Niko also said that he did have encounters with the son while walking a dog and that the last time it happened “he did not run him over, but he did not slow down for him and his dog.” He also claimed he was not speeding at the time. Lt. Andrew Copeland said the incident was the only one of its kind he could fi nd in Keizer in recent years. The last one was in 2010 and involved a threat painted on a curbside. Regardless, he said the Keizer Police Department wants resi- dents to report such incidents if they are victimized or witness them. “If we can establish a pattern of behavior for a specifi c group or person, where they’re con- tinually slandering or input- ting their bias against a specifi c race or gender or whatever, that would be very good to docu- ment for the police department so we can build up that case if something does happen,” Co- peland said. “If we have a group that’s being discriminated against, we need to see what we can do to help them out.” Ideally, he added, police would be able to confront the antagonizer before it rises to the level of physical harm.

They’re calling the cops, something bad happened – their house got broken into, they’re frustrated, they’ve been assaulted, domestic violence,” Copeland said. “So for an of- fi cer to come in and see youth full of life and love, it just brings meaning back to the job. It’s healthy for both, sometimes more healthy for the cops.” As a point of contrast, in the Salem Police Department, Lt. Debbie Aguilar is a liaison to the Salem Human Rights Commission that works with victims of hate- and bias-mo- tivated incidents. Aguilar edu- cates fellow offi cers on what constitutes bias incidents and hate crimes and sets aside in- cident reports suspected of in- volving bias motives so they can be brought to the attention of MONTHLY RENT: Cost Varies the commission and dealt with. Copeland said the thing the department needs most is more people and time to devote to connecting with the commu- nity. Even after the department added fi ve offi cers, it remains relatively bare-bones for a city the size of Keizer. A commu- nity resource offi cer works on issues around community con- nection, but she only works part-time. “If we had someone who could reach out and set up the meetings, to establish relation- ships, set up a meeting with an agenda” it would create an avenue for better communica- tion and better dialogue about community issues between community members and the police department, Copeland said.
