DIEHL: Duties span a wide range of tasks
ning of the year and that includes everything
from public assistance to welfare checks to vio-
lent crime.
“We do have problems with car clouts,
but it’s nowhere near that level,” Kuhns said.
“When that type of misinformation is spread-
ing it takes on a whole new dimension, and
we have to prioritize (counteracting) it over
other things.”
While those can be some of the more frus-
trating aspects of the job, Diehl said she has al-
ready been part of rewarding tasks at KPD. On
her second day, she helped clean up a transient
camp in north Keizer and was privy to the dis-
cussions between offi cers and public, she’s also
given tours where the visitors started off more
afraid of the police and warmed up to them by
the end. Both of those have had an impact on
how she’s approaching the job.
“I’m excited to be the one going out and
shaking hands and being a point of contact for
the department. I want to be a resource for
the people who maybe don’t have an urgent
need, but simply a question they want to have
answered about what we do and how we do
it,” Diehl said.
Diehl can be contacted at 503-390-3713,
ext. 3472, or via email at diehld@keizer.org.

Diehl’s job become a full-time endeavor once
the city’s budget allows.
“When she’s not here all that work still
needs to be done, and fl eet problems don’t oc-
cur on a part-time schedule,” Inman said.
One of Diehl’s major undertakings in re-
cent weeks has been reaching out to the city’s
neighborhood associations and neighborhood
watches.
“I’ve been making cold calls to fi gure out
which groups are still active, which ones want
to reactivate and what the department can do
to help them in those areas,” Diehl said. “If
anyone out there wants to start a new one, we
can help with that, too.”
One aspect of the job that could easily usurp
her time is monitoring online social networks,
not only for problems, but for the spread of
misinformation.
In one recent incident, a resident had their
car broken into and reported it to police who
gave him a case number, which happened to
be 1,000. The victim took that to mean there
had been 1,000 car break-ins since the begin-
ning of the year and posted that online. The
reality is that the victim’s case was the 1,000th
one police had responded to since the begin-
