From Portland station KATU:

Sheriffs say they won't help governor's plan to stop Portland protest violence
The sheriffs of Clackamas and Washington County say they will not send staff to help with protests in Portland after Oregon Governor Kate Brown unveiled a plan to address the violence at protests.

The plan called on several local law enforcement agencies to help, including the sheriff's offices of Washington and Clackamas counties.

Clackamas Co. Sheriff Craig Roberts said the governor didn’t approach his office before rolling out the plan, intended to address the violence and arson while also protecting free speech.

“Increasing law enforcement resources in Portland will not solve the nightly violence and now, murder,” the sheriff said. “The only way to make Portland safe again, is to support a policy that holds offenders accountable for their destruction and violence.”

Exactly - Portland is doing catch and release on offenders. The city is not prosecuting them. Minimal bail and back on the streets again. Until they address this, there is no reason why other law enforcement agents need to risk life and limb.

I love too that Gov. Brown did not talk with them first before releasing her great plan. Clueless. No leadership or administrative skills.
