State Police Pull out of Portland, Mixed Messages on Departure
august 14, 2020
“The Oregon State Police is continually reassessing our resources and the needs of our partner agencies and at this time we are inclined to move resources back to counties where persecution of criminal conduct is still a priority,” Captain Timothy Fox, public information officer, said in a statement released on Thursday.
“Last night was our last night in Portland,” the statement said.
State Police’s move comes just days after Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt said his office would not prosecute rioters arrested unless the charges against them included property damage, theft or the use or threat of force against another person.
And Fox’s statement was updated after state authorities pushed back and said the state police were only temporarily stationed in the city.
