Committee Invites Portlanders to Address Mayor, Police Chief at Public Forum on Policing

Portlanders rarely get the chance to ask questions directly of the mayor and police chief, but come Tuesday, they can do just that. Members of Portland’s Committee on Community Engaged Policing (PCCEP) invite the public to join a town hall-style forum on community policing and public safety at 6:30 pm Tuesday, November 17 at Portland Community College’s Cascade campus. The evening is a hallmark annual event for PCCEP, a volunteer committee led by Portlanders to collect community feedback and provide input to the Portland Police Bureau in an effort to effectuate a more equitable policing model in the city. This year’s event: “Defining Community Policing: A Community Conversation with Mayor Wilson & Chief Day” will allow attendees to either submit or ask questions directly to elected officials—namely Mayor Keith Wilson and Portland Police Chief Bob Day—centered on Portland’s policing model.
