Portland police chief shares safety plan for election amid 'heightened tensions'
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Portland Police Chief Bob Day is sharing a message about safety during this election season amid “heightened tensions.”
At around noon on Tuesday, Day shared a video message talking about the Portland Police Bureau’s plan during election time to enhance community safety.
“We are anticipating a robust election season. And we understand that there’s heightened tensions around this time period,” Day says in the video.
Day says it’s important for PPB to strike a balance between protecting people’s First Amendment rights and responding appropriately to demonstrations, including “crowd control.”
