A letter to our community from Chief Burdick regarding Immigration Enforcement.

Recently, there have been increases in federal immigration enforcement efforts across the country. As this enforcement occurs, I acknowledge this creates uncertainty and possibly fear in some of our local communities.

Can you ID?

The Milwaukie Police Department would like to enlist the community’s assistance with information about a vehicle involved in a hit and run. The pictured vehicle, (a white Mercedes sedan) struck a canine and barely avoided the dogs owner at the intersection of SE Hwy 224 and SE Freeman at approximately 8:20 AM on 1/26.

The driver stopped momentarily then continued East on SE Hwy 224. MiPD would appreciate information about the vehicle. If you are the driver of this vehicle, you are urged to contact the Milwaukie Police Department as soon as possible.
