In an effort to quell potential unrest in the city, police monitored Portland’s streets on foot and by bicycle while officials counted votes on election day.
Months before the 2024 presidential election, the Police Bureau readied itself for increased tensions.

There, they collaborated with the few protesters who did show up to de-escalate unplanned clashes and maintain calm protests.
