From Sauvie Island to the Columbia River Gorge, the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office patrols more than 280 square miles of urban and rural area and is responsible for approximately 110 miles of waterways. Our highly trained and dedicated members work around the clock to provide exceptional public safety services for the communities of unincorporated Multnomah County and our contract cities of Fairview, Maywood park, Troutdale, and Wood Village.
We are extremely proud of our innovative policing efforts, such as our Community and School Resource Deputies who encourage positive connections with local businesses, neighborhoods, and schools, and our Homeless Outreach and Programs Engagement Team who work directly with individuals to connect them to much needed resources and services.
At MCSO, we are committed to providing closure for members of our community who have been impacted by crime. Numerous cases are investigated by our Detective Unit which includes general assignment detectives and those who have specialized experience in areas such as domestic violence and elder crimes. Our Civil Unit is responsible for serving and enforcing court orders and a variety of other documents issued by the courts, including protection orders or small claims.
The Law Enforcement Division also has numerous opportunities for members to participate on specialty teams. These include search and rescue, dive team, vehicular crimes team, and several other emergency response teams that are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week to ensure public safety. These opportunities allow for the development of specialized skills and encourage professional growth.
Our members are invested in serving the community, and each and every day, they respond to critical situations that require challenging, split-second decisions to ensure the safety of others. At MCSO, we value building and maintaining community trust through honest, transparent policing efforts and by treating everyone with dignity and respect.
We encourage positive community engagement and a comprehensive understanding of each community we serve. This approach allows MCSO to develop and implement effective strategies to address the unique needs of each community and remain at the forefront of our everchanging environment.
