Chief Bob Day

Around 9:30 PM on March 19, Focused Intervention Team officers spotted a wanted individual and quickly took them into custody. During the arrest, officers recovered a firearm from the suspect’s front pocket, along with a small amount of suspected methamphetamine.

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.

PPB is saddened by the loss of a WSP trooper who was killed while investigating a traffic collision. We honor her service and dedication, and our thoughts are with her family, loved ones, and her colleagues during this incredibly difficult time.

Make it a great day!

Today, Chief Day demonstrated what it means to protect and serve. While driving along West Burnside, he came across a single vehicle crash. He stopped to assist until officers arrived.

On Aug. 28, during back-to-school patrols, our Bike Squad arrested a man for warrants and suspected drug activity within several hundred feet of a school and busses. Meth was recovered.

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.

On Thursday, Assistant Chief Dobson & North Precinct Commander Simon attended the ribbon cutting & grand opening at the U of O’s newly renovated Portland campus. A great event in the Concordia Neighborhood.
