Where are you from originally? 21 Officer James Dewey: I'm from Portland, grew up in the southwest. 22 Brian Davidson: And did you go to high school here? 23 Officer James Dewey: Wilson. 24 Brian Davidson: Wilson. 25 Officer James Dewey: Yeah. 26 Brian Davidson: And uh how old are you? 27 Officer James Dewey: 33. 3 Transcription provided by: SpeakWrite www.speakwrite.com 1 Brian Davidson: Great, and uh, you graduated from Wilson? 2 Officer James Dewey: I did. 3 Brian Davidson: Did you seek additional education after high school? 4 Officer James Dewey: Uh yeah, I went to, actually I went overseas. I lived in New Zealand 5 for uh 4 1/2 years, studied economics. Um, came back after that. 6 Brian Davidson: Mm hmm. Uh, did you obtain a degree from any place? 7 Officer James Dewey: Um, I, so I didn't finish in New Zealand, um 'cause it doesn't 8 transfer over to the United States so I'm currently taking classes at 9 Portland State, to get the equivalency – 10 Brian Davidson: Mm hmm. 11 Officer James Dewey: – of a Bachelor's. 12 Brian Davidson: In? 13 Officer James Dewey: Um, it'll probably be in public administration, or economics. 14 Brian Davidson: And so, but your focus is primarily, was primarily economics? 15 Officer James Dewey: Yeah. 16 Brian Davidson: And um it's my understanding that you, you have a military 17 background as well? 18 Officer James Dewey: Yeah, uh 7, 7 years, um army national guard, one deployment to 19 Afghanistan. 20 Brian Davidson: And uh, did you see combat while you were there? 21 Officer James Dewey: Um, it was a combat deployment um so there, our, our compound 22 was attacked once. Um, there was a couple of uh roadside bombings 23 but I wasn't directly involved with anything. 24 Brian Davidson: Mm hmm. All right. Uh, and are you still a reservist? 25 Officer James Dewey: No, I'm out. 26 Brian Davidson: And so when did your service end? 27 Officer James Dewey: May of, uh, this year actually, so recently. 4 Transcription provided by: SpeakWrite www.speakwrite.com 1 Brian Davidson: Mm hmm. And did you attain a particular rank? 2 Officer James Dewey: Uh, specialist E4. 3 Brian Davidson: All right. And so um, have you held other employment other than 4 with Portland State Police Department? 5 Officer James Dewey: Yes. So prior to Portland State, I was a reserve police officer which 6 is a fancy way of stating um volunteer police officer for Beaverton 7 Police and I worked with them for uh 2 or 3 years but I was deployed 8 for one of those years so. 9 Brian Davidson: Mm hmm. 10 Officer James Dewey: Felt shorter. 11 Brian Davidson: And, and prior to that employment were you required to go to what 12 the academy? 13 Officer James Dewey: Um, so for the Beaverton Police, we did an in, an in-house, I think it 14 was 200 and some hours um reserve academy and for my current 15 position, I went to the f- ah, regular police academy which is in 16 Salem. 17 Brian Davidson: Mm hmm. So you were a reservist with Beaverton PD for 2 years – 18 Officer James Dewey: Yes. 19 Brian Davidson: – one of which you were deployed? 20 Officer James Dewey: Yeah. 21 Brian Davidson: Uh, and then uh, what about after that? 22 Officer James Dewey: Um, so I, um, you can't be a police officer for two places at once so I 23 resigned from Beaverton to take the job here at Portland State, um 24 yeah ****. 25 Brian Davidson: And when you came to Portland State um, my understanding is that 26 uh Portland State's police force has only recently been an armed 27 police force. 5 Transcription provided by: SpeakWrite www.speakwrite.com 1 Officer James Dewey: Yeah. 2 Brian Davidson: And prior to that um, it was unarmed campus security? 3 Officer James Dewey: Correct. 4 Brian Davidson: So when you came to work for Portland State, was it as an unarmed 5 campus security officer? 6 Officer James Dewey: Yeah. So that was, so I was, uh, campus public safety officer 7 concurrently with, uh, the Beaverton job and then when we went to 8 the police side, I left Beaverton and came on as a police officer for 9 Portland State. 10 Brian Davidson: And so how long have you worked in any capacity at Portland State? 11 Officer James Dewey: I'm coming up on 5 years I think in January. 12 Brian Davidson: And how many years of that was as an unarmed uh security officer? 13 Officer James Dewey: uh, um, 2 1/2 or 3. 14 Brian Davidson: Mm hmm. 15 Officer James Dewey: 'Bout half. 16 Brian Davidson: And so how long have you been a, ah, sworn armed police officer for 17 Portland State since when? 18 Officer James Dewey: Ah, since last January before last, so coming up on two years for 19 that. 20 Brian Davidson: Now did you have to go to any additional um trainings or academies 21 to be a unarmed campus security officer for Portland State? 22 Officer James Dewey: Uh, that was in-house as well. Um, so you kind of run through the, 23 sort of the, street training program there where you learn the law and 24 um procedural stuff, uh, but nothing uh state sponsored. 25 Brian Davidson: Okay. So when you switched, when PSU switched from unarmed 26 campus security to an armed sworn police force – 27 Officer James Dewey: Yeah. 6 Transcription provided by: SpeakWrite www.speakwrite.com 1 Brian Davidson: –Uh, did you have to attend more academy at that point?
