Congratulations to the Portland Police Bureau’s Stolen Vehicle Operation (SVO) team, honored with the IACP Leadership in the Prevention of Vehicle Crimes Award at this year’s IACP Conference in Denver.
This one-of-a-kind initiative partners with OHSU’s Knight Cancer Institute to analyze data in new ways - helping officers identify and stop stolen vehicles more effectively while making fewer traffic stops. The results speak for themselves: fewer stolen cars, better community outcomes, and a model now being shared with agencies across the region and beyond.
Kudos to Officer Michael Terrett and the entire team for leading the way in smart, compassionate policing!
