On Wednesday, January, 15, 2025, Central Precinct’s Neighborhood Response Team partnered with the Bike Squad to conduct a no plate vehicle mission in the Downtown and Central Eastside areas. PPB members arrested two people and cited eight while recovering two stolen vehicles.

Mission stats:

  • 12 stops
  • 2 arrests
  • 5 vehicles towed
  • 8 citations
  • 2 stolen vehicles recovered
  • 2 stolen bicycles recovered

This mission was in direct response to community concerns. In addition, PPB has found that often times vehicles without plates are either stolen, used in the commission of a crime, or connected to other crimes. PPB remains committed to conducting missions similar in nature in order to improve public safety and livability across the city.
