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!

Police Bureau Introduces New Citizen Online Reporting System
The Portland Police Bureau has launched a new Citizen Online Reporting System. This internet-based system, gives citizens the ability to report property crimes within Portland that have no suspect information, saving them time and money and freeing up valuable police resources for response to more critical incidents.
Once submitted, Portland police officers will review and approve every report. Reports that require additional response or are inappropriate will be modified and responded to as needed. The reporting citizen will then receive a PDF copy of the approved and case numbered report via email within 72 hours. This online service is without any cost to the citizen and avoids the current minimum $10 expense and delay in receiving copies of reports not submitted online.
Citizens can report the following types of incidents:
o Theft from vehicle
o Vandalism to vehicle
o Theft (excluding firearms and prescription medications)
o Vandalism (excluding graffiti)
o Lost property (excluding firearms and prescription medications)
o Additional property information (property information from a previously filed report)
