June 1, 2022 - The Corvallis Police Department was selected as one of three law enforcement agencies nationwide to pilot a new crisis training program being developed by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Assistance. The intensive, 40-hour training program is designed to prepare police officers in their response to people experiencing crises related to behavioral health conditions, as well as intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Ward 6 Councilor Laurie Chaplen and Ward 9 Councilor Andrew Struthers will host a hybrid joint ward meeting at 6:30 p.m. on June 14. The meeting will be held in person at Osborn Aquatic Center, 1940 NW Highland Dr., as well as online via Zoom.
The program will include a brief presentation by Corvallis Police Department Captain Jason Harvey.
The organizers will leave plenty of time for your questions at the end of the meeting. A recording of the ward meeting will be available online after the meeting for anyone who couldn't attend.
On June 14, the community is invited to an opportunity that only comes once a year: a guided tour of the Corvallis Forest on the lower slopes of Marys Peak.
