Dear Portlanders,

The City of Portland Police Accountability Commission (PAC) has published its second quarterly report, covering the period from April 1-June 30, 2022. This report includes an overview and analysis of the work of the PAC over the second quarter of 2022, which coincided with the beginning of the Commission's Fact-Finding Phase.

The purpose of the 2022 Q2 Quarterly Report is to provide the City Council and community members with a general sense of what the PAC worked on between April 1 and June 30. This report does not represent any final decisions made by the Police Accountability Commission on the structure, powers, duties, or other details of the new community police oversight board or investigatory and disciplinary structure for Portland police. 

The Commission will issue its third quarterly report in October or early November, focused on the period from July 1 to September 30, which will include the completion of the Fact-Finding Phase of Work.

As of the time of publication, the PAC continues to work on Fact-Finding, with the intention of identifying areas of agreement among the commission's members on:

  • Barriers to Police Accountability, and Best Practices, in the current system in Portland
  • Best Practices, and Practices to Avoid, from Other Jurisdictions
  • Proposals to Consider, and to Avoid, from Subject Matter Experts

The PAC event calendar shows all upcoming events, including meetings of the PAC and its sub-committees. As community engagement events, another major focus of the Commission's work, are scheduled, they will also be added to the event calendar.
