Robbery prevention training
Armed robbery is one of the most serious and potentially dangerous crimes facing a variety of businesses within our community. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office is offering a training workshop for retail businesses designed to reduce the chance of becoming a target for robbery, and increase the likelihood of apprehending these criminals if a robbery occurs.
The key to robbery prevention and avoiding injury during a robbery is to be fully prepared. Participants will learn about common characteristics and predictors of robbery. They will also learn what to do during and after a robbery, with an emphasis on maintaining their personal safety.
The training is scheduled for Tuesday, February 16, from 9-11 am at the Sheriff’s Office Training Center in Hillsboro. To register for this free training, contact the Crime Prevention Unit at 503-846-2579.

Lee entered eternity on January 22 after a six-year battle with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. He was born in Oakland, California. He attended Berkeley High School and graduated from Oregon State University with degrees in Forest Engineering and Business. After college, Lee went to work in Pendleton in Engineering and Surveying. By the age of 28, he became president of consulting firm Harris & Ascher. During this time he met and married Garnet, his wife of 43 years.
After moving to Portland, Lee worked for Carter Bringle and Associates, and began volunteering on the board of the Wolf Creek Water District. Later, he took an engineering position with Land Developer, Leavitt NuPacific where he became Vice President and later President. When the housing market collapsed, Lee became a stock broker with Dean Witter. He worked there until retiring at age 67.
Leland enjoyed being an advocate for taxpayers in the community by volunteering his time and skills on the Tualatin Valley Fire District Director’s Board and the Budget Committee until December 2009. The last five years he has served on the THPRD Trails Committee. It was his passion to connect walking trails throughout Washington County. He also spent time each week volunteering at Habitat for Humanity building homes for those less fortunate.
