Fairview staff introduce new investigations lieutenant and review September patrol statistics
Summary
PSAC members heard introductions to new staff, including Lieutenant Jason Pierce and Chief Ryan Hakala, and received a September activity report: 441 calls for service in the month, 250 dispatched calls, 191 self‑initiated calls, 87 traffic stops, and one stolen vehicle (a Kia).
The committee heard introductions and staffing updates from Fairview public-safety leadership and reviewed monthly activity numbers for September.
Lieutenant Jason Pierce was introduced as the new investigations lieutenant; staff noted his previous 20-plus years with the Portland Police Bureau and experience in a variety of investigative roles. Ryan Hakala, who identified himself as the chief assigned to Fairview after long service with the Multnomah County sheriff’s office, summarized his background in river patrol, civil unit supervision and training oversight.
On activity, staff reported 441 calls for service in September: 250 dispatched calls and 191 self‑initiated calls. Officers conducted 87 traffic stops during the month and recorded one stolen vehicle incident (a Kia). The department said additional enforcement missions tied to domestic-violence awareness and proactive enforcement in neighboring jurisdictions likely affected the monthly totals.
Committee members asked routine questions about traffic-stop volumes and mission-driven enforcement that briefly explained month-to-month variation. No formal policy actions or motions were taken during the staffing and statistics portion of the meeting.
