(Portland, OR) -
Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) is pleased to announce the hiring of Hasan Artharee as the Portland Park Ranger Supervisor. Artharee will be responsible for the day to day operations of the Park Ranger Program. He assumes his duties on July 16.

Artharee has an extensive experience in public safety as a security officer and supervisor. Hasan rose up the ranks to serve at the executive level with Coast Industries. While at Coast Industries, Artharee was responsible for the oversight for 125 employees and the sales and operations of commercial contracts.
He worked with law enforcement and private businesses in the Portland area and in several cities across the United States.
"Throughout his professional career, Hasan has demonstrated the ability to promote and build equity within the workplace and in the community," says PP&R Security Manager Art Hendricks. "He will be a tremendous asset to the Ranger program and a great team member."
Artharee is a graduate of Portland State University, with a Bachelor's degree in Marketing and Social Science. Hasan played Division I basketball at Portland State University, where he was an all-Big Sky conference player.
