It houses Portland Police Bureau's Central Precinct on the bottom floors,[2] followed by the Multnomah County Detention Center (one of the two county jails)[3] and PPB's headquarters on the top floors. It also contains four court rooms of the Multnomah County Circuit Court, used mainly for arraignments.[4] It was partially built with highway funds when Rocky Butte Jail was demolished to make way for Interstate 205.
