Portland police Chief Mark Kroeker has signed offon a stricter set o f grooming
standards for officers, but members o f the Portland Police Bureau have until
Aug. 1 to shave off their beards or shorten their sideburns.
Under a new general order, called “Appearance & Grooming,” police cannot
wear beards, or have sideburns that extend below their ears. M en’s hair cannot
extend over the tops o f their ears or touch their shirt collars.
W omen’s hair may touch their collars but not extend past that. Neither male
nor female officers can wear their hair braided or in a ponytail. Both men and
women are prohibited from wearing earrings or a necklace that is visible.
No pins, ribbons, stickers or other items are allowed to be placed on or over
any part o f the officer’s badge, and only two authorized pins — such as a police
union or D.A.R.E. pin — may be worn on the officer’s right shirt pocket.
Detectives who are not in uniform are restricted from wearing shirts with logos
while on the job.
Even before the new policy was written, many police supervisors shaved off
their beards, trimmed their sideburns and removed their earrings. But some
officers who do not support the c h ie fs grooming policy have vowed not to
adhere to the new restrictions. The new policy does not say what discipline,
if any, officers may face for not following the rules.

A string o f church break-ins over the weekend may have been done
by the same group o f vandals, police said.
Four churches in Tigard, three in Beaverton and three in unincorporated
Washington county were ransacked between Friday night and Sunday
night.
Nothing was stolen from most o f the churches, although several
computers were taken from Tigard-area churches. Damage estimates
w eren’t known Monday.
The break- ins marked the second time in as many months that churches
in Tigard and Beaverton were burglarized and vandalized. In mid-June,
burglars broke into about six churches, some several times. In those
incidents, burglars stole computer and electronic equipment and small
amounts o f cash, left graffiti and urine on office equipment and took
a church van on a joyride.
Investigators did not know whether the burglaries and vandalism in
June or last weekend were connected, said Sgt. Marlene Gaskins,
spokeswoman for the W ashington County sh eriffs office.
The break-ins are not considered hate crimes, Gaskins said.
Damage included overturned pews, whipped cream stuck on furniture,
doors kicked down, computer monitors smashed with hammers and
holes poked through a portrait o f Christ.
