The summer heat wave has just begun to make its way across the States signaling the end of school and the beginning of summer vacation. While the sun is perfect for a day at the beach, hot days can also have a sinister side - especially when it involves a child who has been left unattended or gotten trapped inside a vehicle. .
Tragically in the United States, every 10 days a child dies as a result of vehicular heatstroke. Since 1998, there have been 806 deaths, with 11 already this year.
The terrible truth? These deaths were 100% preventable.
Education is the first step in prevention, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is leading the charge.
On June 20, NHTSA will be tweeting from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET about the dangers of heatstroke, and offering prevention tips. We invite you to share this information with you readers, viewers, and listeners.
Please join NHTSA in spreading the message. Let’s stop this troubling trend, stop the heartbreak, and stop children from dying in hot cars.

The Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) is once again pleased to work with our national and international fire service partners to help support this week-long event through which fire agencies around the nation focus on a specific fire service safety issue.
The Safety Stand Down takes place June 16-22, 2019. This event highlights critical safety, health, and survival issues for the fire and emergency services. All fire departments and personnel are asked to take the week of June 16-22 to focus their attention on safety and health education and training. A week is provided to ensure all duty shifts can participate.
This year’s theme is REDUCE YOUR EXPOSURE: IT’S EVERYONE’S RESPONSIBILITY.
Cancer is one of the most serious threats facing firefighters, but there are specific actions that can be taken take to lessen the risks to firefighters and their co-workers. DPSST hosted a two-day seminar for fire service leaders last month at the Oregon Public Safety Academy during which national fire service clinicians and researchers shared their work.
A national webpage has been created for local fire departments to implement Safety Stand Down in their organization.

## Background Information on the DPSST ##
The Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) operates the Oregon Public Safety Academy which spans more than 235 acres in Salem. The Academy is nationally recognized for its innovative training programs and active stakeholder involvement. Eriks Gabliks serves as the Director, and Sheriff Jason Myers of the Marion County Sheriff’s Office serves as the Chair of the Board. The department implements minimum standards established by the Board for the training and certification of more than 40,000 city, tribal, county and state law enforcement officers, corrections officers, parole and probation officers, fire service personnel, telecommunicators, emergency medical dispatchers and private security providers.
DPSST provides training to more than 25,000 students each year throughout Oregon and at the Oregon Public Safety Academy in Salem: certifies qualified officers at various levels from basic through executive; certifies qualified instructors; and reviews and accredits training programs throughout the state based on standards established by the Board.
Oregon's law enforcement, fire, EMS, and emergency management personnel manage a wide-variety of incidents on a daily basis. Some of these incidents (sports events, community gatherings, wildfires, floods, etc.) may require several public safety resources/agencies and may draw large audiences that require a dedicated incident management team.
To help develop personnel who may be called upon to manage large incidents, the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) hosted a dozen all hazards incident management training classes over the past four months at the Oregon Public Safety Academy in Salem. All of the classes used curriculum developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and instructors approved by the United States Department of Homeland Security and Oregon Emergency Management.
The classes ranged from three to five days in length. The classes includes the All Hazard Incident Management Team (AHIMT) training class to incident management team position specific classes such as Safety Officer, Public Information Officer, Logistics Section Chief, Planning Section Chief, Operation Section Chief, Incident Commander and others.
These courses provided local, state, tribal and federal-level emergency responders with a robust understanding of the duties, responsibilities, and capabilities of the various positions within an incident management team.
All courses used an instructor-led training format that supports learning through discussion, lecture, and active participation in multiple exercises that provides a realistic, scenario-driven approach to mastering the skills required of a designated position. Exercises, simulations, discussions, and a final exam enabled participants to process and apply their new knowledge.
More than one hundred public safety leaders from law enforcement, emergency management, fire and EMS agencies around the state, and neighboring states, completed the training. Responders from organizations such as the United States Coast Guard, forestry, public works, American Red Cross, and others also attended the training as they play an active role in managing and working with partner organizations on a variety of all-hazard/all-risk incidents.
DPSST Director Eriks Gabliks said "DPSST is pleased to offer these training classes to help prepare men and women from our public safety community that may be called upon to help manage a large incident created by either a natural or man-made event. Oregon experiences a number of large events each year ranging from wildfires and floods to national sporting events and other gatherings that attract thousands of spectators and participants. With hundreds of public safety personnel retiring over the next three years we need to ensure we are offering professional development opportunities to develop those who will be moving into various command roles on our local, tribal, regional and state incident management teams."

