The company also came up short in implementing two other safety measures that help reduce the risk of COVID-19 in the workplace: facial coverings and physical distancing. “Most employers in Oregon continue to move forward with efforts to protect workers against the very real hazard of COVID-19.

Apr 3, 2021 Multnomah County Sheriff Mike Reese released an open letter to the community this week as the Derek Chauvin trial began in Minneapolis. This week, the trial of Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd began. I want to acknowledge that the trial may bring renewed pain and trauma for many, especially among Black people and people of color in our community.

Over the past year, members of the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office have deeply engaged with the community, met with community leaders and activists, attended and participated in marches and rallies, and listened to your experiences, constr ....
