After some time had passed, it became apparent that the individual was unable to leave under their own recognizance. Project Respond was requested to assist the individual, but they were unable to respond. Dispatch requested Portland police response, per the representative with Project Response. It was also conveyed to the 911 operator that this was not an emergency situation and that no sirens or lights would be warranted.

Fifteen minutes later a new report of the same individual was called in, and upon returning to find the individual still lying in the field, the CSO again stated to the individual that they needed to leave. The individual struggled to their feet before lying down just off of campus. The CSO informed the individual that they would also need to retrieve the belongings they had left in the field or they would be removed by Reed property maintenance.

CS Survey Responses:

Every week Community Safety requests survey responses from those who've had interactions with a member of the Community Safety team. These responses are always collected anonymously with the option for the responder to leave contact information if they would like for a member of Community Safety management to contact them, and are used internally for departmental performance tracking. Community Safety has opted to publish these survey results for transparency and community accountability. *Names and pronouns mentioned in survey responses will be redacted to protect the privacy of individuals.

In addition to surveys sent directly to those who have interacted with Community Safety, the Reed community is always encouraged to independently complete the survey regarding Community Safety's performance.
