MULTNOMAH COUNTY, Ore. – The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) will join community members, local faith leaders, and law enforcement partners for the upcoming Faith & Blue event 3 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, October 9, 2025, in Gresham, Oregon.

MCSO deputies and Gresham Police Department officers will be on hand throughout the event to answer questions, speak with residents, and highlight the work our agencies do every day to keep Multnomah County safe. 

Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about community safety initiatives and discuss issues important to them.

Faith & Blue is a national initiative designed to foster safer, stronger, and more unified communities by promoting meaningful connections between law enforcement professionals and faith-based organizations. The events encourage open dialogue, relationship-building, and service activities that bring residents and officers together in shared purpose.

Through this effort, law enforcement agencies and faith-based partners across the country host gatherings, service projects, and community forums.

“These events remind us that public safety is not only about enforcing laws, but also about empathy, collaboration, and shared values,” said Multnomah County Sheriff Nicole Morrisey O’Donnell.

Attendees can enjoy a family-friendly night with live music, light snacks, and connections.
