Portland Street Response Committee report presentation

On June 25, 2025, City Council adopted Resolution 37709, which expressed Council support for expanding Portland Street Response (PSR) as a co-equal branch of the first responder system and established the Portland Street Response Committee to advise Council on that expansion. Several stakeholder bodies, including the Portland Committee on Community-Engaged Policing, recommended creating the committee. The 15-member committee brought community members directly into decisions about PSR's future through ongoing engagement with the community. Having completed its report at the end of its term of service, the committee will now present its findings and recommendations to Council members.
