Fire Alarm Activated At Milwaukie Public Safety Building
- 01/08/26
On the morning of 1/8/26, a male entered the Milwaukie Public Safety Building (PSB) lobby and inquired about retrieving property he claimed was in storage in the police department facility. The male spoke with the Milwaukie Police evidence technician about the property and during that interaction, the evidence technician informed the male the Police did not have any property of his. The male showed the evidence technician his barefoot and after replacing his shoe abruptly ended the conversation and walked toward the exit.
Prior to exiting the lobby, the male reached out and pulled the PSB fire alarm activation lever, which sounded the evacuation alarm and triggered various safety devices and systems within PSB, a municipal government facility which includes the Milwaukie Police Department, The City of Milwaukie Information Technology and Clackamas County Fire Department station #2. The male immediately ran away to the East on SE Harrison Street.
Officers located the male, Tyler R. Mears, 30 of Milwaukie a short distance away and took him into custody without incident. He was lodged at the Clackamas County Jail for disorderly conduct. None of Mr. Mears property was retained at PSB.
Special thanks to a quick response from Clackamas Fire station #2 in silencing alarms and assisting in determining quickly there was no mechanical or life safety failures in the building effecting personnel safety. MiPD case #26-000133
VIDEO: MiPD 26-133, Fire Alarm pulled at PSB on 1-8-26
