Portland police prep for President Donald Trump's second Inauguration Day

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- With the inauguration of Donald Trump for a second time set for Monday, Portland city officials and law enforcement are holding a press conference to discuss their preparations and plans for the day.

The press conference features Mayor Keith Wilson, PPB Chief Bob Day, Multnomah County District Attorney Nathan Vasquez and someone from the Portland Bureau of Emergency Management.

This is not the first time city officials have gotten in front of events that may or may not take place related to the election and the political climate.

After Donald Trump's first presidential inauguration in January 2017, thousands marched through downtown Portland -- eventually turning into confrontations with law enforcement. Police worked to keep protesters off bridges and away from Portland’s east side, at times even using tear gas.

A full month before the election, Day released a video message to let everyone know PPB was preparing with other agencies -- county, state and federal -- to handle any protests that veered away from peaceful.

“Our event liaison officers are engaging with numerous community groups and are available to assist with those wanting to exercise their First Amendment rights,” Day said on October 1. “Internally, we are taking an all-hands-on-deck approach. We’ll be canceling days off, sworn members will be working additional hours and our professional staff will be increasing their roles as support for this important time.”

Less than a week before the election, a similar group of officials held a press conference. At that event, Day said the city and county had been “diligently working towards a level of preparation that I have not seen in my over 30 years of service.”

In the days before the election, police said there were no identified threats related to the election or events afterward. But an abundance of caution led PPB to increase staffing on Election Day and the following days.

On Election Night, a small group of protestors gathered in Chapman Square — but the city didn’t see any destruction or damage.

On Nov. 6 -- the day after the election -- Day said officers were "situated in the best possible way with all available resources prepared to respond" if needed. As it turned out, there was no violence connected with any groups that gathered.
