A Message from the Mayor
School’s out and kids should be, too! That’s why I’m proud of the Portland Police Bureau and
Portland Parks and Recreation work in sponsoring Operation Safe Summer, a program designed to
ensure there are plenty of safe and healthy activities for all Portland youth. Summer is a time when
kids learn more about themselves, build self-esteem and create lasting bonds. Operation Safe
Summer offers activities in which children can continue to play, grow and discover new hobbies
and sports. Take a look to see what activities await your family in this terrific program.
Be safe, have fun and make memories to last a lifetime!
Sam Adams, Mayor
A MESSAGE FROM
THE POLICE COMMISSIONER
The Portland Police Bureau, Portland Parks and Recreation, and community organizations have partnered
to create this guide and programming to ensure a safe and fun summer for the city’s youth. I hope
you’ll use and enjoy this Operation Safe Summer guide.
Dan Saltzman, Commissioner
A Message from the Chief of Police

Welcome to Operation Safe Summer 2009! On behalf of the Portland Police Bureau, I want to
encourage you or your family members to take part in this worthwhile summer program.
This program, which began in 1996 under the name of Operation Refocus, was created in response to escalating
violence in our community. Its goal is simple, but effective: to reduce the number of youth involved in criminal
activity or behavior during the summer months by providing safe, supervised and structured activities. Law
enforcement, parks and recreation staff, and many other organizations throughout the Portland Metropolitan Area
have partnered together to provide youth with a wide choice of activities.
Thanks for taking the time to look over this brochure, and please share it with anyone who might
be interested. In the meantime, please join us in helping Portland’s youth have a safe and
fun-filled summer.
Rosanne M. Sizer, Chief of Police
A Message from the

School Resource Office Sergeant
To our youth... As the weather warms, we are watchful of summer’s approach. Schools
close, the days seem to last forever, and we look forward to enjoying the company of good friends
and family. This 2009 Operation Safe Summer guide is a great place to start your plans for the summer
season. As you browse through this brochure, you will find a wide assortment of recreational and educational
programs that offer you the opportunity to learn teamwork, sportsmanship, leadership, and to just have some
old-fashioned fun! Take advantage of as many activities as you can and don’t be afraid to try something new.
To their parents... The programs and activities highlighted in this brochure are designed with the safety of our
youth in mind. Experience tells us that summer activities make a huge difference in the lives young people. The stories
of hundreds of children indicate how essential it is for them to be involved in quality programs during the summer. Self
esteem, confidence and competence soar as young people get involved in safe summer activities.
As you help your child map out their summer activities, I urge all parents to join us in making sure safety remains a top
priority to ensure that no one gets hurt this summer. The beginning of summer is also a good time to talk with your
children about some of the other challenges they may face during the upcoming months like alcohol, drugs, sex,
and violence. We don’t immediately associate these dangers with summer. But they are risks that our youth
encounter more frequently when they have free and unsupervised time. So, as you make sure that your
children are ready for the pool and park, take the opportunity to talk with them about other risks too.
Let’s all work together to make the summer of 2009 safe, fun, and exciting for all.
Sgt. Tom Perkins, School Police Liaison
a message
from the Parks director
On behalf of Portland Parks & Recreation, I want to welcome you to Operation Safe
Summer 2009. PP&R offers even more activities for the summer months to keep you
physically active, and have fun at the same time. I invite you to come check us out and
participate in one of our summer playground activities, sign up for a sports or day camp,
swim in one of our indoor or outdoor pools, or just enjoy a pickup game of basketball at
one of our many outdoor courts.
We have something for everyone, so come visit your local park or

community center!

Laying
Parents, you are the first line of defense when it comes to your child’s drug use or drinking. And you do make
a difference! Nearly two-thirds of teenagers see great risk of upsetting their parents or losing the respect
of family and friends if they smoke marijuana or use other drugs. There are some simple steps you can
take to keep track of your child’s activities. Of course, your kids might not like you keeping tabs on

where they are and what they’re doing. It won’t be a democracy, and it shouldn’t be, according to many
parenting experts. In the end, it’s not pestering, it’s parenting.

are set to keep him or her safe. Set limits with clear consequences for breaking them.

Praise and reward good behavior for compliance and enforce consequences for
non-compliance.
Tips for

Know where your teen is and what he or she will be doing during unsupervised time.
Research shows that teens with unsupervised time are three times more likely to use marijuana or
other drugs. Unsupervised teens are also more likely to engage in risky behaviors such as underage
drinking, sexual activity, and cigarette smoking than other teens. This is particularly important after
school, in the evening hours, and also when school is out during the summer or holidays.
parents

Talk to your teen. While shopping or riding in the car, casually ask him/her how things are
going at school, about his/her friends, what his/her plans are for the weekend, etc...

Keep them busy. especially between 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and into the evening hours. Engage your
teen in after-school activities. Enroll your child in a supervised educational program
or a sports league. Research shows that teens who are involved in construc-
tive, adult-supervised activities are less likely to use drugs than other teens.
Check on your teenager. Occasionally check in to see that your kids are
where they say they’re going to be and that they are spending time with
whom they say they are with.

Establish a “core values statement” for
your family. Consider developing a family mission statement that
reflects your family’s core values. This might be discussed and
created during a family meeting or over a weekend meal together.
Talking about what they stand for is particularly important at a
time when teens are pressured daily by external influencers on
issues like drugs, sex, violence, or vandalism. If there is no compass
to guide your kids, the void will be filled by the strongest force.

Spend time together as a family regularly and be
involved in your kid’s lives. Create a bond with your child. This builds
up credit with your child so that when you have to set limits or enforce
consequences, it’s less stressful.

Take time to learn the facts about marijuana and underage
drinking. Talk to your teen about its harmful health, social, learning, and mental effects
on young users.

Get to know your teen’s friends (and their parents) by inviting them
over for dinner or talking with them at your teen’s soccer practice, dance rehearsal, or
other activities.

Stay in touch with the adult supervisors of your child (camp counselors, coaches,
employers, teachers) and have them inform you of any changes in your teen. Warning signs of
drug use include distance from family and existing friends, hanging out with a new circle of friends,
lack of interest in personal appearance, or changes in eating or sleeping habits.

that are in the interest of the youth, community and School
alike. Using audio, visual and interactive presentations, the Fo-
rum stays alive and motivating for all.
