The Public Safety department has an ongoing working relationship with the City of Gresham and Troutdale Police Departments, Portland Police Bureau and the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office. These law enforcement agencies provide support to MHCC when requested and these entities share relevant information with MHCC related to actual or potential criminal activity on our campuses or in the surrounding area that might warrant timely warnings. MHCC’s relationship also includes an agreement with the City of Gresham Police Department for the Public Safety department to take courtesy crime reports for crimes occurring on MHCC’s Gresham Campus and The Bruning Center.

Special agent campus liaisons from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) office in Portland are assigned to MHCC to establish a point of contact, create an information sharing environment, increase awareness and provide training for MHCC Public Safety personnel and managers.
