King Neighborhood bids farewell to a friendly face and respected member of the King community. Officer Ryan Bren, with the City of Portland’s North Precinct will be taking a new assignment with the City of Portland. He has been serving in the King neighborhood, district #630 since September of 2010. At the request of the King Neighborhood Association, Officer Bren started attending monthly neighborhood association meetings in an effort to update, advise and inform neighbors of any concerns affecting the community. In addition to his visits, he regularly reminded neighbors to contact him at anytime and offered “ride-alongs” to anyone interested. He often brought guest speakers to meetings such as gang enforcement officers and Commander of the North Precinct, Jim Ferraris to address special concerns. Recently, Officer Bren and his wife welcomed their first child, a baby boy. The King Neighborhood Association wishes Officer Bren and his family all the best as he embarks on his new assignment!
