Gresham officer to present senior scam prevention in Fairview; committee discusses AV, streaming and outreach
Summary
Gresham Police community safety specialist Zachary Jeffress will present a senior-focused scam-prevention talk for Fairview residents at a weeknight session; the committee settled on a 6 p.m. start, a 40‑minute presentation without questions, and discussed AV, handouts and whether to stream or post the talk online.
Zachary Jeffress, a community safety specialist with the Gresham Police Department, will deliver a presentation on senior scam prevention to Fairview residents at a weeknight community session the committee agreed to schedule to start at 6 p.m.
Committee members said the talk typically runs about 40 minutes without interruptions and covers identity theft, phishing and impersonation scams. Jeffress described the presentation as built from local case examples and outreach visits to senior-care facilities.
“we built this presentation just to, you know, inform the public about how best practices,” Jeffress said during the meeting.
The committee discussed logistical details including the room setup, AV and handout distribution. Members said the council chamber’s TV accepts a USB drive and can accept an HDMI connection from a laptop or MDT. Staff suggested setting up between 5 and 5:15 p.m. for a 6 p.m. start. The presenter agreed to check with his department about whether the presentation can be recorded or streamed and to provide an electronic copy of the PowerPoint if permitted.
Fairview staff and committee members volunteered to help with publicity and handouts. The group discussed printing about 200 copies of a short checklist for attendees and promoting the event through the city’s social media accounts, the quarterly newsletter and neighborhood distribution. Chief Ryan Hakala offered to route materials to the city communications staff.
The committee also discussed housekeeping items for the presentation, including asking attendees to silence phones and offering a brief introduction about local public-safety resources before the presentation.
No formal motion or binding decision was recorded about recording or posting the presentation; Jeffress said he would follow up with his department on policy and return an answer to the committee.
