The Portland Police Bureau is launching a new monthly newsletter, NewsBeat: https://www.portlandoregon.gov/police/newsbeat

NewsBeat will also be regularly recorded as a podcast, and in the coming months, it will also be broadcast in different languages, starting with Spanish and Russian.

The goal of the newsletter is to extend communication efforts to people who might not have access to information the Bureau disseminates through other channels. The newsletter features the major stories of the month and will highlights upcoming events and other Bureau news.

Hard copies will be available at Portland Police Precincts and the Sunshine Division. The Bureau will share it with its social service partners and is in the process of developing a system that includes the emails of community members who currently serve on advisory committees, attended public forums or other Bureau contacts. The newsletter, along with calendar notifications and other non-breaking news, will be shared with this email list. Community members can sign up to be included here: https://www.portlandoregon.gov/police/email

Suggestions or feedback for the newsletter, can be emailed to ppbpio@portlandoregon.gov or by calling 971-339-8868.
