Information
The Portland Police Bureau has more than one hundred Directives – formal written standards – that are the foundation for all Bureau operations and training. Directives set expectations for Bureau member actions, guide the Bureau's training curriculum, and establish the principles for member evaluation and accountability.
Directive 0010.00 establishes the process for reviewing and changing Directives and explains that process in detail.
Active Directives are currently enforceable Bureau Directives. All Active Directives are listed in the Directives Manual.
The Bureau collects written feedback on Active Directives on a continuing basis – in a process called Open Engagement. Anyone can submit their comments by email or in an anonymous survey.
Draft Directives are new directives, or proposed changes to Active Directives. The Bureau publishes all Draft Directives for a 60-day Public Comment Period to seek written feedback from Bureau members and the community.
Draft Directives that are open for feedback are found under Public Comment Period – Draft Directives.
The Bureau encourages frequent and honest feedback on all Bureau Directives. While you may not receive an individual response to your comment, the Policy Development Team is dedicated to reading and considering all written feedback.
