"To demonstrate our commitment to being a dedicated partner with the community we are releasing videos and investigative documents related to the Officer-Involved Shooting that took place on April 7, 2018."

The Portland Police Bureau is continuing to conduct an internal administrative investigation of the entire incident. Once the internal administrative investigation is complete, the case will be presented to the Police Review Board (PRB), which is comprised of community members, Bureau members and representatives from the Independent Police Review Division.
