Community Conversation on the
Portland Police Union Contract
Saturday, April 11th from 12-2pm
at Matt Dishman Community Center

Please join us for a Community Conversation on the Portland Police Union Contract, which will take place on Saturday, April 11 from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Matt Dishman Community Center.

This event is co-hosted by the Portland Committee on Community-Engaged Policing (PCCEP), a group of 13 community members who serve independently from the Portland Police Bureau and are dedicated to strengthening community oversight and engagement.

The Portland Police Association (PPA) contract is the collective bargaining agreement between the City of Portland and the police union. It outlines key areas such as officer discipline, accountability processes, working conditions, and aspects of oversight. As the City prepares for upcoming negotiations, this conversation is an opportunity for community members to share input on what they would like to see reflected in that contract.

The event will include:

• A brief overview from the City Attorney’s Office on how the bargaining process works and key considerations
• Facilitated roundtable discussions where participants can engage in topics they are most interested in
• Opportunities for attendees to share input that will be documented and carried forward to help inform the process

Discussion topics may include areas such as oversight and accountability, transparency, hiring and training practices, discipline, and mental health and wellness, based on themes identified in previous community conversations.

PCCEP is committed to making sure your input is meangiful in this process, and the conversation will be led by an independent facilitator who is not part of the City.
