Who we are

 

The Independent Police Review Division (IPR) and the nine-member Citizen Review Committee (CRC) were created in 2001 to help improve police accountability, promote higher standards of police services, and increase public confidence.

 

IPR has five primary responsibilities:

  • Receive citizen complaints alleging misconduct by Portland police officers.
  • Monitor investigations conducted by the Bureau’s Internal Affairs Division (IAD) and conduct joint or independent investigations if necessary.
  • Report on complaint and investigation activities and recommend policy changes to prevent future problems.
  • Hire a qualified expert to review closed investigations of officer-involved shootings and in-custody deaths and report on policy and quality of investigation issues.
  • Coordinate appeals filed by citizens and officers with the CRC and City Council.

To contact Independent Police Review Division email ipr@portlandoregon.gov

 

CRC members are appointed by City Council to perform four primary functions:

  • Gather community concerns about police services.
  • Help the IPR Director develop policy recommendations to address patterns of problems with police services and conduct.
  • Review and advise on IPR and IAD handling of complaints.
  • Hear appeals from complainants and officers and publicly report its findings.
