DESCRIPTION OF COMMUNITY SERVICE AND CRIME PREVENTION PROGRAMS IN WOODBURN, OREGON.
Abstract
ALTHOUGH PRIMARILY A RURAL AREA, LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES IN MARION COUNTY, OREGON REALIZED THAT THE DISCONTENT EXISTING BETWEEN VARIOUS CULTURE GROUPS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES HAD THE POTENTIAL OF EXPLODING INTO WIDESCALE CIVIL STRIFE. SEVERAL PROGRAMS WERE ESTABLISHED TO COMBAT THE SITUATION. THE COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFICE, OPERATING WITHIN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, ACTS AS A LIAISON BETWEEN GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES, THE COURTS, AND THE VARIOUS ETHNIC GROUPS IN THE COMMUNITY. THE SCHOOL LIAISON PROGRAM HAS THE GOAL OF REDUCING JUVENILE DELINQUENCY BY TEACHING RESPECT FOR LAW, ORDER, AND OUR JUDICIAL PROCESS, AND THE JOB OPTIONAL PROGRAM FINDS JOBS FOR DISADVANTAGED PEOPLE AND PROVIDES ON-THE-JOB TRAINING.
