Provision of the law | Lane’s compliance status |

“Private security professionals and special campus security officers commissioned under ORS 352.118 who provide security services on the campus of an institution of higher education do not have stop and frisk authority as set forth in ORS 131.605 to 131.625.” | Lane Public Safety has never, and will not, engage in “Stop and Frisk.” |
“...shall ensure that a nationwide criminal records check is conducted for each private security professional or special campus security officer providing security services on campus.” “A law enforcement agency may share information about applicants for employment with the agency with an institution of higher education. An institution of higher education Enrolled Senate Bill 576 (SB 576-A) Page 1 may use information shared under this subsection for purposes of hiring private security professionals or special campus security officers.” |
It has long been the policy of Lane Public Safety to perform criminal background checks for all new officer candidates. The department will continue to do so. |
“...shall ensure that each officer undergoes psychological testing to determine the officer’s fitness to serve as a special campus security officer.” | It has long been the policy of Lane Public Safety to perform psychological testing for all new officer candidates. |
“Vehicles used by private security professionals or special campus security officers in the scope of their employment on campus are equipped with: (A) A global positioning system device, as defined in ORS 163.715, for which global positioning data is retained for at least 90 days; (B) A video camera that records the scene within the vehicle and for which video recordings are retained for at least 90 days; or (C) A dispatch system for which a record of calls is maintained for at least 90 days” | Vehicles currently have cameras, and Public Safety operates a dispatch system that operates 24/7. All videos and call records are retained for much longer than 90 days - up to seven years in some cases. |
“... ensure that vehicles used by private security professionals or special campus security officers in the scope of their employment on campus: (a) Are clearly identified as a campus vehicle on the front of the vehicle; (b) Do not use red and blue light bars; (c) Do not use bumpers intended to ram another vehicle in order to cause a stall; and (d) Do not use cages.” | Vehicle wraps have been completed. The vehicles clearly state “Campus Public Safety” and feature an LCC logo. Light bars used on Public Safety vehicles use red and white lights (not red and blue). Push bumpers and cages have been removed from vehicles. |
“Uniforms worn by private security professionals or special campus security officers in the scope of their employment on campus can be easily differentiated from the uniform of any law enforcement officer certified by the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training, with differentiations including, but not limited to, prominent designation of “campus security” or prominent use of a school logo or school colors.” | We have selected and purchased uniforms. The uniform color is not currently used by law enforcement in Oregon. The color is Titan Blue and clearly states “Campus Public Safety.” |
“When a private security professional or special campus security officer makes a probable cause arrest or an arrest under ORS 133.225 in the course of the individual’s duties on the campus of an institution of higher education, the institution of higher education or governing board of the public university listed in ORS 352.002 for whom the individual provides security services: (a) Shall promptly notify a law enforcement agency with jurisdiction over the area in which the arrest took place. (b) May not retain evidence related to the arrest except for the purpose of providing the evidence to a law enforcement agency with jurisdiction over the area in which the arrest took place.” | Public Safety already complies with this provision, and in fact notifies law enforcement before an arrest is made in most circumstances. Any evidence collected is turned over to the appropriate Law Enforcement Agency. All crime reports are sent to the Lane County Sheriff’s Office for review and follow-up. |
“The amendments to section 2 of this 2019 Act by section 3 of this 2019 Act and the amendments to ORS 238.082 by section 5 of this 2019 Act become operative on January 1, 2020.” | All provisions of Kaylee’s Law have been met. |
