Save OSP

A little plug here. I created a website www.saveosp.org and it is designed to try to get us dedicated funding. I won't go into hairy details here, but suffice it to say some bonehead legislators decided to fund a study to see if it wouldn't be best to eliminate the state police. I'm fed up and am determined to do something about it. If you could forward it on to all your LE and emergency service friends I'd appreciate it. Even though you all aren't in Oregon, the more attention this gets, the better! Dina

Dina, that is awful... I can't see why they would want to do away with state police.. I know we have problems with coverage with our state police.. on overnights there is usually only one car on duty to cover alot of area, plus they cover our part time depts (which at this time is an additional 8 municiplaities) I will pass the link along and hopefully the study sees how necessary state police are!!!

Dina, Best of luck! I'll go on the site and put my two cents in. I know when I worked at Beaverton PD we worked with the state police a lot of the time (I was there from 10/1993 to 7/2000) I still keep in touch with my PD friends there, they're the best! Anyway, keep us posted please! Sheryl
