Bend Police Chief Jim Porter Delays Retirement

BEND, OR --  Bend Police Chief Jim Porter is putting off retirement to help the city manage the COVID-19 Pandemic. He had planned to make this Friday his final day following a 42 year career in law enforcement. The Bulletin reports Porter and City Manager Eric King agreed he will stay on the job until at least June 15th. Porter says he will work with King to deal with operational budget cuts due to an expectation that city tax revenues are going to face a big drop due to the stay at home order and the closure of many businesses.
