The CSO identified the vehicle in question and observed that the driver’s side rear window had been shattered. There did not appear to be any evidence of attempted theft of or from the vehicle. The CSO covered the window with plastic to protect the interior of the vehicle. The vehicle is registered with Community Safety so Dispatch was able to notify the vehicle owner of the damage.

Vehicle
Location: North Lot

Notes: CSOs on patrol in the Upper North Lot encountered an individual standing near a Honda CRV holding a gas can. When the CSOs approached the individual to offer assistance, the individual left quickly in a gray Kia Soul parked close by. At this time, the CSOs encountered the strong odor of gasoline. Upon closer inspection, they observed that gas was leaking from holes that appeared to have been drilled in the gas tank of the CRV. Portland Fire was requested for safe clean up of the gasoline spill. Approximately one hour later on another patrol of the North Lot, the CSOs encountered the strong odor of gasoline in the Lower North Lot. They identified a Toyota Sequoia as the source of the odor, and again observed that holes had been drilled in the gas tank. Portland Fire was again called for safe clean up of the gasoline. While inspecting the remaining vehicles parked in the North Lot, the CSOs encountered a Subaru whose contents appeared to have been sifted through. The vehicle was found to be unlocked so the CSOs locked the vehicle. The Honda and Subaru are registered with Community Safety so Dispatch was able to notify the owners of the vehicles of the activity. A note was left on the Toyota informing them of the damage found and instructing the owner to contact Community Safety for more information.

CS Survey Responses:

Every week Community Safety requests survey responses from those who've had interactions with a member of the Community Safety team. These responses are always collected anonymously with the option for the responder to leave contact information if they would like for a member of Community Safety management to contact them, and are used internally for departmental performance tracking. Community Safety has opted to publish these survey results for transparency and community accountability. *Names and pronouns mentioned in survey responses will be redacted to protect the privacy of individuals.

In addition to surveys sent directly to those who have interacted with Community Safety, the ¹û½´ÊÓƵ community is always encouraged to independently complete the survey regarding Community Safety's performance.
