City of Portland Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Budget partners, and local jurisdictions to implement innovative strategies that promote vibrant and resilient communities and reduce the need for emergency services. A key goal of the programs is to transition Portland's current public safety model, in which four public safety bureaus operate independently of one another, into a holistic system that aligns City bureaus and resources to improve services and outcomes for the community. Services Service area leadership; strategic planning; budget; procurement & contracts management; personnel services; accounting; community engagement; strategic communications Equity Impacts The programs are committed to the City of Portland's core values—Anti-racism, Communication, Collaboration, Equity, Transparency, and Fiscal Responsibility—throughout their programs and processes. The group is leading a strategic planning project that will help ensure all Portlanders are safe, with access to help when they need it; that services are coordinated effectively and efficiently; and that the bureaus are accountable and adaptable to current community expectations and changing conditions. This plan will identify innovative alternative service models and refocus existing resources and programs so that the community feels that the responses to their safety needs are adequate, appropriate, support their wellbeing, and don't cause harm. This plan will ensure identity does not determine outcomes and that Portland's public safety system is equipped to serve the most marginalized communities. Changes to Program The Community Safety Division has been dissolved and the new Public Safety Service Area will be served by the Office of the Public Safety Deputy City Administrator who works with bureaus and local partners to deploy equitable, transparent, and effective community safety solutions. The Office of the Public Safety Deputy City Administrator now comprises two units: Enterprise Services and Community Safety. Enterprise Services encompasses service area units including Business Services, Policy & Legislation, Communications, and community advisory body program management. Community Safety includes the Office of Violence Prevention (OVP), Portland Ceasefire, and Portland Street Response. The four public safety bureaus work alongside Enterprise Services and Community Safety and report to the Deputy City Administrator. 622
