In order to best carry out our mission, the Department is divided into four functional areas: Uniformed Operations, Criminal Investigations, Emergency Communications and Administration. We also staff a number of specialty teams to effectively manage specific types of high risk incidents and provide specialized response or participate in task forces which target identified problems within the community.

OUR MISSION

The mission of the Portland Police Department is to maintain a safe city by working in partnership with the community to prevent and reduce crime, protect life and property, help resolve neighborhood problems, and protect the rights of all.
