Directives Pending Enactment or Rescission

The Portland Police Bureau recognizes the importance of transparency in directive review and development. 

Before a directive becomes Active, the Bureau publishes an Executive Summary containing 1) a brief statement explaining changes to the directive, 2) the final approved directive, 3) a redline copy reflecting all directive changes, and 4) all survey comments received during the Public Comment Period. 

Executive Summaries are posted publicly on this page for 30 days before the relevant directive becomes Active.  Once the directive is Active, the Executive Summary is moved to the Executive Summary Archive, and the directive becomes an Active Directive found in the Directives Manual.   

Directives that are pending rescission are also posted publicly here for 30 days before being rescinded.
