The Police Review Board (PRB) is an advisory body to the Chief of the Portland Police Bureau. The Board makes recommendations to the Chief regarding findings and discipline and may make recommendations regarding the adequacy and completeness of an investigation. It may also make policy or training recommendations to the Chief.

The Board reviews incidents and complaints of misconduct about Portland Police Bureau personnel in the following situations: those that may result in suspension of pay, instances when officers discharge their weapons, and in-custody deaths. Other cases can be referred for Board review by the Chief, high-ranking Police supervisors, or the Independent Police Review Director.

The Board is made up of Police personnel, a representative of the Independent Police Review (IPR), and community members. PRB members hear evidence presented from a number of perspectives and vote on recommendations that go to the Chief.

Candidates are recommended by the Independent Police Review (IPR) and confirmed by City Council to serve as needed. Community volunteers are appointed for a term of no more than three years, but may serve two full terms plus the remainder of any unexpired vacancy they may be appointed to fill.

The PRB supports the City by:

Making recommendations as to findings and proposed officer discipline to the Chief of Police;Reviewing incidents and investigations of alleged misconduct by sworn officers who are employed by the Portland Police Bureau in certain cases;Making recommendations regarding the adequacy or completeness of an investigation;Optionally making policy or training recommendations to the Chief of Police.

    People who join this committee will become what we call "Public Officials," which means that while you serve you must behave fair and ethically. We will provide training on this once you are accepted. Part of following Public Officials Ethics laws means you must tell the group when you or a relative may financially benefit (or avoid fees) by your recommendations. This is called a "Conflict of Interest." If you tell us about potential Conflicts of Interest that does not mean you cannot serve, in fact, many committees have potential members with Conflicts of Interest. We appreciate your ethical inclusion of possible Conflicts of Interest on the form included in the application.

    We Remove Barriers
    Let us know if there are barriers to your participation.

    Apply Here:

    This application allows you to simultaneously apply to the PRB as well as four other public safety-focused advisory bodies (PCCEP, FITCOG, PBAC, and CRC).

    This application will be used to fill current vacancies, and applications will be kept on file for up to a year for filling any future vacancies that may arise. Additional vacancies are expected for this committee each March.

    Applications received by 11:59 PM on the last day of each month will be reviewed beginning the following the month for any vacancies that exist at that time.

    To talk with someone about this opportunity or to receive assistance completing the application, please contact Ocean Eale at .

    Applications are evaluated and scored by a selection committee and the most qualified applicants are asked to appear for an interview. Selected applicants are asked to submit to a background check (each applicant is reviewed individually and results of a background check do not necessarily preclude service on Police Review Board) and are then submitted by the IPR Director for City Council appointment to a three-year term.

    An info session will be held in September.
