Service Area Priorities and Challenges:
Improve public safety response capabilities: This goal focuses on enhancing the efficiency, effectiveness, and appropriateness of our public safety responses. 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. By enhancing collaboration, we aim to break down silos, improve communication and build trust.
Increase focus on the overall well-being of the public safety workforce and system: This goal includes fostering the physical, mental, and professional health of the workforce while modernizing technology, upgrading infrastructure, and ensuring long-term financial sustainability.
Strengthen prevention, recovery, and resilience capabilities: While public safety government services are traditionally associated with emergency response, overall safety involves a broad range of factors. 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
