On this day, January 6, 1885, The 148 passengers aboard a train headed from The Dalles to Portland, were finally freed from snowdrifts that blocked their passage both from the east and the west. With food growing alarmingly scarce, the conductor ordered most of the able-bodied men to walk to Portland. About eighty men, many with their feet wrapped in towels, left the trains in extreme blizzard conditions to make their way to the city. No one starved and no one died, but nearby Starvation Creek got its name from the incident.

Also on this day, January 6 1994, At the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Detroit, figure skater Nancy Kerrigan was bludgeoned on the right lower thigh with a police baton by an assailant, who was later apprehended and identified as Shane Stant, a person who was hired by Portland resident and rival figure skater Tonya Harding.

Portland FBI Teen Academy Set For July
Students get first hand experience catching criminals.

The FBI Teen Academy program provides an opportunity for rising high school juniors and seniors to learn about careers in law enforcement within the FBI and beyond. The Portland Division will hold their summer camp July 11 to July 14, 2023.

Applicants chosen for the program actively engage with FBI agents and leaders in the Bureau to learn about case studies, crime prevention, evidence gathering, and investigative techniques related to criminal activity. The Teen Academy allows students to delve deeply into levels of law enforcement unavailable to them in a general classroom setting.

“We are excited to be able to offer the FBI’s Teen Academy program again this year,” said Kieran L. Ramsey, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Portland Field Office. “It’s a great opportunity for these kids to learn about the FBI, engage with our Special Agents and develop leadership skills. We try to make this week-long program beneficial and useful for the students but we get so much out of it ourselves, hearing from this next generation of what their concerns are and how the FBI can do better, it’s a great opportunity for everyone.”

Students will learn about how criminals are captured, hear from FBI agents about actual cases, and learn how to raise their self-awareness online and watch for cyber-predators. Graduates of the Teen Academy program develop a keen understanding of how the FBI interacts with local law enforcement agencies and how participants can raise crime prevention awareness in their communities. In addition, hands-on instruction by FBI experts and other law enforcement agents allows students to understand the importance of communication between national and local agencies.

FBI Teen Academy members engage in group activities ranging from small group exercises to hands-on simulations. Participation is free to the applicants chosen, and volunteer organizations provide supplies for the events. As a result, students learn valuable life skills and increase their knowledge and understanding of how law enforcement agencies interact around the country.

Teens can submit their application to outreach.pd@fbi.gov by Friday, April 14, 2023.
