Shop own ers tape up snapshots o f them selves with Moose. Everywhere he goes, the chief is recognized. However, the chief has found public attention has a di fferent side: scrutiny o f his actions, especially outside work stemming from the sniper investigation that he headed. To some extent, the chief has made his new fame work for him. He is writing a book due out this fall. Moose and his wife formed a crisis management consulting company called “Two Moose: A Caring Part nership.” But he may face a significant hurdle for his plans. M oose’s post sniper activities may violate strict ethics laws that generally prohibit Montgomery County officials from profiting from their w ork. Moose must get approval from the county’s ethics commission for his outside work. The board is ex pected to review the book deal, consulting company, and a com m u nity co lleg e te ach in g post Moose has held for two years. Ethicists say Moose finds him self in a fami I iar position for people suddenly and unexpectedly pro pelled into fame. Duncan. The executive called M oose’s failure to get timely ap proval fortheconsultingand teach ing work an oversight and said the chief should have a chance to tell his story through a book. M oose did not respond to re quests for com m ent, but his wife said in a recent interview that the couple expected the board to ap prove the consulting firm and M o ose’s other work. “ E verything is going to be looked at,” Sandy M oose said. “The ethics com m ission has work to do. T h ey ’ll do that work and we’ ll be fine.” Before coming to Montgomery County, Moose served six years as police chief in Portland. He drew national attention by moving into one o f the city’s toughest neighbor hoods, a demonstration he said showed his commitment tocommu- nity policing. In 1999, he moved to M ont gom ery County, a largely afflu ent W ashington suburb with a low crim e rate and a relatively low -profile police departm ent. But M oose becam e a daily fix tu re on n a tio n a l te le v is io n throughout the sniper investiga tion, giving new s conferences several tim es a day. Since the arrest o f suspects Lee Boyd M alvo and John Allen M uham m ad, M oose has been in dem and. He has appeared on talk show s and been featured in new s p a p e r s , p u rs u e d by lite r a r y agents and honored by a host o f organizations. TriMet has outlined a new security initiative that includes additional per sonnel, increased penalties for fare eva sion and new signs on MAX and buses to maintain and reinforce the safety o f the transit system. TriMet General Manager Fred Hansen said the initiative addresses disruptive behavior that, while not illegal, can make riders feel less than secure. “By going after disruptive behavior, we maintain the safety and integrity o f the system and make it more inviting to ride, especially later in the evening," said Hansen. TriMet is adding six additional security personnel to allow greater presence on the transit system, address disruptive behav ior and fare evasion. The additional posi tions bring the total o f security personnel to 78. The TriMet Board o f Directors has ap proved the first reading o f an ordinance to increase the penalty for fare evasion, from $77 to $250, and the exclusion period from a maximum of90days to six months. Currently, riders without a valid fare can be excluded from al 1 Tri Met service up to 90 days. SUNLAN LIGHTING, Inc Hard to Find lamps.
