SALEM, Ore. — Oregon’s police training agency is one step closer to adding two more training classes to handle a hiring surge among law enforcement agencies statewide. The need to get new police officers trained is outpacing what the state can do.
A group of state lawmakers approved more money Wednesday to add two training classes at the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training with a final vote expected Friday. The agency anticipates getting approval.
Two extra classes would cover training for 80 new officers and deputies statewide. State law mandates that every new hire goes to Salem for this training.
“Statutorily, when a new police officer is hired into an agency, they're supposed to be scheduled to attend a class within 90 days to start their basic police training,” DPSST interim director Brian Henson said. “Due to the hiring bubble that's taken place right now across the state, the large influx of new hires has caused that 90-day window to bump out to 180 days.”
The law is waived in cases where the delay is due to capacity with the state’s training program.
These two extra classes are in addition to two others that lawmakers had already proved earlier this year. However, the bottleneck to get into training still exists.

A “hiring surge” in today’s anti-cop environments? In oregano no less?
Top cops after training will move to another state, if intelligent enough.
The leftists are not anti-cop. They simply want to replace the existing staff with others that are more to their liking and will follow orders with greater enthusiasm.
Of course, that will require changes to hiring standards. A number of things that were absolute disqualifiers must now be ignored, if they want to meet their recruitment targets.
It will be a great gig for former and current ANTIFA "activists".
Gearing up for a democommie ‘police state’?
“Gearing up for a democommie ‘police stae’?”
Acquaintance who grew up in communist Cuba and lived most of her life in Oregon, left. Oregon was becoming too much like where she grew up.

Well, it’s from ABC, so we KNOW we’re being lied to, to some extent.
That said, I’m on the side of them ginning up for the future Police State. The Capitol police in DC is running scared and making a lot of ‘security’ improvements as I type.
And don’t forget the ‘Killer Robots’ being put into place in major metro areas.
Escape to the Heartland while you can! ;)
Crime has out-paced police hiring for a long time in my town. And the homeless/drug problem is getting worse.
Which sadly is another “legacy” of liberal control
