PORTLAND — Three weeks after the Portland City Council approved a sweeping $6 million plan to combat an historic surge in gun violence, most of its core components have been slow to materialize.
There is no firm date for when a reestablished police team tasked with stopping shootings will hit the streets.
The community oversight committee that will eventually monitor and review those officers may not come together for at least another month.
The city has yet to cut a check from the $4.1 million set aside for nonprofits focused on gun violence prevention and healing, and only plans to dole out about 5% of that money by July 1.
