[Grovenet] Policing in the Grove

[R Goerling]

Hello all- I¹ve been following discussion threads for the last few weeks
and thought I¹d  introduce myself and, hopefully, initiate a discussion to
gain some insight to what members of Grove-Net consider important issues for
their police agencies.

I have recently applied for consideration for the Chief of Police position
with the Forest Grove Police Department.  Please feel free to visit my
website at www.rgoerling.com for more information about me, my background,
the value I believe I bring to our community public safety efforts and my
policing philosophies.

As I further explore what our community stakeholders think about police
services, I would love to know what each of you think with regard to the
questions below. 

1. What are some critical issues facing public safety in Washington County,
specifically (or not) Forest Grove?
2. What is your police department doing well?
3. What can your police department do better?

Thank you for reading my post.  I appreciate your time and look forward to
learning from this group.

Best Regards, 

Richard Goerling
