Find sanctuary city resources from the City of Portland's Immigrant & Refugee Program, including free legal services and state resources for reporting hate crimes, bias incidents, discrimination, and violations of Oregon's sanctuary laws.
I am so pleased with my experiences with Portland Street Response. I've seen them working on multiple occasions outside my place of employment and in other parts of the city. I've called 911 several times specifically for Portland Street Response services and have seen their professionalism in serving our community. Many times, the presence of an armed police officer would've only escalated the situation but PSR is able to effectively meet needs that don't require a sworn officer of the law. I support the resolution to make PSR a co-equal branch of the first responder system and create a PSR Committee. I want PSR to expand and take over a greater share of the police and fire department's workload.
