Multnomah County Sheriff's Office TriMet Police Annual Report - CY2025 - Flipbook - Page 34
TriMet's Transit Police
Conclusion
TriMetʼs Transit Police is uniquely positioned as it advances through 2026. The population growth occurring
in Washington County, alongside ongoing, highly collaborative planning to establish a formal operational
footprint within Clackamas County, highlights that transit public safety is evolving.
I recognize that current successes – such as our highly efficient Monday-through-Thursday coverage –
cannot simply be stretched thinner to meet these expanding needs. The data within this report provides a
clear, objective justification for the continued growth of the agency's permanent headcount. Securing
additional sworn personnel remains the highest strategic priority, allowing the command team to build out
permanent, dedicated weekend and late-night shi昀琀 rotations, thereby fully reclaiming transit calls for
service and li昀琀ing the operational burden from local municipal precinct partners.
I extend my sincere gratitude to Multnomah County Sheriff Nicole Morrisey O'Donnell for her leadership,
vision, and confidence in this mission. Backed by a commitment to accountability, accessibility, and
responsiveness, TriMetʼs Transit Police is well prepared to meet any challenge. Together with TriMet and
regional partners, this law enforcement agency will continue to ensure that every rider, operator, and
community member experiences a safe, stable, and welcoming journey across the entire metropolitan
network.
