- ➤ Salem Police canceled its annual Community Police Academy scheduled for April due to a $13.8 million budget shortfall—this cut is part of broad efficiency measures that reduced the program from twice-yearly to once-yearly sessions.

- ➤ On Sunday, about 80 postal workers and supporters rallied outside the Keizer post office to protest federal proposals to cut jobs and privatize the postal service—fearing the changes will lead to delays, especially in rural areas. The protest, organized by the National Association of Letter Carriers, saw demonstrators raising signs and chanting their support for maintaining universal mail service—concerns that could affect local delivery in Salem.
