Portland Police Bureau: East Precinct

Nate M

Portland police has paid me a visit tonight. Out of the three officers who arrived, two female and a male officer, only the one male was respectful. It hurts me to see that emotions get in the way of proper police work. They were attempting to get my girlfriend to lie and say she was assaulted. My girlfriend was having a panic attack and completely intoxicated, in no condition to be talking with officers. When I intervened to make sure she was alright and not being charged with any crimes the female officers called me a “piece of work” and continue to make condescending and derogatory remarks as they left. They didn’t come to help resolve as situation, they came to create one. I understand making sure that everyone is okay, but attempting to coheres a statement or confession from someone who is under the influence and having emotional issues is WRONG. In the past I was one who respected police and thought they were mostly good. These female officers have changed my opinion. Professionalism was out of their picture. This department needs a gross overhauled along with the rest of this city.

Crime In every direction, police won't come, yet they receive $ 25,000 signing bonuses and PDX just hired LAPD failure Thomas L. Datro at $ 205,000 annually???

PPB Officer Sid Vosu #56975 displays an exceptional ability to gain cooperation from transients in a non threatening manner. Officer Vosu responded to two calls which ended with positive results and the staff/ employees are grateful for the police.

Contacted the Bureau to report my son's bicycle stolen from our fenced back yard. The bicycle was an expensive trick Bike. I was told by dispatch an officer would come by my residence to take a report. No one ever showed up. Imagine that. I help to pay their salary as a tax payer, but they do not give a damn nor respect to try and recover my little boys birthday gift given this May. I guess because I am a white man I hold low priority???
