Coalition of Advisory Groups (CAG)
The mission of the CAG is to strengthen understanding through communication, support,
and—where applicable—collaboration among duly recognized police advisory groups in
the City of Portland, enhancing their ability to act as an avenue for collective community
input to the PPB and City Leadership regarding policies, directives, and programs
involving public safety. The advisory groups reflect a commitment by the PPB to establish
and maintain communication with various communities in Portland to receive their input
regarding bureau policies, directives, and practices, as part of an effort to eliminate
disparities for communities experiencing inequities in policing and thereby build public
trust, pursue public safety reform, and increase police legitimacy.