The Oregon Public Safety Academy in Salem was the perfect starting point for the Operation Enduring Warrior 12-mile Ruck Walk in Salem this afternoon. The Salem City Ruck Tour is one of over 50 City Ruck Tours happening across the country this year.
The group consisted of veterans, law enforcement personnel, and members of the community, marching 12 miles together in Salem, Oregon on June 8, 2019 to showcase the mission of Operation Enduring Warrior, which now extends support to wounded law enforcement members through Task Force Sentinel. Building on the success of last year's inaugural event, more than 40 individuals participated in today's event.
Many of the participants which were military veterans and law enforcement officers. Each participant wore a ruck sack on their back. A "Ruck" is military jargon for “labored walk,” often with a weighted backpacks. No weight requirements for backpacks were set for this event.
The goal of the ruck walk was to promote the Operation Enduring Warrior/Task Force Sentinel and honor our military veterans and law enforcement members.
The walk began after a brief ceremony at the State's Fallen Law Enforcement and Fallen Firefighters Memorials at the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training located on Aumsville Highway in SE Salem and finished at the State Capitol after passing various veteran's memorials in downtown Salem.
Operation Enduring Warrior (OEW) / Task Force Sentinel, is a veteran-founded non?profit 501(c)(3) whose mission is to honor, empower, and motivate our nation’s wounded veterans and law enforcement personnel through a physical, mental and emotional rehabilitation.
OEW is a completely volunteer run organization. Donations go directly towards operational support of the organization and its different programs.
DPSST's Director Eriks Gabliks said "the Oregon Public Safety Academy was honored to serve as the starting location for this important event that honors and supports those who have defended the freedoms we enjoy around the world and here at home."

The Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST), in partnership with the Oregon Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) and the Oregon State Sheriff’s Association (OSSA) are proud to host the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), Women’s Leadership Institute (WLI) in Salem. The class began on Sunday evening, May 19, 2019 and concludes on May 24, 2019
The IACP’s Women’s Leadership Institute (WLI) is a 40-hour course, focused on the unique challenges facing women leaders in law enforcement. The course develops current and future leaders and the curriculum focuses on enhancing the business, leadership, and personal effectiveness skills of female leaders. The class is open to both male and female law enforcement agency leaders.
This interactive program uses senior women instructors and mentors from United States and Canadian law enforcement agencies and operates in an intensive, experiential learning environment. It is open to female and male, sworn and non-sworn personnel serving in supervisory positions, and senior patrol officers aspiring to become supervisors. The week-long class hosted at DPSST’s Oregon Public Safety Academy had 49 participants from 10 law enforcement agencies in Oregon.
The IACP has offered the WLI around the nation and since the program’s inception in 2013 this class has been offered by IACP at more than three dozen locations around the nation and also in Kathmandu, Nepal and Cape Town, South Africa. This delivery of the WLI class is unique as it’s only the second-time a state has hosted the class with all participants from city, county, and state agencies from the hosting state. Oregon hosted this important training as a state both times, the first time in 2017.
The WLI curriculum includes the following topics: Individual Differences; Emotional Intelligence; Motivating Success; Leading Teams; Organizations and Change; Crucial Conversations and Counseling; Strategic Career Planning; Fair, Impartial & Ethical Policing; Understanding Human Bias; Leadership and Wellness; Financial Management; Networking and Mentorship; etc.
Two seasoned instructors delivered the class. Miami Beach PD Chief of Staff Wendy Rich-Goldschmidt (former police chief in Colorado as well) and Retired Austin, TX Commander Cathy Haggerty, both members of the International Association of Chiefs of Police Women’s Leadership Institute training cadre.
Local women in leadership roles in Oregon law enforcement agencies participated in the program in both panel discussions and as mentors. Captain Erica Hurley of the Portland Police Bureau, Lieutenant Caprice Massey of the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, Lieutenant Jennifer Bills of the Eugene Police Department, Chief Kathy McAlpine of the Tigard Police Department, Chief Kris Allison of the Central Point Police Department and President of the Oregon Association of Chiefs Police, Captain Stephanie Ingraham of the Oregon State Police and Captain Ronda Groshong of the Beaverton Police Department.
As city, county, tribal, state and university law enforcement agencies look to fill more than 1,000 vacancies statewide that are expected over the next two years as seasoned employees get ready for retirement we encourage interested applicants to look at www.OregonPoliceJobs.com.
