Hillsboro
Police Mediation Program
|
|
Mediation is a confidential, voluntary process through which
the parties in dispute resolve their own conflicts with the
assistance of an impartial third party, the mediator. 
The disputants create mutually acceptable resolutions through
improved communication and collaboration.
A mediator does not act as a judge, arbitrator, advocate,
or give advice. Rather, the mediator helps disputants come
to a decision on the issues, brainstorm resolution ideas,
and write up a settlement agreement.
The process is one of personal empowerment and mutual recognition.
- Mediation is fast, fair, and cost effective way to settle
disputes that might otherwise end up in court.
- Mediation seeks to resolve disputes to the satisfaction
of all parties, while preserving positive relationships.
- Mediation is conducted by skilled, impartial mediators.
- Mediation is strictly confidential.
The Hillsboro Police Department's Police-Referred Mediation
Program will assist citizens of Hillsboro to resolve their
disputes from situation arising from:
- Noise
- Conflicts with neighbors
- Garbage dumping
- Dogs barking
- All other animal related - contact
- Children
- Blocked driveways
- Harassment
- False rumors
- Other situations that your referring Officer believes will be helped through mediation.
If the Officer responding to your call gives you a brochure
explaining Police - Referred Mediation, as well as a Referral
Card, then please call the Mediation Center to schedule an
appointment to mediate your dispute. The Center can be reached
at (503) 615-6651.
The party with whom you are having a dispute will have to
agree to the time, so be prepared to have several days and
times when you will be available to mediate.
Please have your Referral Card handy, as you will be asked
for the Officers name and date listed on the Referral Card
when you call the Mediation Center.
Your mediation will be scheduled
as soon as possible, and you will be kept informed through the Mediation
Center of the date and time of your mediation.
