(Portland, OR) -- Supporters of Portland Police are working to get an initiative on the November 2026 ballot that would ask voters if they want more police officers. Portland currently has 810 officers and ranks 48th among the 50 largest U.S. cities. The initiative would add 400 officers. They would be paid for by using 50 to 90 million dollars a year from the Portland Clean Energy Benefits Fund. Organizers need to gather over 40-thousand signatures by July 6th to get the measure on the ballot.
