Portland Police are providing extra patrols near houses of worship starting this weekend. Police are responding to national events in Charleston, South Carolina, though there are not currently any specific threats locally. The added protections are set to stick for several weeks.
"Our thoughts are with all those affected by the vicious attack in Charleston," said Chief Lawrence P. O'Dea III. "Our officers are here to protect everyone in the community from barbarous, hateful acts of violence. We hope to provide some sense of security as our community comes together to begin the healing process."
The Bureau is dedicated to assuring residents that they will be more proactive in protecting the faith community, and that all threats of violence should be reported to 9-1-1. Threats will be thoroughly investigated. Additionally, if community members prefer anonymity, reports about threats or other concerns may be shared through Crime Stoppers of Oregon.
