Training Program Helps
Landlords Act Against
Drug Houses
I he Planning & Support Division
o f the Portland Police Bureau will
open a new series o f the Landlord
Training Program; three training ses­
sions will be held in Portland.
1) Friday, March 22, 1996, 8:30
am to 4 3 0 pm at the David Douglas
High School Cafetorium, 1001 SE
135th (between Stark and Division).
2) Thursday, March 28,1996,8:30
am to 4:30 pm at the Portland Build­
ing, 1120 SW 5th
3) Saturday, April 6, 1996, 8:30
am to 4:30 pm, at the Providence
Medical Center Amphitheater, 4805
NE Gilsan Street.
Over 7,000 landlords and proper­
ty managers have taken the course in
Portland since it began in 1989.
Reactions are consistently strong
and positive: landlords and manag­
ers overwhelmingly agree the train­
ing increased their confidence in
screening rental applicants and their
ability to recognize warning signs o f
drug activity.
The program was developed for
the Portland Police Bureau by John
H. Campbell o f Campbell DeLong
Resources, Inc. This program has
now been replicated in many juris­
dictions across the country.
The trainings are open to the pub­
lic, property owners and managers
from all areas o f town are encour­
aged to attend.
Space is limited, so advance regis­
tration is requested. Last day to regis­
ter is March 11,1996. Cost is $ 10 per
person, including one manual, or $ 15
per couple including one manual.

Neighborhood Seeks Restoration Of Status
On March 6 at 7:00 p.m. at the
Columbia Cottage (Lombard and
Russet) neighbors in the Portsmouth
area weighed the advantages o f or­
ganizing a new neighborhood asso­
ciation.
The Portsmouth area has been
without representation as part o f
the City o f Portland’s neighbor­
hood program since January o f this
year.
The City withdrew recognition
from previous neighborhood asso­
ciation after members ofthat group
voted to stop the association from
conducting business.
Since that tim e n eig h b o rs in
the P ortsm outh a re a , bounded
by N. L om bard, N. C h a ta q u a ,
