City of Portland Fiscal Year 2026-27 Proposed Budget Services Community engagement; Sunshine Division; youth services; School Resource Officers Equity Impacts Equity is considered in all functions of this program. The communities served (houseless, those experiencing a mental health crisis, minority communities, Limited English Proficiency, and communities of color) can often be adversely impacted by the criminal justice system. This program takes great care to ensure people served are given a voice, treated fairly and with respect. This commitment is in line with the tenants of procedural justice. This approach helps the bureau build trust within communities that may be reluctant to trust police. Trust and relationship-building are critical for the program as it serves some of the most vulnerable members of our community. Changes to Program There are no changes to the Community Engagement program offer for FY 2026-27. 682
