TriMet's Transit Police
Introduction
A Message from Transit Police Chief Matt Jordan
Captain, Multnomah County Sheriff's Office
It is a privilege to present the 2025 Annual Report for TriMetʼs Transit Police, led by the Multnomah County
Sheriff's Office. Over the past year, this team's significant growth resulted in achieving important
milestones in service to our community. Their dedication to public safety represents the very best of our
community and law enforcement.
Throughout 2025, Transit Police strengthened the trust of TriMet riders and staff, as well as community
members, through proactive engagement, investment in advanced training, and application of a data-driven
approach to policing on the transit system. This report presents key statistics and highlights the essential
work performed by our sheriff's deputies, police officers, and professional staff.
Expanding our team – both with sworn officers who provide a visible, reassuring presence and professional
staff who support operations – remains essential to securing our transit system. As our communities evolve,
this growth helps to ensure we can maintain proactive patrol coverage across the entire system.
I extend my sincere gratitude to Multnomah County Sheriff Nicole Morrisey O'Donnell for her trust and
confidence in our team. I am also grateful to TriMet's General Manager Sam Desue Jr., TriMet Chief Safety
& Security Officer Andrew Wilson and the agencyʼs executive team and TriMet staff for their continued
partnership during some of the most challenging times in modern law enforcement.
I am honored to represent the dedicated members of the Transit Police. In 2026, we remain committed to
accountability, accessibility, and responsiveness, helping to ensure our policing services meet the evolving
needs of our TriMet partners and the community.
