[dir] Bureau of Emergency Communications pp. 606-615 ↗ The Bureau of Emergency Communications delivers Portland's 9-1-1 services through 9-1-1 Operations ($32.3M), Technology Systems ($4.9M managing CAD and phone systems at 99.99% uptime), and Administration & Support ($2.34M). Key priorities include Emergency Fire Dispatch accreditation, equity measures, and upgrading to Next Generation 9-1-1.
[dir] Office of the Public Safety DCA pp. 616-632 ↗ The Public Safety DCA consolidates six programs addressing violence reduction and community response. Portland Street Response ($10.97M unarmed crisis response), Ceasefire ($6.66M gun violence reduction), and OVP ($4.96M public health partnerships) deliver data-driven, community-focused services, supported by administrative consolidation, Enterprise Services integration, and DOJ oversight functions.
[dir] Portland Bureau of Emergency Management pp. 633-645 ↗ The Bureau encompasses five service areas: administration ($2.6M), emergency operations ($1.1M), community preparedness, planning & mitigation, and regional disaster preparedness ($2.7M). Emergency Operations fell 55% from approximately $2.5M in the prior year, while Regional Disaster Preparedness declined from approximately $3.8M, both driven by reduced federal funding and personnel costs.

The bureau emphasizes equity initiatives including diverse recruitment, culturally-tailored safety resources, and translation services.
