The Position The Community Safety Division invites community members and representatives of community-based organizations to join City employees and representatives of other local jurisdictions on the advisory committee for a new community safety strategic plan! This plan will set the direction and align the structure of the new public safety service area, which includes the Community Safety Division, the Portland Bureau of Emergency Communications (911), the Portland Bureau of Emergency Management, Portland Fire & Rescue, and the Portland Police Bureau. Portland City Council created the Community Safety Division to transition Portland’s current public safety model, in which four public safety bureaus operate independently of one another, into a holistic community safety system that aligns City bureaus and resources to improve services and outcomes for the community. The objective of this strategic plan will be to build a modern community safety system that reflects the City’s core values (anti-racism, equity, transparency, communication, collaboration, and fiscal responsibility), helps ensure that all Portlanders are safe, with access to help when they need it, coordinates services effectively and efficiently, and is accountable and adaptable to current community expectations and changing conditions. This strategic plan will help identify innovative alternative service models and refocus existing resources and programs so that the community feels that the responses to their safety needs are adequate, appropriate, support their wellbeing, and don't cause harm. This plan will help ensure that Portland’s community safety system is equipped to serve the most underserved communities. When operationalized, the plan will align the City’s internal governance and staffing to support the envisioned community safety system. Advisory committee members will: Draft service area vision, mission, values, and goals and refine them based on community and employee input Develop recommendations for submission to the directors and chiefs of the Community Safety Division and public safety bureaus Advise on community engagement for the project (via a community engagement subcommittee) Review and provide feedback on the objectives and strategic actions developed by City employees Determine the need for additional community and employee review cycles Total number of advisory seats: 27 Number of seats available: 10 To Qualify To be eligible for the advisory committee, members must live, play, worship, go to school, work or do business in the City of Portland .
