Case #: 230020

Time: 0728
Description: Suspicious Person/Activity/Circumstances
Location: Birchwood Apartments

Notes: A CSO on patrol of the Birchwood apartments encountered an individual pulling on the door knobs of the Birchwood apartments. When the CSO requested the individual stop their actions and speak with them, the individual began yelling at the CSO and pointed a metal pipe in a threatening manner toward the CSO. The CSO advised the individual to drop the pipe and leave the property. The individual dropped the pipe but replied that they would not be listening to the CSO because the CSO wasn’t a “cop.” The individual then walked across 28th Ave and began pulling on doors of the Medical Offices. When they failed to gain entry, the individual then walked to the nearby dumpsters, climbed into one, and began looking through it. When the CSO requested the individual stop their activity, the individual again replied that they weren’t going to listen to the CSO. The CSO then requested Dispatch contact Portland Police for assistance. The individual then climbed out of the dumpster and headed toward the 28 West building. They entered the building and began taking candy from the candy bowl at the Dispatch desk. The individual then left the building at the prompting from both the Dispatcher and the CSO. Another CSO arrived, and together, both CSOs followed the individual until they were off of Reed property.

Time: 1148

Location: East Lot

Notes: A CSO on patrol in the East Lot observed an individual running to, and quickly entering, a white compact vehicle which then left the parking lot at a high rate of speed. The CSO was unable to gather the license plate information from the vehicle, so they returned to the area where they had first seen the individual. There, they observed that a silver Honda Civic parked in the lot had its passenger side window shattered. Dispatch has been unable to contact the owner of that vehicle.

Case #: 230023
Date: 2023 01 21
Time: 2237
Description: Medical Amnesty/Medical Assist - Alcohol
Location: Amphitheater

Notes: CSOs responded to a request for medical assistance at the amphitheater. Upon arrival, they met with two Night Owls who reported that a student was sick after consuming alcohol. The CSOs evaluated the intoxicated student, and asked the student if they would like to request an evaluation form an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). The student declined. After a conversation with the student, it was determined that the student would recover without medical intervention. The CSOs escorted the student, and a few of the student's friends, to the student’s residence, where the student’s friends stated they would remain with the student until they were recovered.

Case #: 230024

The CSO relayed that they would file a report and also recommended that the student report the theft to the Portland Police Bureau.

Case #: 230026
Date: 2023 01 22

Case #: 230027
Date: 2023 01 22
Time: 2350
Description: Welfare Check
Location: Residence Hall

Notes: CSOs responded to a request for a welfare check on a student who had consumed an unknown amount of drugs and alcohol. The CSOs met with the concerned party who stated that they had been with the student, but after briefly leaving the student’s residence, returned to find the door had been locked. The reporting party became concerned for the student’s welfare due to them being unresponsive to the reporting party’s knocking to re-enter the residence. The CSOs contacted the appropriate parties to advise further action, and during this time, the reporting party left to go to their own residence. Eventually, without ever gaining access to the residence, the CSOs were able to confirm that the student in question was not in need of any medical intervention and cleared from the call. 

CS Survey Responses:

Every week Community Safety requests survey responses from those who've had interactions with a member of the Community Safety team. These responses are always collected anonymously with the option for the responder to leave contact information if they would like for a member of Community Safety management to contact them, and are used internally for departmental performance tracking. Community Safety has opted to publish these survey results for transparency and community accountability. *Names and pronouns mentioned in survey responses will be redacted to protect the privacy of individuals.

In addition to surveys sent directly to those who have interacted with Community Safety, the Reed community is always encouraged to independently complete the survey regarding Community Safety's performance.

Unlock		Met expectations
Unlock		Below expectations	I called Community Safety because Vollum was locked and I didn't have my card. I asked for a CSO to come and let me in. The operator agreed. I waited and a CSO happened by and asked if I was locked out. (Redacted) name was (Redacted). (Redacted) was great. But the door had been unlocked. Evidently, the operator had unlocked the door remotely, but hadn't told me. No CSO was ever coming. So I would have liked the operator to tell me that (Redacted) was just going to open the door for me (Redacted).
