How to Report Suspicious Activities

Your information can make a difference in stopping crime!

There is nothing too small to report. Even the smallest observation of anything suspicious should be reported. If it isn't an emergency please gather as much information as possible and report it to the Multnomah Country Sheriff's non-emergency number. Obviously if it is an emergency or you need an officer dispatched to your location quickly Dial 911 but if not, dial (503) 823-3333 then choose option 1 then 5. Please report anything suspicious or that doesn't look right for any reason, please report it.

They can't help if your number doesn't accept blocked calls.

On many occassions the police have tried to call and respond to reports but the number they were given to call will not accept blocked numbers. The police often call from their own phones and cannot, for safety reasons, unblock their numbers so please make sure they can reach you.

Is your address well marked and easy to find?

There have been several occasions when the police have tried to respond to an emergency situation and cannot find the address for the location posted on the street. It therefore takes much longer for them to respond. The fire department will put in a bright green address sign with reflective white numbers for easy visibility in an emergency situation.
