Sessions are conducted by area attorneys who specialize in landlord-tenant law. The goal of the training is to afford residential rental property owners and managers an opportunity to learn how they may better recognize and address possible criminal activity on their property as well as obtain better understanding of police perspective when it comes to maintaining a safe property. Attendees are also able to network with other rental property owners and managers in the area who often share common concerns and questions. The Westside Crime Prevention Coalition is a joint team of law enforcement agencies including the Forest Grove Police, Beaverton Police, Hillsboro Police, Tigard Police and the Washington County Sheriff's Office.
