Is the stigma all that stands in the way of officers accessing professional services to help them develop ways to cope with the stress accumulated in their official capacities? What, exactly, is at the root of the perceived stigma regarding professional counseling or the need to seek assistance? Drawing on personal observation and interviews with officers at the Oregon Department of Public Safety and Training, this study will explore the stigma related to seeking help, for the purpose of understanding the perceptions of Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs) regarding emotional stress from the standpoints of new officers as they begin their training and continue in their careers.

Users may use the item in accordance with copyright limitations and exceptions, including fair use. For other uses, please ask permission from the author. | http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/ The Proud Boys are a right-wing political organization set in opposition to immigration, political correctness, multiculturalism, and feminism. The group has been active in public right-wing demonstrations and counter-protests, and were present at both the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville as well as the January 6th Insurrection. After public acknowledgement from their symbolic figurehead, former president Donald Trump, the group saw an increase in both membership and media attention. This research paper seeks to compile various pieces of data concerning the Proud Boys to create an accurate and well-rounded picture of the organization. This data consists of political science research, news articles, and material created by members of the Proud Boys in order to investigate the claim that the group is a danger to both public safety and discourse. The group’s reputation for violence is earned. Their members have been brought up on assault charges in numerous cases, thanks in part to the aggressive rhetoric and goals of prominent Proud Boys. Additionally, two conditions for full group membership involve acts of violence– both enduring and perpetrating it. The Proud Boys are also a political danger. Their tenets are largely crypto-facistic in nature. While they allow non-whites into the group, the Proud Boys provide an effective starting point for their members to branch out into more overtly-racist vi organizations and hate groups. As such, this paper argues that the Proud Boys are an insidious threat that, despite their public image, supports political violence and fascist ideologies. Honors Program Henry Hughes | Gavin Keulks

https://wou.omeka.net/s/repository/item/1945 Oregon Law Enforcement Memorial Wall Undetermined Department of Public Safety Standards and Training | DPSST | Memorials | Oregon Law Enforcement | Oregon Police Academy Dedicated to law enforcement officers in Oregon, the granite wall stood outside the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) Building on Western Oregon University's campus. Each May, in recognition of National Police Month, the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training hosts the ceremony to honor officers who have given their lives while serving the citizens and visitors of Oregon. The text on the wall reads "With the rededication of the living to the principles which guided these dead we give meaning to their sacrifice." Originally in front of the former Oregon Police Academy building (now the Mark "Ted" Winters Math and Nursing Building), the wall was moved to the new DPSST facility in Salem in 2006.
The image has three trees with yellow leaves in front of the black granite wall. On the wall is lists of names and the text "In the Service of Mankind." Behind the wall is the Mark "Ted" Winters Math and Nursing Building. 2018 Image; StillImage Digital photograph as a jpg image (96 dpi, pixel dimensions- width: 305, height: 375) omeka/1767 Copyright Not Evaluated: As of 05/18/2020, the copyright for this item has not been investigated by Hamersly Library. | http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/CNE/1.0/ United States--Oregon--Polk County--Monmouth
https://wou.omeka.net/s/repository/item/1943 Raywood Ash Tree Undetermined Heritage Hall | Oregon Police Academy | Trees on Campus This tree is located on the southeast corner of Heritage Hall. The date of planting is unknown. It was thought to have been planted by the Oregon Public Safety Academy Class 209, but it was purchased with collaboration of the Student Body President. The tree was planted as a replacement tree for one of the original Raywood Ash Trees planted when Heritage Hall was landscaped.
Ron Cooper, former landscape supervisor, contributed the following information: "The memorial 'Raywood Ash' is the second tree from the right; just next to the Incense Cedar on the far right. It is the smaller tree because it was a replacement tree for one of the original 'Raywood Ash' trees planted when Heritage Hall was landscaped. It replaced a tree that went down in a previous storm." 2018 Image; StillImage Photograph as a jpg image (96 dpi, pixel dimensions- width: 400, height: 286) omeka/1777 Copyright Not Evaluated | http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/CNE/1.0/ United States--Oregon--Polk County--Monmouth
https://wou.omeka.net/s/repository/item/1117 Contemporary Viewpoints: a Survey of Law Enforcement Officers in Oregon Terry Gingerich | Greg Willeford | Steve Gibbons | Dave Murphy Law enforcement | Oregon | Officer perceptions 1/1/2012 Text fac_pubs/1 eng Contemporary Viewpoints: A 2012 Survey of Law Enforcement Officers in Oregon is the culmination of a research initiative conducted in partnership with Oregon’s major law enforcement organizations: the Oregon Association Chiefs of Police (OACP), Oregon State Sheriffs’ Association (OSSA), Oregon State Police (OSP), and the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST). The project had two objectives. First, collect a statewide sampling of viewpoints from Oregon law enforcement officers employed in municipal police agencies, sheriff’s offices, and the State Police to establish a baseline dataset, which could then be used to measure selected aspects of law enforcement’s professional development. The second objective is to use the findings as a means to facilitate critiques of the data in partnership with Oregon’s law enforcement practitioners. Consequently, it is both a report and an open invitation.
The report examines aspects of an officer’s work-environment presented from two viewpoints. The first viewpoint is from an “agency perspective” (i.e. state police, municipal police, and sheriff’s offices) and is intended to highlight any differences or similarities of opinion that occur between agencies. The second viewpoint is from a “rank perspective” looking across all ranks in these agencies (i.e. line officers, sergeants, lieutenants, captains and above, and chiefs and sheriffs) and is intended to highlight any differences or similarities of opinion that occur between ranks.
