Security professionals are training truck drivers this week to look and listen for suspicious activities, and then report observations to public safety and law enforcement agencies. Waste Management drivers are uniquely positioned to spot and report unusual situations because they drive neighborhood streets early in the morning when crimes often occur.
Waste Management started the Waste Watch(R) community safety program five years ago in Washington County. Today it is a nationally acclaimed program, serving 100 communities across North America.
"Waste Watch(R) is something extra we can do to help in the community," said Adam Winston, Waste Management's director of operations for Oregon and eastern Washington. "We feel privileged to work in the Portland community, and this is something we can do to promote our shared goals related to health and safety."
Since its debut in Forest Grove in 2004, Waste Watch(R) has grown to national acclaim for its support to law enforcement, emergency services and the Amber Alert system. It has received recognition from municipalities and organizations including USAonWatch and the National Sheriff's Association.
In Washington County, Waste Watch has resulted in several success stories, including drivers reporting document theft from dumpsters at Beaverton businesses and vandalism of vehicles in a residential neighborhood. In one situation, a Waste Management driver spotted a person in distress at 3 am. The driver called for emergency medical assistance and stayed with the person until help arrived.
