  • The Portland Police Bureau Wellness Program - Talking Beat
    The Portland Police Bureau has implemented a comprehensive wellness program dedicated to the physical, mental, emotional, and financial well-being of its officers. This initiative allows officers one hour of wellness activities per 10-hour shift, which includes exercising, consulting with financial advisors, participating in yoga or meditation sessions, among other things. Developed with contributions from the Portland community, the program supports officers during their service and extends into retirement. Key advantages of this program are enhanced physical fitness, better quality sleep, mental health care, and more family time. The Portland Police Bureau regards this wellness program as a crucial investment in their officers, contributing to improved public safety.

  • Hiring Military Veterans 2024 - Talking Beat
    On this special edition of Talking Beat, we're talking about the recruiting and hiring of military veterans. PPB’s Recruitment Officer Patrick Johnson sits down with officer Zach, to discuss his perspective of the bureau as a former marine. In this episode, he will review his firsthand experiences transitioning from the military to the Portland Police Bureau, as well as his views on training in the academies, the benefits of wellness time, making meaningful friendships, and using the GI Bill for job training. As a reminder, the Portland Police Bureau is currently hiring new and lateral officer positions. A six-figure law enforcement career with a $5,000 signing bonus in Oregon’s largest city is available. Top step officer pay is $117K. That is before the vast amounts of overtime opportunities, before guaranteed extra incentives that can exceed 30% in more pay and even before the chance to participate in our three-track promotional process (criminalist, detective and/or sergeant) after just 4.5 years of service. In 2022, criminalists made an average of $134,723, detectives made an average of $162,486 and those in the sergeant rank made an average of $183,041. PPB has the best training on the west coast, likely the country. We have the best-looking badge, best looking uniform, solid gear, a new batch of 70ish technologically advanced patrol cars being rolled out, a 4/10 schedule, over 40 assignment opportunities and we will even pay you while you work out during every shift. It goes without saying, but Oregon’s backyard is unmatched in its beauty…the ocean, the gigantic mountains, the rivers, the lakes, a desert, a gorge, the waterfalls, the forests, etc. We give you more paid time off than most know what to do with to enjoy life outside of work. Want to travel outside of Oregon? PDX was just rated #1 for on-time departures and is consistently rated the best US airport over the past decade. We will even reimburse up to $10,000 for your move to the Pacific Northwest while buying everything you need to work the street as one of Portland’s finest! The hiring process is streamlined and now takes about 5 months, sometimes quicker. To learn more, contact a recruiter or visit https://joinportlandpolice.com

  • Sex Trafficking in Portland - Talking Beat
    The discussion revolves around the crucial work of the Human Trafficking Unit in Portland, focusing primarily on juvenile sex trafficking. Collaborative efforts with law enforcement agencies, the District Attorney's office, and dedicated advocates like Robin, a survivor-turned-advocate, are highlighted. The team strives to combat trafficking, support victims, and hold offenders accountable. They emphasize a victim-centered approach, prioritizing safety and trust-building with those involved in the sex trade. Despite the challenges and prevalence of underreporting, the unit remains committed to addressing the community livability issues associated with trafficking while advocating for long-term support and resources for survivors.
