Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler: Portlanders 'Want the Truth' on Record Levels of Gun Violence
Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler said his recent emergency declaration may provide the best chance yet at intervening in the ongoing violence in Portland.
The program, Safer Summer PDX, will target potential shooters and is funded with $2.4 million in taxpayer money.
Despite millions in intervention and prevention investments since April 2021 and several new police teams focused on violence, shootings have continued to outpace the record-setting 2021. Wheeler told KATU in a one-on-one conversation Friday that the city's solutions aren't reducing violence yet, because most of the investments are focused on programs that take years to have an impact.
