Description
Nov. 29, 2022 on The Story: For the last few weeks, we've been digging into the phenomenon of rampant shoplifting in the Portland metro area. We've already seen how this crime is dealt with by county district attorneys, but today we're shifting our gaze to county sheriff's offices, which determine jail policies.
