Deschutes County seeks public safety panel members

Deschutes County residents are invited to apply to serve on the Deschutes County Local Public Safety Coordinating Council .

LPSCC is comprised of community representatives, criminal and juvenile justice officials, law enforcement officers, elected city and county officials and relevant public services professionals. The council helps facilitate planning for community corrections services.

Members are appointed to four-year terms and are not paid for their time. LPSCC usually meets at 3:30 p.m. on the first Tuesday of the month at the Deschutes Services Building, which is located at 1300 NW Wall Street in Bend.

Applicants should reside in Deschutes County and while having a background and knowledge of the criminal justice system and policy is helpful, it is not required. The County is most interested in hearing the perspective of citizens in the various justice system issues that come before LPSCC.

Applications for the two open community representative member positions will be accepted until Friday, March 8, at 5 p.m. To apply, visit bit.ly/DeschutesLPSCC.
