Recently the Chief of the PPB wrote a letter to 86 recently retired officers. The Chief, in essence, pleaded with the retirees to come back. They’re Waaaay short of cops and the council approved some $$ to rehire the cops who left. Many in disdain.
The letter said no officers would be considered if they helped the Federalies during the attempt to burn/destroy the US Courthouse during the george floyd riots.
The letter also stated that the rehired cops would have the full backing and support of city government. Yeah sure.
The letter failed to motivate. Out of 86 letters sent only 2 former cop replied. That doesn’t say a lot for the support of the department or city governance.
A number of Portland cops are eligible for retirement soon…gonna bet they take advantage of that opportunity and get the hell out!
Peace
