The Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) has joined the Pink Patch Project again this year.
The Pink Patch Project (#PinkPatchProject) is an innovative public awareness campaign, that involves hundres of public safety agencies around the country, designed to bring attention to the fight against breast cancer and to support breast cancer research organizations in combating this devastating disease.
The pink DPSST patches are intended to stimulate conversation with staff and the community and to encourage public awareness about the importance of early detection and the on-going fight against this disease.
DPSST's Director Eriks Gabliks said "DPSST staff know first-hand the impact of breast cancer, and other cancers, have in our organization, our families, and our community. Anything we can do to bring awareness to the issue, or support our staff who have, or are, fighting cancer is worth the time. While October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it is an opportunity to also bring awareness to the cancer issues faced by our career and volunteer firefighters around the state. Firefighters have a 9 percent higher risk of being diagnosed with cancer than the general U.S. population and a 14 percent higher risk of dying from cancer than the general U.S. population according to the Firefighter Cancer Support Network. Bring awareness to all cancers and sharing information about detection and prevention is paramount."
Why October? October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease. It is estimated that approximately 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime
The simple goal of the Pink Patch Project is to increase awareness about the life-saving benefits of early detection and intervention in the fight against breast cancer.

The Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) was honored to host more than 140 emergency vehicle operations (EVO) instructors from around the nation at the Oregon Public Safety Academy in Salem today. The group is in Oregon as part of the A.L.E.R.T. International Conference being held in Portland.
A.L.E.R.T. International is dedicated to the encouragement and correlation of research and development as well as the sharing of information, ideas and innovations in the area of emergency vehicle response operation. Additionally, A.L.E.R.T.’s mission is to provide assistance to states in establishing effective and defensible standards for employment and training of law enforcement officers in the field of emergency vehicle operations. Another aspect of the mission is the promotion of a positive, professional image of emergency response trainers.
DPSST Director Eriks Gabliks said "DPSST has been active in ALERT International for more than 25 years. We have gained lots of information from this organization that has been implemented within our training programs. Sadly we know each year a large percentage of law enforcement officers die in the line of duty responding to emergency incidents. Research done by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund found that traffic-related incidents were the leading cause of death for officers in 15 of the past 20 years. We are committed to reducing the number of line of duty deaths by providing up to date training programs."
Presentations offered as part of the 2018 ALERT Conference included: Vehicle Based Problem Solving (Oregon State Police), Building an Emergency Vehicle Operations Program from Scratch (Maryland Police Training Commission), Vehicle ambush (Lake Oswego Police Department), Vehicle Box-In Techniques (Portland Police Bureau), Changing the Way We Instruct Driver Training (Federal Law Enforcement Training Center), Cognitive Driver Training - Updated Research by Dr. Jonathan Page (Cognitive Neuroscientist and Author) and many others.

The Oregon Fire Service Honor Guard and the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) extend an invitation to attend the State's 13th annual Oregon Fallen Fire Fighters Memorial this Thursday, September 20, 2018 at 1 p.m. The ceremony will be held at the Oregon Public Safety Academy, 4190 Aumsville Highway SE, Salem. We are honored to have Doug Grafe, Chief of Fire Protection for the Oregon Department of Forestry, as this year’s guest speaker.
DPSST Director Eriks Gabliks said "The Oregon Fallen Fire Fighters Memorial stands as a daily reminder of the sacrifices made by 169 men and women who died in the line of duty protecting our communities, airports and natural resources around our great state. The memorial also allows us to honor a pledge made to the families of the fallen - we will never forget! We are thankful that no names are being added to the Oregon memorial during this year’s ceremony which signifies that Oregon did not suffer a firefighter line of duty death in 2017. Sadly we know that is not the case on a national level as the names of 103 career and volunteer firefighters who died in the line of duty in 2017 and previous years will be honored at the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial at the National Fire Academy on October 6 and 7, 2018 in Emmitsburg, Maryland."
Please note the event is held outside rain or shine.
If you have any questions regarding the Memorial, please contact Julie Olsen, Fire Program Manager, at 503-378-2297 or by email at julie.olsen-fink@state.or.us

At the annual Oregon Chapter of the Association of Public Safety Communications Officers (APCO) and National Emergency Number Association (NENA) conference last Wednesday night in Bend, DPSST’s Telecommunications Training Program Coordinator Tami Atkinson received the organization’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
The Lifetime Achievement Award is Oregon APCO-NENA’s highest award, created to recognize a distinguished member of the chapter who has demonstrated a commitment to the advancement of emergency communications in Oregon. Candidates are chapter members who have demonstrated outstanding leadership within the chapter and who have made significant contributions to emergency communications in Oregon and the Oregon APCO-NENA chapter over his/her lifetime.
Tami began her public safety communications career as a dispatcher with Lincoln County Communications (LinCom) in 1984. During the past 34 years Tami has accomplished a lot. While at LinCom, Tami was actively engaged as a trainer, coach, supervisor, and also served as acting director. She also worked on the consolidation of LinCom into Willamette Valley Communications Center in Salem. Tami has served as Oregon APCO/NENA President and she co-chaired the training committee for the organization’s recent Western Regional APCO conference. Tami’s career path would eventually lead her to DPSST where she serves as our Telecommunications Training Program Coordinator.
In her role at DPSST, Tami oversees the State's 9-1-1 Training Program that provides basic and advanced training to more than 900 men and women around Oregon who answer our calls for emergency assistance.
DPSST's Director Eriks Gabliks said "Oregon's 9-1-1 and emergency medical dispatch standards and training program is used as a national benchmark of excellence in large part due to Tami's hard work and dedication and the partnerships she has created and maintains with our public safety partners around the state. We are very proud to have Tami on our team and are excited that the Oregon Chapter of APCO and NENA has honored her with their Lifetime Achievement Award."
