The Portland Rose Festival Fleet Week is here! Yesterday, our River Patrol Unit and East County SWAT Team had the honor of escorting visiting ships down the Columbia and Willamette Rivers to their docking locations along the Portland waterfront. U.S. Navy ships will be open for public tours between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. June 4–7. Our River Patrol Unit will remain stationed along the waterfront to support the United States Coast Guard in enforcing a security zone during Fleet Week 2026. The security zone spans the Willamette River between the Hawthorne and Steel bridges and will be enforced now through 12 p.m. on Monday, June 8, 2026. Stay safe and enjoy Fleet Week!

Our River Patrol Unit is preparing to support the United States Coast Guard enforcing a security zone on the Willamette River during Fleet Week 2026. The security zone along the Willamette River between the Hawthorne and Steel bridges will start at 12 p.m. on today, June 2, 2026 and run through 12 p.m. on Monday, June 8, 2026. The security zone – established by the Coast Guard – is designed to protect the various vessels that will be moored along the waterfront near Tom McCall Park, as well as the public participating in Rose Festival events. During this enforcement period, no person or vessel may enter or remain in the designated security zone without permission from the Sector Columbia River Captain of the Port. Boaters who need to enter the area must ask for permission using the marine radio via VHF Marine Radio Channel 23A. mcso.us/public-information/m…

Recently, we presented our 2025 City of Troutdale Annual Report, demonstrating public safety improvements, enhanced response efficiencies, and greater community engagement. The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office managed 8,644 total calls for service within Troutdale in 2025. This includes emergency dispatched responses and self-initiated proactive services. The briefing comes as the City of Troutdale reviews its long-standing intergovernmental public safety agreement with the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office, originally established in March 2015. The city has expressed interest in creating its own city-run police department. The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office encourages residents to stay involved with the process by learning more and sharing their opinions at upcoming public meetings. We believe that establishing a fundamentally understaffed, inadequate police department – one that lacks 24/7 patrol services – does not fulfill the government’s public safety obligation to its residents. mcso.us/public-information/m…

On Sunday, our deputies answered a call we hope never happens. An officer from the Sandy Police Department had been shot during a domestic disturbance. The suspect barricaded himself inside a residence. Sandy Police later confirmed multiple people inside the home died in what is now being investigated as a homicide. Our deputies and on-duty members of the East County Metro SWAT Team responded to provide assistance to both the Sandy Police Department and Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office during this dynamic and dangerous incident. We are grateful that the injured officer is at the hospital recovering from their injuries — likely because of the heroic efforts of fellow officers, paramedics, and hospital personnel. Our thoughts are with the recovering officer, the homicide victims, their families, the entire Sandy community. We are also thinking of the first responders who faced significant danger on Sunday. We offer our support and full assistance to Chief Patrick Huskey and the entire Sandy Police Department as they navigate the aftermath of this incident. To the men and women who continue to serve and protect our communities each day—you have our respect and our gratitude. Stay safe.
