Purpose of the Conversation

Mayor Keith Wilson and Police Chief Bob Day will share their visions for policing and public safety in Portland. PPB will give a brief presentation about its approach to engaging with the public. Most of the event will be an open conversation where community members can respond, ask questions, share experiences, and discuss what they want from policing in Portland.

Why Your Participation Matters

“Community policing” is used to describe many different things, from neighborhood relationships and trust to how police listen and respond to community needs. Those definitions should include the people and communities most affected by policing. Your organization’s experience and perspective can help make that conversation more grounded in Portlanders’ priorities.
