PCCEP is a new configuration of the COAB (Community Oversight Advisory Board) that was formed as a result of the DOJ settlement agreement. The first year of this program was intended to be focused on recruiting and selecting members, training those members, and collecting information from stakeholders. The first PCCEP public meeting was held in November so there are no previous years of activity. Participation and completion of tasks assigned through the DOJ Settlement and other advisement sought by the Mayor are a few key aspects of the formation of the PCCEP. But the PCCEP acts more broadly to represent the community of Portland; especially those most marginalized. The PCCEP is comprised of a diverse group of Portland community members who work together to not only achieve equitable policing, but to be a mechanism of information sharing between the City, PPB and the Portland community. The mission of PCCEP is to work with the Mayor/Police Commissioner, Portland Police Bureau, and Portland's diverse constituencies to solicit and exchange information between the community and Portland Police Bureau (PPB) to achieve the desired outcomes of equitable policing which exceeds constitutional requirements, and meaningful community engagement with and trust in PPB. PCCEP will continue to work to facilitate positive police/community relationships as well as review and make recommendations on PPB policies touching the DOJ Settlement Agreement including constitutional policing, use of force, interactions with people experiencing mental illnesses, complaint investigations, and racial justice.

Services Equity Impacts In December 2012, the DOJ found that that PPB engage in a pattern or practice of unnecessary or unreasonable force during interactions with people who have or are perceived to have mental illness. The City reached a Settlement Agreement that included a community oversight component. That Committee was redefined in 2017 and relaunched as the PCCEP. The PCCEP was charged with responding to PPB's Community Engagement Plan and has since made recommendations for that plan with community input at the forefront. Additionally, the Committee is focused on producing recommendations that help to mitigate negative interactions with PPB disproportionately experienced by people living with mental illness, American Indian/Alaska Native people, Black people, Latinx people, houseless people, and LGBTQ+ people. It is critical that the committee exist as an independent community voice for input into PPB activities, policies and procedures. Robust community engagement with people living with mental illness and communities of color is designed to improve PPB service and interaction with these communities. Beyond this, the Portland community has unlimited knowledge to offer to PCCEP and to PPB; this committee gives the community a 572
