We care deeply and are concerned for the adults in custody and have a legal and moral obligation to protect them,” said Multnomah County Sheriff Mike Reese in a statement. “Explosions from commercial grade fireworks, smoke, bright lights, lasers and tear gas continue to have significant and traumatizing impacts on the adults in custody and our staff. The Justice Center is much more than a police station, it is a small city with hundreds of people inside. We ask everyone to do their part to help keep those in the building safe and healthy.
