As a recently sworn-in police recruit with a documented history of serious heart conditions and…read moremultiple prior cardiac surgeries, I entered the academy process with both commitment and vulnerability. During training, I experienced alarming symptoms, including tasting blood, and raised concerns about my health. I did not feel there was meaningful follow-up, individualized assessment, or clear coordination to ensure that my medical condition was being fully evaluated in light of the physical and academic demands placed upon me. Given my documented medical history, I found this deeply concerning. Police organizations appropriately hold recruits to high standards of performance, discipline, and accountability. Those same standards of care, communication, and attentiveness to serious medical concerns should apply internally as well. When someone's health, career, and reputation are all at stake simultaneously, there should be a clear and transparent process that prioritizes both readiness and well-being. I hope future recruits with documented medical histories receive thorough, proactive engagement when concerns are raised

No aid offered I was just in Detroit and was met with please and thank you by officers and randomly walking down street, was greeted with "have a nice day" Needless to say ,, I would go back to Detroit in a heart beat, as far as Portland does, can't convince my daughter to get out of Portland fast enough Talk about a crime!! Pathetic

Ok so after spending 2 weeks in the clark county jail In Vancouver I have to give this jail 2…read morestars . Now I figure considering it's a jail that's pretty good. Clark county was awful . The food I wouldn't let my dog eat ,the staff are complete assholes when they don't have to be . Do not reccomend getting caught doing anything in clark county that will get u put in jail plus just drive to portland your less likely to get caught and if u do at least the jail there isn't too bad as far as jails go. The food is edible ,your get kool-aid with your meals and the staff all in all are nice as long as your not fucking around and being stupid .Its much cleaner then clark county and the male staff are much hotter by far ladies just saying .

Every time I've been arrested in Portland the booking prosess has been smooth and expedite. Staff…read moreis nice enough if you are. They will let you go with a court date as long as your not violent or wanted someplace else and even then they try to work it out and give you a court date for there too. Doing away with the cash bond system is working out here and I'm more likely to show for court in this system then the old. Would give more stars except for it's jail so.

My daughter and I flew into PDX and discovered that the driver that was supposed to pick us up when…read morewe landed was still in Pendleton(!) and we were looking at a wait of several hours. We decided to do some sight-seeing while we waited but I had no idea how mass transit worked. Fortunately, we ran into a pair of Transit Police officers who visited with us, explained how things worked, and suggested some things for us to do while we waited. The two officers could not have been more considerate or helpful.

I'm not worried because I paid but I used my android pay on my phone for the first time and didn't get a printed ticket.

I'm trying to show him on my acct but its pending and he's being a total dick saying well I don't know when you paid it. You could have done it when I got on the bus!

I had no idea the Mounted Patrol Unit (MPU) keeps their horses stabled in NW PDX! The outside…read moreportion is just north of the Waterfront Pearl condos and lets you get right up to the fence to see the horses up close! If you're running along the west-side waterfront pedestrian path, you'll encounter it at the end of the Willamette River Greenway Trail. Although it's tempting to feed the horses, DON'T DO IT! It's very much not allowed, and for anyone familiar with the area you know not to mess with the PPD! As Anna B. mentioned, it's disappointing that their funding seems to be in perpetual jeopardy, but at least for the time being you'll still see them patrolling the streets of downtown.

I sighed, thinking well at least we have until July 1 to enjoy them, but alas "here's that rainy day." Yeah, "that rainy day" on a 90-degree day in Portland, must be this morning's heavy mist in our overcast start that's making my eyes a little teary, right? I'm sure this could not have been an easy decision for city government. Still .... I've seen this squad working together so many times at so many events. I'm not sure they need any PR professionals with the horses - such powerful charmers. I love patting their soft muzzles and visiting with their police partners. It is especially wonderful to see families with small children interacting with the officer and horse partner. However, I sure wouldn't want to be brought to justice by one of these well-trained gentle giants. I grew up around a Belgian work horse, and he meant business. When he didn't want to be bothered, he made you very aware of his displeasure; horses bite and kick which can cause unbelievable trauma and even death. Think of that with the horse officers and police officers fighting wrongdoers. I don't know if Marvel Comics could come up with better crime-fighting duos. Farewell, Horse Officers. You will be sorely missed. I hope you land well and softly wherever you go. We thank you and your human officer partners for all your service over the years, and we hope that you come back one day soon.

On or about 10-25-24 a Milwaukie Sgt. noticed a bike out of place in their impound. He ran the serial numbers and found it to be the $5,400+ bike that was stolen. YAY! I am a retired police chief and knew all sorts of officers. My salutations to Sgt. Inman. He is a reflection of nothing but the highest standards of good police work in Milwaukie and its department. Whether they will leverage this find to root out the other , very expensive, bike remains to be seen but the person that got arrested with the bike may be sweating a bit right now. Keep up the good work!!
