Metro is an Affirmative Action / Equal Opportunity Employer Holistic Approach C ontinued froM f ront ing up, because of the tension we had,” she explains. While Ortiz is not a member of the Bureau’s Personnel Division, she frequently attends police of- ficer recruiting drives at schools and other institutions, Simpson said. Uncage the Soul, the local pro- duction company that was respon- sible for the video’s making, ex- plains the methodology that was utilized throughout the video’s production: “We understood that the national and local conversa- tions about policing required sen- sitivity and honesty… We felt that an unscripted and transparent look at policing was appropriate.” The video features a diverse assort- ment of Portland Police officers both in the field and in interviews, extolling the virtues of both the Bureau and life in the Northwest. Simpson explains that the agency is also pushing for deeper, more systemic change, “This isn’t a hollow recruiting pitch at all. It’s a holistic approach to increasing the overall diversity of the organi- zation.” Simpson says the Bureau’s ef- forts are focused on fostering a welcoming environment and com- fortable workspace for officers of all backgrounds. On the ongoing educational efforts to understand and embrace minority concerns, he states, “This year, every offi- cer was trained in a baseline eq- uity and diversity course that talks about racial injustice in the coun- try, but more directly, in the city of Portland.” Simpson states that the Bureau hopes to recruit a force that mir- rors the city itself, demographical- ly speaking. Data from the 2010 census shows that about 24 per- cent of the city’s populace belongs to a minority group, while the Portland Police Bureau’s current percentage of minority officers is just about 16 percent. Simpson explains the value in having a di- verse law enforcement force: “We need to look like the community we serve… It increases our ability to develop trust in the communi- ty.” Under the incoming adminis- tration of recently-inaugurated Mayor Ted Wheeler, Simpson said that he is optimistic the Police Bu- reau’s hiring initiatives will only grow stronger. Speaking to future efforts to increase the force’s di- versity, Simpson states, “He made it very clear that that’s a priority of his.” Simpson said, “Recruiting good candidates is important to the health of the city.” For more information on the Police Bureau’s officer recruit- ment process, visit joinportland- police.com.
