Youth Demand Central Communication Hub: Community Responds
Northeast Coalition evolves existing Hotline
Every day, at least 8 million children are left alone and unsupervised once the school bell rings. While 9 out of 10 Americans think that all youth should have access to after-school programs, two-thirds say it is difficult to find programs…even locally (according to the National Youth Violence Office).
This is true for Northeast Portland youth, who voiced a need and a concern at a recent Youth Engagement Workshop sponsored by the Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods and League of Women Voters of Portland. During the discussion following a panel of community leaders, youth asked how to find out about all of the issues and opportunities to get involved. It was clear that youth want to be engaged and need the channels to do so. Youth participant, Deyalo Bennette, shares that “This is another step for our community to take the lead in responding to our own needs. It is a symbol of positive change. I am inspired to be the lead youth organizer for the Hotline.”
“I didn’t have this growing up and didn’t know there could be more to my life than basketball until I graduated college. The Hotline is helpful for youth to know resources to develop personal skills and interests. Today’s youth are primed to learn and explore. If they don’t have an outlet for this creativity or interest, then they turn to the streets,” explains Imani Muhammad, Hotline Project Coordinator, “For the average youth who are not enrolled in programs that provide afterschool programming, the number one question is where do I go and how do I find out about opportunities for youth. Youth today are ready to lead and want to be prepared,” she continues.
Police Bureau Introduces New Citizen Online Reporting System
The Portland Police Bureau has launched a new Citizen Online Reporting System. This internet-based system, gives citizens the ability to report property crimes within Portland that have no suspect information, saving them time and money and freeing up valuable police resources for response to more critical incidents.
Once submitted, Portland police officers will review and approve every report. Reports that require additional response or are inappropriate will be modified and responded to as needed. The reporting citizen will then receive a PDF copy of the approved and case numbered report via email within 72 hours. This online service is without any cost to the citizen and avoids the current minimum $10 expense and delay in receiving copies of reports not submitted online.
Citizens can report the following types of incidents:
o Theft from vehicle
o Vandalism to vehicle
o Theft (excluding firearms and prescription medications)
o Vandalism (excluding graffiti)
o Lost property (excluding firearms and prescription medications)
o Additional property information (property information from a previously filed report)
Access the Police Online Reporting System at www.portlandpolice.com

Liquor License Renewal – North of Burnside
Notice of renewal
All liquor licenses North of Burnside within the Portland City Limits (East &West) will expire on December 31st, 2009, unless renewed by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC). The City of Portland has approximately 2,400 establishments with a liquor license; about half of which are coming up for renewal at the end of the year. As part of the renewal process, the City of Portland makes recommendations to the OLCC on renewal applications using information gathered from neighbors, community organizations, and public safety officials. Neighbors, Neighborhood and Business Associations, and Community Organizations have a very important role in this process.
The annual renewal is an opportunity for communities to address problems or concerns with licensed establishments in their neighborhoods. Concerned neighbors and community organizations wishing to oppose a license renewal North of Burnside should advise the Office of Neighborhood Involvement as soon as possible. Licensed establishments not identified by the City of Portland as problems are processed as though they received a “favorable” recommendation. Opposition received by individuals and organizations is considered by the City before a recommendation is made to the OLCC. If neighbors have concerns but do not wish to formally oppose the license renewal, this is an excellent opportunity to engage in problem solving to address concerns informally.
Information about liquor establishments with ongoing problems must be received by November 1st, 2009.
