I have listened and our community and you have said show us change. PPB needs to be the leader in change. It starts with trust. This change in leadership comes from my heart.Chuck Lovell has been dedicated to service his entire life. I am 100% confident in him and his leadership.

East Precinct had a domestic violence suspect in custody who needed to be booked, but was unable to be brought to the Justice Center. These events are impacting other public safety capabilities.

This improvised explosive landed at the feet of some of our officers. Thankfully the fuse went out. Fireworks, lit flares, and projectiles thrown and launched via sling shot were targeted at police.

I am in close communication with Mayor Wheeler about the use of gas and some of the community’s concerns. We continue to evaluate the best resource options to achieve our number one priority for all events, which is life safety, along with the reduction of serious injury for all.

A Molotov cocktail was located near a building in downtown this afternoon. Life safety is our #1 priority. Help keep things safe for all and report dangerous items to 911.

This is heartwarming to witness. Thank you to those who helped clean up our City after the peaceful demonstration. #OneCommunityPDX

We support peaceful demonstrations and want our city to unify and be an inclusive environment where people trust their law enforcement. We have done a lot of work, but we have more to do. We are listening and need your ideas and for you to be a part of public safety here.

[Jami Resch @ChiefResch]

2 a.m update: Activity downtown has subsided. Vehicles were marked as a method for identifying those engaged in criminal behavior and to increase public safety for all.

[Jami Resch @ChiefResch]

Situation update about actions right after 9 pm: Some peaceful demonstrators in Pioneer Square. Some violent and aggressive actions near Justice center. Police respond with riot control agents to disperse those engaged in criminal activity.

[Jami Resch @ChiefResch]

We will continue to arrest and hold responsible those who engage in acts of violence directed at the police, community members, or who commit other criminal acts.

[Jami Resch @ChiefResch]

Last night, thousands of demonstrators participated in an extensive march without engaging in violence or destruction. Thank you for keeping this event peaceful. Your efforts created a safer environment for all.

Today I met with leaders from Portland’s Faith Based Community to talk and listen.

This moment was an organic act by officers which was intended to demonstrate compassion and community during this difficult time. https://t.co/1O91Zkwydh

[Jami Resch @ChiefResch]

I also want to thank @JoAnnPDX and @tedwheeler for their leadership and support in the creation and declaration of the State of Emergency and curfew to help us keep our community safe.

[Jami Resch @ChiefResch]

Portland’s public safety professionals and regional partners stepped up in a big way the past two days. Last night’s civil disturbance was managed exceptionally well thanks to you. My extreme gratitude goes out to @PPBDeputyChief for his leadership.
