Portland Commissioner Rene Gonzalez is getting beefed-up security protection from the city after a recent online threat against him, according to officials and staff.
Two private security guards stationed themselves inside Gonzalez’s City Council offices at the Portland Building on Tuesday after police began investigating the new threat, Shah Smith, his chief of staff, told The Oregonian/OregonLive. The city already provides the commissioner with a 24/7 security detail, Smith said.
