RE: ACCEPT THE 2023 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PORTLAND POLICE BUREAU
The Portland Police Bureau's (PPB) Annual Report for 2023 (2023 Report) is attached as Exhibit A. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement in United States of America v. City of Portland, Case No. 3:12-cv-02265-SI, as amended, PPB shall issue a publicly available annual report which shall include a summary of its problem-solving and community policing activities.
In May 2024, and prior to the 2023 Report being finalized and publicly released, a draft copy was provided to the Portland Committee on Community Engaged Policing (PCCEP) for its review. PPB received both feedback from PCCEP and the community at a PCCEP meeting on May 14, 2024, and invited additional written comments until June 10, 2024. PPB also held meetings in each of its precincts on July 18, 24, and 30, 2024, respectively, and is now presenting the 2023 Report to Council.
I recommend that Council accept the report.
