The new voter-mandated Oversight System consists of two branches: the Office of Community-Based Police Accountability (OCPA) and the Community Board for Police Accountability (CBPA). One of the Board's initial responsibilities will be hiring a Director to oversee the staff and operations of the OCPA. Portland City Code Title 35 outlines the roles and responsibilities for investigators in the OCPA and introduces a new classification within the City's structure: the Oversight Navigator. Establishing these classifications for OCPA, now, will give the Director the flexibility to hire as soon as they are ready, better ensuring the office becomes operational in a timely manner.
Not applicable.
There was an extensive public process for community members and stakeholders who provided their critiques and comments in support of the Oversight System. These classifications will support the staffing and operational component required to deliver the voter-approved services. These classifications will independently, promptly, fairly and impartially investigate sworn employees and supervisors within the Portland Police Bureau with a primary focus on community concerns.
The creation of these classifications does not present a financial or budgetary impact that is not beyond the existing authorized budget. The Oversight System budget of $14.8 million dollars is proportional to five percent of the concurrently adopted Portland Police Bureau's annual operating budget. The amount of funding needed for staffing within OCPA is not yet determined. The OCPA Director will determine how many positions are needed for each classification.
