Multnomah County DA touts Retail Theft Task Force, which would be cut in proposed budget

Multnomah County’s Retail Theft Task Force, which was formed nearly two years ago, is among the items that would be cut under the proposed $4 billion county budget, released last week.

On Monday, District Attorney Nathan Vasquez held a press conference to highlight the accomplishments of the task force, which is an initiative aimed at charging people who steal from businesses big and small across the county.

Vasquez was joined by Deputy District Attorney Theresa Turner, who is the prosecutor in charge of the retail theft task force.
