The majority of his career was spent on patrol but he also spent 2 years as the Sergeant of the Internal Affairs Unit and 4 years as the Sergeant in the Community Response Impact Team (CRIT) and was also an Operations Commander. As Deputy Chief, he oversaw both the Field and Operations divisions of the Arvada Police Department.

Topic: Dark Nights of the Soul
Deputy Chief AJ DeAndrea was in a leadership role in three school shootings that changed the fabric of American society and police response to active shootings around the world. He takes a deep dive into these tragic events and more importantly analyzes the positive things that came from them from improved tactics, decision making and mental health practices.

 

Governor Kotek Visits DPSST

DPSST hosted Governor Tina Kotek last week at the Oregon Public Safety Academy as they prepare for the upcoming launch of expanded Basic Police courses. Governor Kotek commended DPSST's staff for their work adapting the 40-student course model to accommodate 60 students, reducing the training backlog for law enforcement officers throughout Oregon. After addressing DPSST staff, the Governor visited a Basic Police classroom and a group of Oregon State Police recruits to thank them and voice her support for the state's public safety professionals and their families.

"Oregonians are counting on all of us to be successful here, and I can't thank you enough for stepping up to do this work," Governor Kotek said.

The first of three pilot 60-student Basic Police courses will begin on Monday, November 13, and two weeks later DPSST will begin the first of three classes taught in partnership with Oregon State Police. Since opening enrollment in the expanded courses, the wait time for students entering the Academy has dropped from a high of 7 months to just over 90 days.

DPSST acknowledged this endeavor would not be possible without the steadfast support of Governor Kotek, the Oregon Legislature, and partners at Oregon State Police, Oregon Association Chiefs of Police, and Oregon State Sheriffs' Association.
