Safety for Everyone

We need safe communities for every Portlander.

Portland For All believes all Portlanders deserve to feel safe, and have appropriate options to provide assistance when there is an emergency.

This means fully investing in programs that reduce harm and make us safer, such as Portland Street Response, which sends professionally trained mental health providers to support people in crisis instead of armed officers. This allows the police to focus on crime. Our police department needs proper community oversight to address a long history of broken trust. The voter-approved police accountability measure is the first step in that journey.
