"Workers who investigate cops at the current Independent Police Review (IPR) unit have authorized a strike. How come? Well, as you know, Portland is finally implementing its new, civilian-led police oversight system-the one voters approved five (!) years ago. (Sheesh.) Anyway, this new system will have a community board and an office of investigators who review police misconduct complaints. (It will also have more authority than the current Independent Police Review unit that it's replacing.)"
The Mercury requests small monthly contributions to sustain news reporting, arts and culture coverage, event calendars, and year-round events that support the city. Mostly sunny skies are expected today and tomorrow with a predicted high near 88 degrees. Workers who investigate cops at the current Independent Police Review (IPR) unit have authorized a strike over guaranteed job placement during the transition to a new civilian-led police oversight system. The new system will include a community board and an office of investigators with greater authority, but the city is requiring current IPR staff to reapply. The Oregon Department of Transportation began the first phase of the I-5 Rose Quarter project with a subdued groundbreaking amid scrutiny and a statewide transportation crisis.
