Portland Police Bureau’s East Precinct partnered with the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office for a successful night of stopping stolen vehicles and arresting car thieves.

PPB's East Precinct says that they continue to run these operations using a data driven and evidence-based approach to conduct fewer stops while increasing their rate of stolen vehicle recoveries.

“Working together to reduce community violence allows us to build safer communities. I want to thank the Portland Police Bureau for including us in this focused effort in east Multnomah County,” added Sheriff Nicole Morrisey O’Donnell.
