Services
The Community Policing Section consists of personnel who work closely with community members, service agencies, business owners, and other government agencies to develop and implement programs, initiatives and services throughout Portland's neighborhoods.
Crime analysis is a type of law enforcement analysis that is focused on the study of criminal incidents; the identification and analysis of patterns, trends, and problems; and the dissemination of information that helps a police agency develop tactics and strategies to solve patterns, trends, and problems.
