Bend's Interim Police Chief Moves the Department Forward During a Difficult Time

The previous chief was fired last week following ethical problems and low morale at the department.

 

This comes on the heels of another police officer resigning just before being fired for having sex on the job.

 

Interim Police Chief Jim Porter says don't judge the department by one person.

 

"And it's a terrible situation when one individual is stepping outside of the norm and that action is painting 85 other officers who live up to those standards every day."

 

Jim Porter is expected to act as the interim Police Chief for the next six months.  He says he is interested in the permanent position.
