One Year In: Public Safety Under Portland's New Form of Government
Join the Portland Committee on Community-Engaged Policing (PCCEP) for a community forum marking the first year of Portland's new form of government and its impact on public safety.
Hear from:
- Mayor Keith Wilson
- City Council leadership
- Leaders from Portland Street Response and other City safety programs
What to Expect:
Mayor Wilson's Public Safety Address
An overview of the Mayor's first year in office, public safety elements of his agenda, and priorities for the year ahead.
Conversation with the Mayor
A discussion featuring questions from the public about the issues that matter most in their communities.
City Leadership Panel
City Councilors, and program leaders will engage in a moderated panel about their first year under the new system, discuss current work, and explain what they are learning through implementation.
Why This Matters
A key goal of this event is to define how public safety priorities should move through the new government structure—from community experiences to the Mayor's direction, City Council decisions, and frontline programs. Attendees will hear directly from City leadership and have the chance to share what is working, where gaps remain, and what Portland needs to build a safer, more responsive, community-centered city.

Community Input
Community members may give input in two ways. Prior to the meeting, members may provide written public comment to PCCEP. Public comment related to the items under discussion at a specific meeting will be circulated to committee members if received by 8 AM, two days prior to the meeting, to allow committee members to read them in advance, and will also be part of the public record of the meeting.
Additionally, members may give public comment verbally during a meeting without needing to sign up. Opportunities for verbal public comment will occur whenever placed on the agenda towards the end of a meeting. To give verbal public comment, simply raise your hand using the Zoom function during the meeting when facilitators ask if there is any public comment.
