambiance. Nathan Bauer will be the emcee.” Last year’s winners were John Doneth (First Citizen), Rob Miller (Merchant of the Year) and Ron Hittner (Service to Education). For the fi rst time, two President’s Awards were handed out last year, to Mark Caillier and Mc- Nary High School teacher Jim Taylor.
