King Officer Bren
King Representative, Irek Wielgosz, spoke highly of his experience taking part in a ride-along in the past. He recommended that others take part. By being out on the street with the officer, issues that may go unnoticed by the officer as he drives by in a patrol car can be brought to the officer’s attention and given context.
You can arrange a ride along by contacting Officer Bren at ryan.bren@portlandoregon.gov or by calling the North Precinct at 503-823-5700.
