(Photo: Washington County Sheriffs Office via Tigard Police Department) PORTLAND, Ore. —Police arrested a 55-year-old man Monday, accusing him of burglarizing eight homes. Police said someone broke into the homes between May 9 and June 25 in the area of Hall Boulevard. All were in Tigard, except for one. They said the suspect, Ronald Lee Dickinson, got into the unoccupied homes during the day, most of the time by breaking a window. He then stole money, jewelry and electronics. One homeowner reported to police that a gun was stolen. Police said they haven't recovered the property. Dickinson was taken to the Washington County Jail, where he faces charges of burglary, attempted burglary, felon in possession of a firearm, disorderly conduct and parole violation. Tigard police said they had arrested Dickinson in October 2014 for burglary. They said he has no known permanent address. Council passes budget with $11 million in cuts Tigard Times staff Monday, July 02, 2018 Those cuts include not filling four police positions, going down to two SROs, reducing library programs by 75 percent. The Tigard City Council voted unanimously on June 26 to adopt the city's 2018-19 fiscal budget of$126 million, a reduction of 9.4 percent over the current fiscal year. The budget contains more than $11 million worth of reductions, including $2.5 million in general fund cuts. While the city will continue to provide essential services, complete capital improvement projects,represent Tigard's interest in regional issues, as well as efficiently manage its financial resources, those general fund reductions will affect Tigard Police, the Tigard Public Library, the city's recreation program, economic development program and social service grants, according to city officials. Among the changes, which began July 1, are: Tigard Police will not fill four vacant police officer positions. Tigard Police School Resource Officers will be reduced from four to two. Tigard Police will not fill a vacant community service officer position, a 50-percent reduction that will impact the department's ability to address parking violations, graffiti and reports to police that contain no suspect information. In addition, it will reduce the number of community sen-ices officers available to assist patrol and traffic units handling traffic accidents. Funding for programs at the Tigard Public Library will be reduced by 75 percent, which means fewer story times for children and computer classes for adults. All book groups will be eliminated, and the number of cultural and educational programs for all age groups will decrease. Funds for new library materials—books, DVDs, CDs, etc. -will be cut by 25 percent and library patrons may wait longer for assistance because of a reduction in staffing levels. There will be fewer city-sponsored community events due to reductions in the Parks and Recreation program. Social Service Funding grants, which help provide support to the Good Neighbor Center, Luke Dorf, Tualatin Riverkeepers and the St. Anthony Severe Weather Shelter,will be cut in half. Wi-Fi at the city's parks will be eliminated. The city will not have a robust Economic Development program, which may impact the city's ability to attract new businesses to the area. More than 98 percent of the budget cuts in the original budget submitted to the Budget Committee by City Manager Marty Wine were approved, according to a city spokesman. However,proposed cuts to Tigard's Peer Court and Community Emergency Response Team, more commonly known as CERT, were reinstated ager a strong showing of public support for them at the Budget Committees meetings held in April and May. However, because of the failure of Tigard's May levy,these programs and others—including code enforcement, the Safe Routes to School program,parks maintenance and the recreation program—are at risk for the next fiscal year, where another$2.5 million in general fund cuts are expected as well. Local law enforcement agencies say $13 million reporting system 'hard to use' Posted:Jun 28,2018 8:38 PM PDT By Haley Rush PORTLAND, OR (KPTV) - Local law enforcement officers are calling the region's nearly$13 million electronic police reporting system hard to use. Many agencies have already dropped it all together. The latest agency to stop using it is the Vancouver Police Department. "We were very hopeful that it was going to be successful for us, but we immediately found that it wasn't really user- friendly for officers," James McElvain, the Vancouver Police Department's chief of police, said. McElvain is talking about the Regional Justice Information Network, known as RegJIN. In 2015, the Portland Police Bureau started hosting the nearly$13 million electronic police reporting system. The system allows more than 40 law enforcement agencies across the region, including Vancouver, to quickly share crime data. "We put a lot of money into it," McElvain said. "Hundreds of thousands of dollars. For the setup, for the training.We weren't just going to walk away from that level of investment." But last week, Vancouver police told the city council they planned to notify the City of Portland that they would be walking away. The chief says one of the biggest issues with the system is that requires too many steps when filling out simple police reports. "I think some of the bigger shortfalls had to do with how they transitioned from one box to the next box, or even looking at symbol information, like if you want to do a search for information, it becomes very cumbersome,"said McElvain. "For police officers, time is of the essence." The Vancouver Police Department isn't the first agency to abandon RegJIN. The Clark County Sheriffs Office and the West Linn Police Department dropped the system a couple years ago. The Sherwood Police Department and the Tigard Police Department said they also plan to stop using it. Portland Police Association President Daryl Turner said the Portland Police Bureau can't stop using the system. "Portland is the only one on the hook for the money for the contract,"Turner said. "The contract with the company is with the City of Portland, not with the other agencies. The other agencies came on. They agreed to pay certain fees that come along with Portland, but they're not linked to it by contract." Turner agrees it takes too long to write a police report. He said reports that used to take 10 minutes can now take up to 30. "It's definitely more time-consuming, which takes away from time not only off the streets but[also]from community policing," he said. "It takes away from engaging with the community, and that's really our concern." Turner said the system has also come with unexpected costs. "It's built up to be something that is the best thing since whatever the last one was ... and then you find out that you bought it off the shelf for a price, but then to enhance it, to do the fixes cost a lot more money,"Turner said. FOX 12 sat down with PPB Assistant Chief Chris Davis to talk about the system. "Some agencies have done really well with it and really like it," Davis said. "Some agencies haven't liked it, and here in Portland, we've been kind of in-between." Davis said there are things to like about the system. "One of the big strengths of the system that we developed is the back end, the data that we've been able to get out of it," he said. "If it's entered properly on the front end, we're able to get data in a higher resolution of data about crime than we've ever been able to get before." He also said there has been more data and information sharing between agencies than ever before. "There have been some really great success stories about crimes that have been solved because we're able to link them to things that we would've never necessarily known about in other jurisdictions," Davis said. Davis agrees it can be a burden for officers to enter data, but he also said that at the same time they rolled out the new system in 2015, the Federal Government changed its requirements for reporting crime data. "We ask officers to put a lot more data into the system than they used to," he said. When FOX 12 asked Davis if the system came with unexpected costs, he said, "What happened was it ended up costing the City of Portland more than we thought it would. Because of the way this business model worked, we collect user fees from all these different agencies, but it's the City of Portland alone that has the relationship with the vendor and we maintain the sustainment team, so we're on the hook for keeping the system running. So, if you start to lose partners and you start to lose those payments, then the share of the overall cost of the system that the city has to bear goes up." In the end, Davis said the system hasn't been a total failure. He notes there is"room for improvement". Currently, Davis said the bureau is in the process of choosing a consultant to help them pick out a possible new system for when their contract is up with RegJIN in about three years.
