Of the Keizertimes
Giving to presidential
campaigns fell sharply in the
fourth quarter of 2019, but
Keizer residents threw the
most fi nancial support to Sen.
Bernie Sanders.
Businessman Andrew Yang,
who dropped out of the race
last week, topped Sanders’ to-
tal contributions, but the sup-
port came from only two do-
nors. Sanders had eight donors
in total.
ProPublica recently shared
fourth quarter reports from
every state’s campaign giv-
ing. Keizertimes culled the
contributions from Keizer res-
idents for this story.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren led
in campaign donations in the
third quarter of 2019 and fell
to third as the year closed out,
but she is still far and away the
biggest recipient of Keizer’s
presidential campaign cash.

Butler said.
Keizer Fire Chief Jeff
Cowan, who has been with
KFD since 2008, said that
the station only gets around
70 calls per year for fi res,
but that the vast majority of
calls go towards emergency
medical services (EMS) —

KPD rolls out Citizens Academy
KEIZERTIMES/Eric A. Howald
Lt. Andrew Copeland leads members of the KPD Citi-
zens Academy on a tour of the police evidence room.
By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
Every Thursday night for the
next few weeks, the Keizer Police
Department is giving about a
dozen Keizer residents an inside
look into how policing works
as part of its second Citizens
Academy.
For now, the residents selected
for the program are invited to
participate, but the plan is to open
up the rolls to every resident of the
city in the future.
On Thursday, Feb. 13, the
syllabus was a deep dive into
how police offi cers in Keizer are
approaching crime.
Lt. Andrew Copeland and
Crime Analyst Cara Steele led
discussions before taking a tour
of the police station. Copeland
encouraged
participants
to
envision the three components of
crime as the points of a triangle.
One point is the potential offender,
the second is a suitable target, the
third is a guardian.
“The offender is looking for
the moment the guardian isn't
paying attention and that's when
a crime occurs,” Copeland said.
“Solving the guardian role is the
focus of crime prevention.”
One of Steele's many roles in
the department is to watch for
data trends that reveal the spaces in
the city where suitable targets are
being consistently left unguarded.
She uses a variety of tactics to
develop “intelligence,” or data that
has been analyzed, which she then
uses to help department offi cials
deploy offi cers in ways that deter
criminal activity.
Some of the things she looks at
to crack cases border on humorous.
“If we have a series of car clouts
(break-ins) in a neighborhood,
one of the things I look for is if
there is a known offender who has
a mother or mother of children
in the neighborhood. We know
that there is a good chance those
offenders will be in the area because
criminals love their moms,” Steele
said. “What they are looking for is
targets of opportunity.”
