On Encryption 1/12: In a time when citizens are demanding accountability & transparency from their local law enforcement,
@portlandpolice
have made the decision to shut the door on the media & citizens by turning on encryption to their police dispatch channels.
Portland: campus safety officers near SW 49th responding to a report of someone giving out free pot brownies. On arrival, officers discover the brownies are cooked in a pot but contain no marijuana, officers are clearing
Portland > police to apt. complex on NE Sandy Blvd., report that Grandma is drunk and hitting people, family member has Grandma tied to a bed so she can't hit anyone else.
Portland: if anyone is wondering why we aren’t tweeting anything, it’s because PPB and BOEC have moved all dispatch channels (Central, East and North) to encrypted tactical channels. No material means no tweeting. Sorry for the inconvenience. Stay safe everyone.
Portland > I-5/Marine Dr., NB on-ramp, report of a male swinging a machete around "at the air". Police will not be responding as "he does this everyday"
Sending hugs, love, and safe wishes to all our friends on the West Coast who have been affected by the wildfires. Your friends on Sesame Street are here for you. ♥️

Meanwhile in Washington County: caller left child in vehicle while they ran into the store, suspect stole car with child in it, came back and dropped off the kid, then lectured victim before leaving with the car again...
Stolen vehicle
Caller ran into store real quick, left vehicle running with child still in it

Suspect circled back around
Lectured the caller for leaving the child in the car

Portland ~ Police to Wendy’s on North Lombard, report of a male inside the restaurant pouring ketchup on his head. Described as the one covered in ketchup.
Multnomah County: report of a citizens brigade setting up roadblocks and check points into the Corbett area. Leave it to the professionals, folks. If you wanna be a cop, then apply for the job. Kthanxbye
Deputies have contacted several groups of residents in Corbett who have set up checkpoints and are stopping cars. While we understand their intent is to keep the community safe, it is never legal to block a public roadway or force other citizens to stop.
How about instead of going out, spending a bunch of money at a fireworks stand, & playing the equivalent of “Who Can Burn Down Oregon: The Lottery Edition”, we all go watch local jurisdictions set them off & enjoy a fun event in a safe environment?

vehicles spotted southbound on I-205. We’re glad you’re here. (Also, yes, that’s a crack in the windshield and, heavens no, we would never even consider taking a picture while driving ;-)
We’re gonna say it now because we will probably forget later, so...
1) don’t be an asshat and drive drunk;
B) don’t become a pdxalert;
III) do tip your bartenders;
Four) do have a very happy New Year.
