PAGE A2, KEIZERTIMES, SEPTEMBER 21, 2018 KPD makes push for #9PM Routine Keizer has been fortunate to see a decrease in the number of car break-ins, known as car clouts, and residential burglaries this year, but the Keizer Police Department (KPD) thinks residents can do better. Starting Monday, Sept. 24, the Keizer Police Department will be encouraging residents to strengthen their home secu- rity measures by participating in the “9PM Routine.” Developed by Florida’s Pasco County Sheriff ’s offi ce and adopted by communi- ties across the nation, the 9PM Routine is a reminder that everyone has the power to reduce the risk of property crimes occur- ring in our neighborhoods by: • Locking all our doors and windows • Locking our vehicles and removing be- longings • Turning on outside lights • Securing bicycles and lawn equipment • Double-checking security cameras and alarms KPD will post a nightly reminder on Facebook, Twitter and Nextdoor all week, and will include tips that residents can use to reduce their risk of becoming a victim of theft or other property crimes. As an incentive to participate in the 9PM Routine, social media users who share 9PM Routine posts on Facebook or comment positively on Nextdoor postings will be au- tomatically entered into a free drawing to win a starter pack of home security devices valued at approximately $50 in total. All of the items are equally suitable for renters and home-owners. One entry per person; dead- line to enter is 11:59 p.m. Friday Sept. 28. Residents are encouraged to help spread the word about the 9PM Routine by in- cluding #9PMRoutine in social media posts about their routines. Keizer residents reported 152 car clouts between the beginning of 2018 and Sept. 1 and 30 burglaries in the same timeframe. Those numbers represent decreases of 9 per- cent and 23 percent, respectively, during the same time period in 2017. police scanner MONDAY, SEPT. 10 WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 12 FRIDAY, SEPT. 14 • 12 a.m. - Criminal damage on 1200 block Candlewood Drive NE. • 2:38 p.m. - Traffi c accident at intersection of Chemawa Road N and Chehalis Court N. • 3:27 p.m. - Traffi c accident at intersection of Chemawa Road N and Chehalis Court N. • 8:30 p.m. - Hit-and-run on 5000 block River Road N. • 8:30 p.m. - Arrest for assault on 1200 block Lockhaven Drive NE. • 12:01 a.m. - Theft from motor vehicle on 300 block Hollyhock Place N. • 4:29 p.m. - Parole violation on 700 block Manbrin Drive NE. • 9:03 p.m. - Purse-snatching on 100 block McNary Estates Drive N. • 10:48 p.m. - Arrest on bench warrant and violation of release agreement on 800 block Foothill Court NE. • 11:27 p.m. - Arrest on warrant on 800 block Foothill Court NE. • 7 p.m. - Motor vehicle theft on 900 block Orchard Street N. • 10 p.m. - Unlawful entry into and theft from motor vehicle on on 800 block Orchard Street N. • 11:12 p.m. - Arrest on warrant at intersection of Cherry Avenue NE and Plymouth Drive NE.

School district nullifi es Kennedy ‘no dating’ contract By DEREK WILEY Of the Keizertimes When Kylee Blake Pedersen asked her son, a fi fth grader at Kennedy Elementary, how his day was, she got an unexpected answer. Her son informed Pedersen that his class was required to sign a “No Discussion of Dat- ing Contract.” The contract was given by Kennedy behavioral specialist John Moran. Concerned that her son had been asked to sign some- thing without her knowledge, Pedersen went to Kennedy the following morning to see the contract. The fi rst sentence stated, “I (insert student’s name) under- stand that it is a school-wide policy at Kennedy Elementary School to refrain from discuss- ing dating, boyfriends, girl- friends, and any related matters at school.” According to the contract, “discussing” included talking, gossiping, spreading rumors, writing and passing notes, daring others to date, playing games around dating and any- thing else related to dating. Students had to consent to their desk being searched for notes at any time by staff mem- bers and if any were found, they would be in violation of the contract. Consequences for violating the contract included: spending recess and/or lunch in the of- fi ce, loss of privileges at school (assemblies, class parties, fi eld trips, jobs in the classroom or at school, being a peer media- tor), a phone call home, parent meetings with the principal and suspension. According to the Salem- Keizer School District, the contract was brought to one classroom at Kennedy. “He (Moran) was going • 12:34 p.m. - Traffi c accident on 4600 block River Road N. • 8:34 p.m. - Arrest for driving while suspended on 1200 block Harmony Drive NE.
