Campus Police Power Targeted PDX Jazz Presents
(AP) -- The Oregon Senate last
week unanimously voted to cur-
tail some of the policing authority
from security officers hired to pa-
trol college campuses.
The proposal, which now
goes to the House, is known as
“Kaylee’s Law” after Kaylee
Sawyer, a 23-year-old who was
raped and murdered by a Central
Oregon Community College secu-
rity guard in 2016.
Security officers will no lon-
ger have stop and frisk authority
under the bill. Schools must also
conduct national background
checks on potential hires.
Uniforms and vehicles must
also look distinct from those of
traditional law enforcement of-
ficers. Sen. Floyd Prozanski, a
Democrat from Eugene, said that
is to make sure “people know
when they are dealing with an
actual law enforcement officer.”
Students from Portland State
University pushed a similar
bill that would prohibit campus
police from carrying a gun, re-
sponding a deadly shootout near
campus last year. That measure
isn’t expected to move forward
this session.
Kendrick Scott
PDX Jazz presents Kendrick
Scott and his Kendrick Scott Or-
acle band, considered one of the
premier ensembles in jazz right
now.
“He’s a brilliant mind bring-
ing innovation to the music and
at the same time he’s creating a
safe place for young talent to de-
velop and grow,” said renowned
trumpeter and bandleader Terence
Blanchard.
In the decade that Scott oc-
cupied the drum throne in
Blanchard’s band, he had the op-
portunity to learn first-hand from
an established master who gave
Scott the space to find his own
voice both on his instrument and
as a composer.
Kendrick Scott Oracle plays
Monday, May 5 at the Jack Lon-
don Revue, downtown. Tickets
are $25 in advance and $30 the
day of the show.
