The Family Services Division (FSD) of the Portland Police Bureau is charged with investigating crimes perpetrated against vulnerable populations within our community. Members consist of a unique blend of sworn police personnel and civilian employees who are dedicated to serving fragile victim populations. Police officers, detectives, sergeants, victim advocates and volunteers, and other staff have been carefully selected based on their skills, level of experience, and abilities to work with victims.

 

FSD works closely with several law enforcement agencies, social service agencies and community-based organizations throughout the metropolitan area in order to combat crime and violence against children, senior citizens and families. We integrate the investigative process with information and services from established community partners in order to streamline resources and maximize service delivery. Through these collaborative efforts, we are able to coordinate investigations and provide a comprehensive system of care.

 

There are several distinct units within the Family Services Division, each of which is tasked with protecting specific victim populations. The units include the Child Abuse Team , the Domestic Violence Reduction Unit , the Elder Crimes Unit , and the Juvenile Runaway Unit . There are two additional units within the Division which promote prevention and early intervention: WomenStrength and the Police Activities League.

 

When members of the community come into contact with personnel from the Family Services Division, the message is clear: we care about victims and work diligently to protect them while holding criminals accountable.
