PPB To Form Crowd Control Unit

(Portland, OR) -- Portland City Council has approved a process to form a crowd control unit in the Portland Police Bureau. The previous version, called the Rapid Response Team, was dissolved after officers quit when one officer was indicted for excessive use of force. City Council has set specific guidelines for the development of the new unit. Officers will be paid an additional six percent, which is similar to other specialized units. They want the public order team in place by the November General Election.
