On January 11, officers heard gunshots in NW. Witnesses reported the shots came from a vehicle that fled. Officers located the car & stopped it. The investigation determined a passenger was responsible for the earlier shooting. A handgun & ammo were recovered, and one arrested.

It was my honor to participate in the 103rd Annual Sunshine Division Pack Night. Dozens of volunteers packed more than 4200 holiday food boxes for community members. I am so impressed with Sunshine and am proud that PPB can partner with them to help those in need in our community

In recent days, officers have disrupted possible street racing activity on North Marine Drive. Officers told dozens of drivers & onlookers that trespassing in business driveways & blocking sidewalks wouldn’t be tolerated. This proactive policing resulted in crowds dispersing.

We are receiving numerous inquiries regarding a police presence around North Portland. We know of 2 different activities: one is a police training for the PPB Crisis Negotiation Team. Another was a criminal warrant served by the US Postal Inspection Service and partners.

This year marks the 10th for the Vanport Mosaic Festival. I spent my morning in North Portland taking a walking tour of the land where Vanport once stood. I now have an even greater appreciation for the area’s rich history. You can learn more here: vanportmosaic.org/

For the second year in a row, @salarmycascade awarded PPB the Commander’s Trophy for outdueling our partners at @PDXFire during Christmas bell ringing. While we’re thrilled, raising critical funds for the Salvation Army is an even greater victory!
