Committee pursues de-escalation class; staff to confirm instructor availability
Summary
A committee member said she submitted a request for a de-escalation class (September or November), provided location details to Portland Police training staff, and will follow up by phone if she does not get a response by mid-week.
A committee member reported she has submitted a request for a de-escalation class through Portland Police (referenced as the police department's self-defense/de-escalation program) and is awaiting confirmation.
The member said she asked for either a September or November date and noted the preference to hold the class at the committee's usual meeting location, depending on instructor availability. "I have submitted a form, and I'm waiting for a response. I figure if I don't hear anything by Wednesday, I will call the phone number and say, 'hey, I submitted this. Did you get it? What else do we need to do?'" she said.
Committee members supported follow-up and asked the volunteer to call training staff if they did not receive confirmation. The committee discussed naming the training in outreach materials as a de-escalation class rather than a self-defense class.
Ending: The volunteer will call the training contact if she has not heard back by Wednesday and will report progress to the committee at the next meeting.
