Ways you can help:
Incident Reporting Form
In collaboration with Portland Police Bureau, Clean & Safe, Multnomah County District Attorney, private security and the Old Town Community Association, a one-page document has been developed that has all of the necessary information the Multnomah County District Attorney requires to have a complete case. Portland Police Bureau staffing shortages mean oftentimes police officers cannot arrive to a scene fast enough to collect this information. As such, they have created a form for residents, business owners and property owners to have and complete as best they can when they witness or are victims of a crime, and that they can call the police and deliver a comprehensive report of what transpired.
Review this document to see ways you can help every day, week and month.
When it comes to everyday actions that make a difference, the Old Town Community has a variety of ways for you to contribute. Join us in creating a better environment by reporting any concerns you spot through pdxreporter.org. Regular engagement with Clean & Safe is essential—whether it's requesting cleaning services or addressing low-level safety needs. By maintaining your storefront area and participating in community events, you actively showcase your commitment to the neighborhood.
Weekly, consider joining our informative Zoom meetings hosted in collaboration with the Mayor's office. This provides a platform to connect with fellow business owners and engage in meaningful discussions. And on a monthly basis, don't miss the opportunity to attend our OTCA meetings, held on the first Wednesday of each month. These meetings are a chance to come together, share insights, and contribute to our collective efforts aimed at making Old Town an even better place to live and work.
Join us in building a stronger, safer, and more vibrant community right here in Old Town. Your active involvement is what fuels our progress and success.
