(Portland, OR)  --  Multnomah County has selected a location for a deflection center.  Under Oregon's new illegal drug law, people stopped by police with small amounts of drugs can go to a deflection center instead of jail.  The center will be located at 9th and Southeast Sandy Boulevard in Portland.  It will offer screenings, basic need services and connection to treatment and recovery services starting September 1st.  This will be a temporary site as the county works to build a larger location for sobering and other services.
