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.”
