continued from page 1
announcing the appeal. “I
believe that public trust in
policing
in
Portland
depends on all Council
members
demonstrating
that we are committed to
implementing the Agree-
ment fully. I accept that
responsibility.”
Meanwhile, the city is in
the process of hiring a Com-
pliance Officer /Community
Liaison to monitor progress
of the agreement.
Three finalists have been
interviewed and the city has
asked the public to com-
ment on the hire. However,
the Mental Health Associa-
tion of Portland has called
for a new recruitment effort
saying the city failed to
advertise the quarter of a
million a year position
widely enough.
Just 12 resumes were sub-
mitted for the position. Beck-
