On August 13, 2010 the Portland City Council replaced Ordinance 183657 with amended

Ordinance 183995 establishing a Police Review Board, 3.20.140. The new Board

process has a Public Reports component. Section I of the Ordinance requires published

public reports twice annually. These memorandums are being posted on the Police

Bureau’s web site to comply with the Ordinance.

I. Public reports. As often as deemed necessary by the Board, but at least

twice each calendar year, the Board shall publish public reports

summarizing its statements of findings and a summary of any training

and/or investigation issues or concerns. The reports shall keep confidential

and not include involved officers’ names, the names of witnesses, or the

name of any complainants. The reports shall be written by the Board

facilitator. The reports may not be released before a final decision,

including discipline if any, is made by the Chief or Commissioner in

Charge.
