The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office hosted its annual memorial services to honor the 10 deputies and one civilian staff member who have died in the line of duty.

A 47-year-old driver faces multiple criminal citations after losing control of her SUV during an illegal pass and crashing into a Pleasant Valley home's nursery. Although the crash caused significant structural damage, no serious injuries were reported, as the mother had removed her child from the room just minutes before the crash.

The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office River Patrol Unit is issuing a safety advisory for community members utilizing the Sandy River between Oxbow Regional Park and Dabney State Recreation Area.

Following a powerful storm cycle in December 2025, the river’s path has naturally shifted, creating new and potentially significant hazards for recreational users.

Deputies with the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) have arrested a 30-year-old man following a pursuit and crash on Interstate 205.

MCSO is issuing a safety warning to community members as temperatures are expected to climb into the mid to upper 80s this Sunday.
