Through optimization, we aim to better serve the diverse needs of our community and ensure that every resident feels safe and protected.   Enhance collaboration internally, with partner agencies and the community: Fostering a culture of collaboration and partnership is crucial for creating a more integrated, efficient, and responsive system that better serves the diverse needs of Portland's residents.

Effective public safety systems must include upstream investment in prevention, support community resilience, and play an important role in recovery from emergencies. This goal further underscores that this vision cannot be achieved without strong community and interjurisdictional partnerships and networks.For more information, please visit? https://www.portland.gov/service-areas/public-safety   About the Public Safety Deputy City Administrator Position:   The City of Portland is seeking a collaborative, strategic, and transparent leader to serve as its Public Safety Deputy City Administrator (DCA).
