Answer 126

A

The polygraph (i.e., lie detector) is a valuable investigative tool that may be used in conjunction with, but not as a substitute for, a thorough investigation. The polygraph may be employed to verify, corroborate or refute statements, and narrow or focus investigative leads. The polygraph can assist in verifying and/or eliminating possible suspects and, in some situations, enhances the credibility of victims, witnesses, and informants.
A successful polygraph examination is dependent on a thorough investigation being conducted prior to the exam. Failure to do so may invalidate the results.
The polygrapher conducting the examination must be licensed by the State of Oregon as provided in ORS or under similar regulations in other states or federal jurisdictions. The polygraph is the only instrument for detection of deception that is authorized for use in criminal investigations and, therefore, will be the only instrument used by the Portland Police Bureau for such a purpose. Use of any other instrument purporting to be a detection of deception device is forbidden.

Answer 190

A

An abused, neglected, or dependent juvenile who may be temporarily detained for his or her own safety or welfare. This includes a juvenile taken into protective custody when conditions or surroundings reasonably appear to jeopardize the juvenile’s welfare or when it reasonably appears the juvenile has run away from home in accordance with ORS § 419B.150.

Answer 191

A

A juvenile twelve (12) years of age and over who is alleged to have committed an offense that would subject an adult to arrest (a non-status offense). It also includes a juvenile who possesses a handgun in violation of ORS § 166.250. 28 CFR 31.303.

Answer 192

A

A juvenile under twelve (12) years of age who is alleged to have committed a serious violent offense requires consultation with the Juvenile Detention Hall (JDH) prior to taking the juvenile into custody.

Answer 193

A

A juvenile who is charged with or who has committed an offense that would not be criminal if committed by an adult (e.g. truancy, curfew, runaway, possession and/or consumption of tobacco products and/or alcohol), yet may be taken into protective custody for purpose of reuniting the juvenile with a parent, guardian, or other responsible person.

Answer 194

A

A substantial threat to safety means an articulable opportunity for directed aggression in order for temporary detention to be permissible. For example, a juvenile with flailing limbs or breaking property may not pose a substantial threat, while a juvenile with flailing limbs, access to weapons, and the intent to harm self, others, animals, or members may pose a substantial threat.

Answer 195

A

In this Directive, the Portland Police Bureau distinguishes between temporary detention and Juvenile Detention Hall (JDH) custody of juveniles under twelve (12) years of age and juveniles twelve (12) years of age and over.
The Portland Police Bureau recognizes the inherent dignity of every person, including the youth in our community, whose needs differ from those of adults. The Bureau understands that giving members the authority to temporarily detain juveniles or place juveniles into custody and take them to Juvenile Detention Hall (JDH) to protect the public welfare creates an obligation to guide members as they balance important social and individual interests.
The Portland Police Bureau recognizes that duty may require members to temporarily detain or place juveniles into custody.
The Bureau also recognizes that temporary detention or custody may have lasting impact on the individuals involved and may impact the community at large.
It is the intention of the Bureau to accomplish its mission as effectively as possible while detaining juveniles only for as long as reasonably necessary for safe processing, transfer, and release.
Because the Bureau places high value on providing a positive influence towards youth, the Bureau is dedicated to providing training and resources that help members effectively engage juveniles.

Answer 196

A

The juvenile presents a substantial threat to safety. Substantial threat to safety must involve an articulable opportunity for directed aggression in order for temporary detention to be permissible.

Answer 197
