Public Safety Support Hires
The Portland Police Bureau
has hired a new group of nine
Public Safety Support Special-
ists and five new Police Officers.
The new hires will undergo ori-
entation and training before be-
ing assigned to the city’s police
precincts.
Portland Police Bureau mem-
bers are working diligently to
hire a diverse team of sworn of-
ficers as it faces a shortage most-
ly due to retirements. The public
has been asked to help in recruit-
ment and the police bureau has
revamped its hiring process, and
lowered some educational stan-
dards, to gain more applicants.
“We are very excited to bring
these high caliber individuals
on board in the Public Safety
Support Specialist and Police
Officer roles,” said Chief Dan-
ielle Outlaw. “We invite anyone
considering a career in public
service to apply to join our team
as we continue to provide the
highest quality public service in
Portland.”

how to become a Portland Police
Officer, including salary and ben-

reau will also hold another hiring
workshop on Saturday, July 20
for information on the PPB appli-
cation process and physical abili-
ty test required.
