OREGON OBSERVATIONS 8 JULY 2022 Leave a Comment / Uncategorized / By admin Re: Salem police will no longer respond to ‘complaints over barking dogs, loud parties, delayed crash reports and complaints of homeless encampments on public property.’ Do you know why? Because the city councilors are taking a dim view of giving the department more money to hire additional uniformed officers to fill their shortages. Instead, they’re in favor of sending out a social worker when the college kids renting the house next door are having a blowout, and making so much noise you can’t sleep at 0300 on a worknight. 4
