Tip of the Week For the week of May 20, 2024 Move Over. It's the Law. Every day, first responders take on personal risk to serve our communities and save lives. Even a routine traffic stop has become risky. The following information comes from the Oregon Department of Transportation (www.oregon.gov/ODOT) and can help keep first responders and commuters safer. There have been many cases where officers are pulled over on the side of the road when drivers have then crashed into them at high speeds. That’s why there’s a strict law in Oregon designed to help prevent these situations from happening again. The Move Over Law (ORS 811.147) states that if you are approaching any type of emergency vehicle, tow truck or roadside assistance vehicle which is stopped on the roadside with emergency lights activated, you must: 🚗 MOVE OVER into another available lane. 🚛 If you can’t safely change lanes, SLOW DOWN to a speed that is at least 5 mph below the posted or designated speed of the roadway. 🚗 In all cases, the driver must try to provide as much room as possible for the emergency vehicle, tow truck or roadside assistance vehicle. The Move Over Law is in place to help protect law enforcement officers, emergency workers, tow operators and those who routinely provide assistance to motorists along the highways. This group of dedicated professionals face a deadly threat on a daily basis: speeding and inattentive drivers. But the law also exists to protect you. The flashing lights are your cue to move over and slow down. If you are approaching the scene of a crash, carefully watch for emergency workers directing traffic and follow all of their instructions.

We’ve got some good news for those looking to join our Corrections or Patrol teams! Accessing the written testing just got easier. We’ve moved our testing platform and are now using the National Testing Network (NTN). What does this mean? ✅ You don’t have to wait for a hiring event or wait to get scheduled with HR to test. You can access this testing from home, the library, or wherever you like to test! ✅ Applicants that have received passing scores using NTN can have their scores sent to us. If your scores are valid, you don’t have to retest. ✅ We will still hold hiring events to give applicants a chance to complete the physical testing and meet our team, but you can access the written test the same day you submit your application. This will speed up the application process and get you started in your future career even sooner! ⭐ Corrections Test: nationaltestingnetwork.com/publicsafetyjobs/search.cfm?position=3&state=OREGON ⭐ Patrol Test: nationaltestingnetwork.com/publicsafetyjobs/search.cfm?position=1&state=OREGON ⭐ View our open positions and join our team: www.co.lincoln.or.us/748/Join-the-Team

Tip of the Week For the Week of May 13, 2024 Wildfire Preparedness Oregon saw 190,500 acres burn by wildfire in 2023, the smallest acreage since 2019. But it was the third most expensive year fighting fires since 2015. We won’t know for sure how this year will turn out, but we have seen acreage and cost rise over the last 10 years. All of us can take steps to prepare and protect the land around us from damage. Here are 10 things you can do now to prepare for wildfire season: 🔥 Use safe backyard burning practices. Escaped debris burning is the leading cause of human-caused wildfires in our state. 🔥 Use care with power equipment. Do yard clean up in the spring, not in the summer. Equipment fire usually ranks as the second leading cause of human-caused wildfire. 🔥 Clear a defensible space around your home. Start with 5 feet around your home, then work your way up to a 30-foot distance. This is a buffer-zone that can protect your home in case a wildfire is coming. 🔥 Check your home address marker – can you see it from the street? If not, trim overgrown vegetation so first responders can find you if they need to. 🔥 Locate two alternate routes to safety from your neighborhood. 🔥 Build a 72-hour kit for your family and pets. 🔥 Create a communication plan. Include family, neighbors and a trusted contact out of the area, preferably out of state. 🔥 Document your possessions and store this digitally or away from your home. A video can work for this. 🔥 Sign up for Lincoln Alerts to get local information, warnings, and alerts. 🔥 Share these tips with neighbors, family, and friends. 🔥 For more wildfire prevention tips, visit www.keeporegongreen.orgPhotos from Lincoln County Sheriff's Office - Oregon's post
