The Restitution Center provides
a structured environm ent which fa­
cilitates the reintegration o f offenders
into society. Restitution activities in­
clude work release, payment of room and
board, payment of court ordered restitu­
tion and required community work
projects.
Stein praised the cooperation be­
tween the Sheriff’s Office and the
DCC. “Taxpayers can be proud that
we are developing new ways to make
the m ost efficient use o f our facilities.
Both the expanded capacity of the
system and the focus on quick re­
sponse to offenders who are using
drugs will increase public safety. The
DROP program will reduce recidi­
vism and make ourcom m unity safer.”

“C hief M oose is a man worthy of
honor, and we all benefit from the role
he serves in ourcom m unity. And while
he leads by exam ple, I call upon other

Furse Honors Portland Police Chief Moose
Congressw om an Elizabeth Furse
lonored Portland Police C hief Charles
Moose during W ednesday nights (Feb-
•uary 23,1994), congressional Spe­
cial O rders celebrating Black History
Month. Furse paid tribute to the
bureau’s first African Am erican po­
lice chief for serving as a role model
ind leader for young African Ameri-
:an men. Follow ing are her rem arks.
“The m essage has com e from
iround the nation; it has been deliv-
;red loud and clear from African
Americans who know. The m essage is
that it’s vital that young A frican
A m erican men have role m odels,
mentors and leaders in their ow n com ­
munity. They need to see that there is
hope for their future, and that there are
alternatives to guns, gangs, violence
and drugs. It is only then that we can
hope to stem the violence, destruction
and disillusion of so many people’s lives.”
“I’m pleased to stand here today
and honor P o rtlan d P o lice C h ie f
C harles M oose, the first A frican
American police chief for the city of
Portland. He is a strong advocate o f
program s that highlight youths, gang
prevention, education and com m u­
nity policing. He is known by name by
m any people in the com m unity. He is
a man who still w alks the beat and
stays in touch with people in their
neighborhoods.”
“But C hief M oose is m ore than
ju st head o f a large m etropolitan po­
lice force in my home district. He also
leads by exam ple. W hen he was pro­
moted to the top slot at the Bureau, he
could have m oved to the suburbs and
avoided problem s that often plague
cities, like decay, hopelessness, vio­
lence and crim e. But C hief M oose
made a com m itm ent to the city and to
the people o f Portland. He moved into
the heart o f the A frican A m erican
community. He wanted to send the
