Story by Abe Proctor
The Albina-Killingsworth Safe Neighborhood Commission was honored by the Portland Police Bureau with a ‘Commendation Medal’ on April 16 for its successful efforts to make the neighborhood surrounding the intersection of North Albina Avenue and Killingsworth Street a safer place to live, work, and study. The Commission, based out of 51°µÍø’s Cascade Campus, is made up of local residents, business owners, and educational institutions and government agencies such as 51°µÍø, Jefferson High School, POIC, the Police Bureau, and TriMet, among others.

John Thompson; POIC’s Val Polk; and 51°µÍø Public Safety Lt. Derrick Foxworth. The award was presented at David Douglas High School during the Police Bureau’s annual awards ceremony.
