Crime Prevention

As you've likely heard, there have been some arson incidents recently in North Portland. Mark Wells, Crime Prevention Coordinator, spoke at our last neighborhood meeting and gave the following advice:

• Test all smoke detectors

• Remove anything flammable outdoors

• Put away barbeque related items

• Walk the perimeter of your house daily

• Report anything suspicious

Most of the fires have started between 1:00 - 5:00 AM.  For emergencies call 911.  The non-emergency line is: 503.834.3333.
