Local Public Safety Coordinating Council (LPSCC)
In 1997, Oregon lawmakers enacted legislation that required counties to convene local public safety coordinating councils that would, at a minimum:
A.  Develop and recommend to the County Board of Commissioners a plan for the use of:

1. State resources to serve the local offender population, and

2. State and local resources to serve the needs of that part of the local offender population who are at least 15 years of age and less than 18 years of age, which plan must provide for coordination of community-wide services involving prevention, treatment, education, employment resources and intervention strategies;

B.  Coordinate local criminal justice policy among affected criminal justice entities.
The Yamhill County LPSCC is composed of the required members as set forth in statute.  The council chair is selected by the membership and serves a term of two years.  The current chair is Mike Sauerwein, City Manager of Sheridan, Oregon
