Community Safety Reminder: Reporting Unauthorized Entry onto Private Property

The City of Maywood Park is aware of recent neighborhood conversations regarding an individual reportedly entering residential driveways and backyards without permission.

We understand these reports may be concerning to residents and want to offer a reminder about how to respond appropriately.

If someone enters your private property without permission, you are encouraged to contact the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office through the non-emergency line at 503-823-3333. Consistently reporting incidents directly helps law enforcement document concerns, identify patterns, and determine whether further action, including a formal trespass warning, is appropriate.

If you believe there is an immediate threat to your safety or a crime requiring an urgent response, call 911.

Please report concerns rather than confronting anyone and be thoughtful about what is shared online. We encourage neighbors to remain attentive without making assumptions—sticking to what you directly observed helps the Sheriff’s office do its job.

The City values both the safety of our residents and the respectful treatment of everyone in our community. Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and welcoming Maywood Park.
