The International Visitor Program at WorldOregon (formerly World Affairs Council of Oregon) is hosting a group of officers from Indonesia looking at the topic of women in law enforcement through United States Department of State International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP).
While in the United States, this group is spending time in four states including Oregon. In Oregon they will be spending time with our partners at the Portland Police Bureau and the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.
Today the group visited the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training's (DPSST) Oregon Public Safety Academy in Salem. While at the Academy they learned about the state's professional certification standards and law enforcement training programs, observed various classes in session, toured the 235-acre campus, and attended the graduation of the 385th Basic Police Class. Afterwards enjoyed lunch at the Academy while meeting with some of Oregon's law enforcement leaders including Oregon State Police Deputy Superintendent Terri Davie, Tigard Police Chief Cathy McAlpine, and Central Point Police Chief Kris Allison. The lunch discussion included topics such as recruitment and retention, workforce diversity, training and education programs, and many others.
Out of the four-state visit, Oregon was the only state they visited where all city, county, state, tribal and university law enforcement officers train at the same academy with the same curriculum.
The guests included:
Ms. Resti ARINI - Head, Selection Sub-Section Human Resources Bureau - Indonesia National Police - West Papua Region
Ms. Yasintha MAU, S.H., M.Hum - Unit Chief, Sub Directorate of Women and Children - Directorate of Criminal Investigations - Indonesian National Police - East Java Region
