The Portland Police Association is taking the issue of public safety and police accountability directly to the voters in November. The first proposed measure requires the city to maintain increased levels of patrol officers, mandate a 24-hour drug and alcohol detox drop-off center and boost street response services. The second would change the authority of the voter-approved community police oversight board, allow police officers to serve on the board and revisit if the office should be funded by 5% of the police bureau budget. Both measures would amend the city charter.
