PORTLAND The Police Citizen Review Subcommittee is pushing back against the city manager’s response to its request to seat two residents on the Portland Police Department’s internal use of force committee.
Subcommittee member Maria Testa said City Manager Jon Jennings’ response fails to fully address its recommendations and is far from what the subcommittee intended in its effort to bring better transparency to how Portland officers use force on the job.
