Why Portland Has Fewer Working Cops Now Than Any Point In The Last 30 Years

The Portland Police Bureau currently deploys fewer sworn officers — 789 — than at any point in the past in 30 years, according to the bureau and an analysis of records by The Oregonian/OregonLive, even though the city added more than 165,000 new residents over that period.

Why? One big reason is the city’s growing struggle to hire new cops and retain the ones it has.

Ten years ago, Oregon’s largest city had nearly 1,000 working sworn officers, from those driving patrol up to the chief. But that number stands below 800 today – in part because city leaders have shrunk the number of authorized positions but mostly because an unprecedented 127 sworn positions are vacant.
