In the evening hours of Thursday November 9, 2017, the Portland Police Bureau's Traffic Division conducted a Vision Zero traffic safety mission along Southeast Division Street from 82nd to 148th Avenues. Traffic officers were assisted by officers from East, North, and Central Precincts.
Officers focused on dangerous behaviors and the officers were free to make traffic stops on drivers, pedestrians and bicycle riders as they saw fit. The officers were encouraged to share information about the Vision Zero program during these contacts. As always, officers were allowed the discretion to issue citations, warnings or classes.
In total, 24 citations were issued as well as 19 written warnings.
The Traffic Division and Precinct operations will be conducting future enforcement missions as staffing allows.
The Portland Police Bureau is committed to working with our partners in government and the community to create safer streets and work towards reducing, and eventually eliminating, traffic fatalities as part of Vision Zero.
