PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) A new FBI-led task force will work with police in Portland, Oregon, to build cases against people responsible for an increase in shootings.
Creating a multi-agency Metro Safe Streets Task Force came after much negotiation and a guarantee for set boundaries on Portland officers’ participation, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported.
Under a memorandum of understanding reached with the city attorney’s office, Portland officers working with the task force will be deputized as federal officers but won’t do immigration or crowd control enforcement with or for federal law enforcement. The city can remove Portland officers from the task force at any time.
